HB 3125: Authorizes a real property tax exemption for taxpayers sixty-five years of age or older who own a homestead

HB 3125 would create a property tax exemption for Missouri homeowners aged 65 or older who own and live in their primary residence (homestead). Starting in 2027, eligible owners would not pay real property taxes on their homestead, but they would lose eligibility for other property tax credits or relief programs. The state would reimburse local governments for lost tax revenue due to this exemption. This exemption cannot be transferred or combined with other tax relief for the same property.

HB 3131: Requires that a behavioral health specialist be dispatched with law enforcement when responding to calls classified by dispatch as mental-health related

HB 3131 requires that for all emergency calls classified as mental-health related, law enforcement must respond with a behavioral health specialist (such as a psychologist, social worker, or counselor) alongside the officer. This applies unless dispatch or on-scene assessment indicates an immediate threat of violence, in which case officers may initially secure the scene without the specialist but must bring them in once the scene is safe. The bill mandates standardized dispatch protocols to identify mental-health calls and assign co-response teams, directly affecting Missouri law enforcement agencies and emergency dispatch centers. It aims to improve crisis response by ensuring trained behavioral health professionals are part of the initial emergency team for mental health calls.

HCR 37: Condemns abuses by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, affirms the constitutional and human rights of all people within the United States, and recognizes the essential social and economic contributions of migrants to the nation

HCR 37 is a symbolic resolution condemning U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) practices it claims include unlawful detentions, racial profiling, and family separations. It affirms that all people in the U.S. - regardless of immigration status - have constitutional rights and recognizes migrants' vital economic contributions, including in agriculture, healthcare, and other key sectors. The resolution does not change laws but directs Missouri’s Congressional delegation and an ICE official to receive a copy of this non-binding statement. It addresses concerns that ICE actions have caused harm, discouraged community engagement, and violated due process protections.

The bill directly affects election offices and voters seeking transparency about how votes were recorded, without disclosing individual voter identities.

HB 3130: Modifies provisions relating to constitutional liberties

HB 3130 is a Missouri legislative declaration asserting state authority over federal laws regarding firearms and law enforcement transparency. It states that Missouri rejects federal restrictions on gun ownership within the state and declares that federal laws requiring facial coverings for police or limiting gun rights exceed constitutional limits. The bill mandates that all peace officers in Missouri must publicly identify themselves during interactions, prohibiting face coverings except in immediate safety emergencies. This is a declaratory statement of policy, not a new law, and does not change existing legal obligations. It directly affects Missouri law enforcement practices and residents' gun rights within state borders.

HB 3133: Increases the cigarette tax from $0.17 per pack of 20 cigarettes to $1.50 per pack, upon voter approval

HB 3133 proposes increasing the cigarette tax from $0.17 to $1.50 per pack of 20 cigarettes, requiring voter approval in a November 2026 election. This tax applies to all cigarettes sold in the state and directly affects cigarette consumers, retailers, and manufacturers. Revenue from the tax would initially fund the health initiatives fund (until the legislature appropriates 25% of federal reimbursement funds), then shift to the general revenue fund after 2027. The bill does not take effect without voter approval and specifies how tax stamps must be affixed to cigarette packages.

HB 3109: Prohibits disorderly conduct at the captiol

HB 3109 prohibits disruptive behavior in the state capitol building, directly affecting individuals entering or remaining in designated areas like legislative chambers or committee rooms. It bans actions such as loud/abusive speech, obstruction, physical violence, or disrupting official business, with penalties of a class C misdemeanor for first offenses and class B for repeat violations. The bill explicitly exempts lawmakers, their staff, and official state employees performing their duties. This is a procedural measure focused on maintaining order during legislative operations, not a substantive policy change.

Special provisions apply to affordable housing investments in distressed communities, offering up to 55% tax credits under separate annual limits. The bill affects businesses and financial institutions making qualifying contributions, excluding normal business activities like banking or insurance operations.

HB 3138: Requires certain police departments to establish a missing person's unit

HB 3138 requires police departments in counties with over one million residents to create a dedicated missing persons unit. This unit must coordinate missing person reports, enter data into state and national databases (MULES and NCIC), establish communication systems for missing persons information, and work with the state highway patrol's missing persons unit. Departments may hire new staff or reassign current employees for this unit, with costs covered by their regular operating budget. The bill directly affects large-county police departments and mandates specific operational procedures for handling missing persons cases.

HB 3121: Establishes the "Missouri Free School Meals Program" to reimburse schools for providing free breakfasts and lunches to all students and a tax deduction for persons or entities that donate to a fund that reimburses schools for free school meals

HB 3121 creates Missouri's "Free School Meals Program," requiring participating schools (public, private, charter, or virtual) to provide all students with free breakfast and lunch daily after seeking federal reimbursement. The state will reimburse schools for the difference between federal meal rates and actual federal payments, funded by up to 1% of video lottery proceeds and donations to the "Healthy School Meals for All Fund." Additionally, tax-exempt organizations and individuals can deduct up to 75% of donations to this fund starting in 2027. The program expires after six years unless renewed and mandates biennial reports on participation and food security impacts.

HJR 180: Proposes a constitutional amendment to change the distribution of certain revenues received from the management of state natural resources

HJR 180 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring Missouri to distribute a portion of profits from state-managed natural resources (like minerals or timber) to the counties where those resources are located. This would directly affect counties with natural resource management activities, as future state laws would determine the specific method and amount of the share. The amendment must be approved by voters in a November 2026 election or a special election called by the governor. If adopted, it would change how revenue from these resources is allocated, shifting funds to local counties rather than keeping them entirely with the state.
