HB 2321: Establishes the "AI-Generated Content Accountability and Privacy Protection Act of 2026"

HB 2321, the "AI-Generated Content Accountability and Privacy Protection Act of 2026," would require explicit written consent before publishing AI-generated content that alters a person's appearance, voice, or likeness. Violations could result in fines up to $110,000 or up to five years in prison, with higher penalties for sexual or pornographic content without consent. The law exempts artistic, educational, or research content if clearly labeled as AI-generated, and platforms hosting such content face increased fines. It also mandates privacy safeguards for verification systems, prohibiting third parties from retaining or selling biometric data. The Attorney General must report on the law's effectiveness by August 2028.

HB 1616: Establishes the "Independent Office of Corrections and Transparency" and provisions relating to department of corrections oversight

HB 1616 creates Missouri's "Independent Office of Corrections and Transparency," a small oversight body with two full-time staff to monitor prison conditions and staff welfare. It directly affects incarcerated people, prison staff, and their families by establishing a formal process for reporting issues like sanitation, abuse, medical care, or safety concerns. Key provisions require the Corrections Director to publicly disclose appointment applicants 30 days in advance, mandate correctional experience for the Director, and empower the new office to investigate complaints about prison conditions under specific "covered issues" (e.g., neglect, violence, access to programs). The office will provide information on rights and monitor department compliance with safety and welfare standards, operating with limited resources. This bill focuses on structural oversight rather than altering sentencing or funding.

HB 2361: Establishes provisions relating to altered sexual depictions

HB 2361 makes it a crime to create, share, or possess nonconsensual digital alterations of a person's sexual images (like deepfakes showing someone in explicit acts they never participated in). It targets platforms hosting user-generated content (e.g., social media, apps) by requiring them to establish a clear removal process for such content by December 2026, allowing victims to request takedowns within 48 hours. Violators face a class C felony charge, and victims can sue for $10,000 or actual damages plus legal fees. The law explicitly states disclaimers about lack of consent do not prevent criminal liability. It directly affects individuals whose images are manipulated without consent and platforms that host such content.

HB 2350: Modifies certain provisions to include artificially generated visual depictions of a minor

HB 2350 updates child pornography laws to explicitly include "artificially generated visual depictions" of minors. The bill defines these as images that are obscene, indistinguishable from real minors, morphed from real minor images, or created without any actual minor involvement. This change makes it illegal to create, distribute, or possess such AI-generated images that depict minors in sexually explicit conduct. The law directly affects anyone producing or sharing synthetic media that mimics real minors, aligning definitions with emerging technology risks.

HB 1766: Modifies provisions relating to personal property assessments

HB 1766 modifies how local governments adjust property tax rates when property valuations change. It requires counties, cities, and school districts to revise tax rates for different property types (like residential or commercial) to maintain the same total tax revenue as the previous year, excluding certain properties such as railroads and utilities. The bill sets limits on rate increases, preventing them from exceeding voter-approved ceilings or a 5% annual inflation cap. This ensures local governments collect consistent revenue after valuation changes while adhering to constitutional and legal constraints.

HB 1785: Modifies provisions relating to an income tax credit for contributions to pregnancy resource centers

HB 1785 creates a state income tax credit for Missouri taxpayers who donate to qualifying pregnancy resource centers. It offers tax credits of 50% (2007-2020), 70% (2021-2026), and 100% (2027+) of donations, up to $50,000 annually per taxpayer. To qualify, centers must provide free, non-abortion services (no abortions performed/referred) and meet strict criteria like in-person support and IRS tax-exempt status. The bill sets annual spending limits on total credits ($2.5M until 2019, then $3.5M until 2021, with no cap after 2021) and requires state verification of center eligibility.

HB 1845: Establishes the Missouri Angel Investment Incentive Act

HB 1845 creates the Missouri Angel Investment Incentive Act, offering tax credits to qualified investors who provide cash investments to eligible Missouri businesses. The bill directly affects accredited investors (including those meeting federal JOBS Act criteria) and "qualified Missouri businesses" approved by the Missouri Technology Corporation (MTC) as tech-focused companies operating in designated geographic regions across Missouri. Key provisions include tax credits equal to 25% of qualifying investments (up to $100,000 per investor annually) for businesses meeting location criteria - either domiciled in Missouri or primarily operating within the state. The law excludes investors who are executives, officers, or employees of the business they invest in, but allows directors to qualify for credits.

HB 1917: Creates new provisions relating to public water supply districts

HB 1917 creates a new process for landowners in Missouri to seek detachment from a public water supply district. It allows owners of 50% or more of a land parcel not receiving water service to petition a circuit court for detachment if four conditions are met: no residents live there, no district water infrastructure is present, no district bonds are outstanding, and the land is in a qualifying county (with charter government, multiple water districts, or adjacent to a city in another county). The bill requires petitioners to submit legal descriptions, sworn affidavits, and certified mail notifications to the district and county offices. If county or district authorities fail to respond within 30 days on required checks, the court treats their silence as meeting the condition. This directly affects landowners seeking to exit a water district without service.

HB 1769: Establishes the "AI Non-Sentience and Responsibility Act"

This bill establishes the "AI Non-Sentience and Responsibility Act" to clarify that artificial intelligence systems are not legal persons and cannot hold rights, responsibilities, or legal status equivalent to humans. It explicitly prohibits AI from being recognized as a spouse, corporate officer, or property owner, while assigning liability for harm caused by AI systems to their owners, users, developers, or manufacturers depending on the circumstances. The legislation requires owners to maintain oversight and safety measures for AI systems that could impact human welfare or public safety, and mandates reporting of severe incidents involving bodily harm or death. These provisions apply to all AI systems developed, owned, or operated on or after August 28, 2026.
