HB 3367 designates June 20 each year as "John Goodman Day" in Missouri. It encourages Missouri citizens to participate in events honoring John Goodman, the Affton, Missouri-born actor (born 1952), for his accomplishments. The bill is procedural and symbolic, with no substantive policy changes or direct regulatory impact. It does not create new obligations or affect specific groups beyond the general encouragement to the public. The resolution is currently in the early stages of the legislative process.
HB 3361 creates a new task force on substance abuse prevention and treatment, composed of 17 members including legislators, appointed experts, and individuals with lived experience. The task force will study substance abuse trends, develop age-appropriate school education programs on fentanyl, and create standards for sober-living facilities. It also establishes a volunteer oversight board to inspect state-funded treatment centers, review operations, and monitor how opioid settlement funds are spent. Both the task force and board must report annually to the legislature and governor, with the board providing public reports on facility compliance and funding transparency. This bill directly affects state-funded substance abuse treatment facilities and the state's approach to prevention and treatment programs.
HB 3372 requires port authorities to include specific terms in development agreements with the federal government for incentivized projects. It mandates one of three options: immediate buyout payments covering future tax obligations, community benefit payments to local governments for at least five years (plus additional funds to offset lost benefits), or approval resolutions from affected municipalities or counties. These provisions directly affect port authorities, federal project partners, and local governments receiving community benefits. Failure to include these terms creates a legal lien against the property and makes the agreement voidable by the port authority.
HB 3360 changes how Missouri's MO HealthNet program pays nursing homes for Medicaid-covered services. It requires the state to seek a federal waiver to shift payments from volume-based (e.g., number of therapy sessions) to patient-driven payments based on residents' clinical needs. The bill also adds per diem payments tied to facility quality performance metrics and incentives for nursing assistant training and pay, while eliminating a prior payment adjustment for facilities with high rates of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder diagnoses among residents. These changes directly affect nursing homes participating in Missouri's Medicaid program for long-term care.
HB 3370 requires courts to offer treatment court programs for first-time felony offenders with substance use disorders before they enter a plea. Upon completing the program, pending charges are dismissed (after paying associated costs), and the bill explicitly prohibits treatment courts from barring participants from medication-assisted treatment for opioid or substance misuse. It also establishes procedures for transferring participants between jurisdictions and ensures participation in medication-assisted treatment cannot violate program terms. The bill directly affects eligible offenders in criminal cases seeking substance use disorder treatment instead of traditional sentencing.
HB 3363 adds a fifth circuit judge position to the seventh judicial circuit, effective starting fiscal year 2028. This change directly affects the seventh judicial circuit, which covers Clay County, by increasing its judicial staffing. The bill modifies the existing structure to establish a fixed five-judge composition for this circuit beginning in 2028. As a procedural adjustment to judicial staffing, it does not alter substantive law or impact broader public policy.
HB 3357 prohibits the sale of intravenous (IV) solution containers and IV tubing products that intentionally contain DEHP, a chemical additive. It directly affects medical device manufacturers and distributors in Missouri, banning sales of DEHP-containing IV containers starting January 1, 2030, and IV tubing starting January 1, 2035. The bill also bans replacing DEHP with other similar chemicals (orthophthalates) and limits unintentional DEHP to 0.1% weight per weight. Exemptions include blood collection bags and certain apheresis kits. The law aims to reduce exposure to DEHP in medical settings where it is used in IV products for patient care.
HB 3365 prevents local governments (cities or counties) from creating rules that specifically target fully autonomous vehicles, such as charging special taxes, fees, or performance standards for them. The bill directly affects local authorities by prohibiting them from enacting ordinances that would apply only to self-driving vehicles or automated driving systems. It establishes a statewide standard to avoid conflicting local regulations, ensuring autonomous vehicle operations face consistent rules across the state. This bill is currently in its early legislative stage, having been introduced in February 2026.
HB 3356 allows state legislators and other elected officials to display the state flag, U.S. flag, and POW/MIA flag outside their office doors. The bill modifies existing rules to permit this specific flag display location. It directly affects elected officials' office spaces but does not change flag display requirements for the public or other entities. This is a procedural bill focused solely on official office decor, with no substantive policy changes.
HCR 50 is a symbolic resolution (not a binding law) passed by Missouri's legislature. It formally rejects the Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide and asks the Court to reverse that decision. The resolution argues Obergefell violates constitutional principles, undermines state authority over marriage, and conflicts with Missouri's 2004 voter-approved constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman. It does not change marriage laws in Missouri or elsewhere, as resolutions like this have no legal effect on court rulings.
HB 3368 requires health insurers in the state to cover vasectomies for all policyholders starting January 1, 2027, without requiring medical necessity or imposing higher deductibles/co-pays than other services. It also creates a state program through the Department of Social Services to cover vasectomies for uninsured male residents who lack employer or public insurance, with eligibility based solely on residency and lack of coverage (no income checks). The state will fund this program via a dedicated "Vasectomy Fund," which may receive federal or private contributions and cannot revert unused funds to general revenue. These provisions apply to all health benefit plans issued in the state after 2026, excluding certain supplemental policies like short-term or Medicare supplements.
HB 3369 temporarily halts the issuance of permits for new data center construction in St. Louis for one year, until August 28, 2027. It directly affects developers and businesses seeking to build or expand facilities that process, store, or distribute data - including AI training, crypto mining, cloud computing, and server farms - within St. Louis city limits (not county areas). The bill pauses permit approvals for new applications but allows existing submissions made before August 28, 2026, to proceed under current rules. This is a procedural pause, not a permanent ban, and applies only to city-level permit decisions. The bill is pending in the legislature after introduction in February 2026.
