This bill (SB 1070) has no substantive details provided in its official abstract or recent actions. The abstract simply states it "creates provisions relating to illegal aliens" without specifying any mechanisms, requirements, or affected groups. As it is currently in the early prefiled stage (with only a first reading), no concrete policy changes or key provisions have been described or made public. Without further legislative details, it is not possible to summarize its specific impact or provisions.
SB 1222 - This act establishes that pro-life individuals and organizations, as defined in the act, may intervene in actions in which a provision of the Missouri Constitution, statute, or rule involves the regulation of abortion or where the rights of an unborn child is at issue. This act is substantially similar to a provision in SB 794 (2025). SARAH HASKINS
This bill prohibits standalone lawsuits seeking compensation for future medical monitoring (like regular check-ups or tests) in Missouri. It requires plaintiffs to prove that any requested monitoring is directly tied to a currently diagnosed physical injury or disease caused by the defendant's actions, and that the monitoring differs from standard care. The bill also clarifies that merely having a toxic substance in the bloodstream does not qualify as a diagnosable condition requiring compensation. This affects individuals filing civil lawsuits involving potential health monitoring costs.
SB 1616 restricts access to Missouri's SNAP food assistance and MO HealthNet medical benefits for non-U.S. citizens, requiring applicants to prove citizenship, national status, or specific federal immigration eligibility. It mandates documentary proof (like driver's license documents or federal status verification) at application, with temporary benefits allowed via sworn affidavit for up to 90 days or until citizenship documentation is provided. The bill explicitly excludes emergency medical care, prenatal services, children's benefits (when applied for by a citizen parent), and certain other non-cash aid like unemployment or postsecondary education. It also requires state agencies to verify immigration status through federal systems like DHS's SAVE program but prohibits denying benefits based solely on data matching.
SB 1692 replaces multiple Missouri statutes related to abortion with new definitions and reporting requirements. It defines key terms like "abortion" (including termination for reasons other than live birth), "unborn child" (from conception), and "abortion facility" (clinics or offices performing abortions outside hospitals). The bill adds abortion facilities to mandatory reporting requirements for healthcare-associated infections and financial data under Missouri's hospital reporting laws. These changes create a new administrative framework for tracking abortion services and facility compliance, without altering current abortion access rules.
HJR 109 proposes amending Missouri's state constitution to define "person" as including all human beings from conception, explicitly stating this includes "every in utero human child at every stage of biological development." It repeals the current Section 2 of Article I and replaces it with language affirming a natural right to life, while adding that the constitution "secures or protects a right to abortion" or requires abortion funding. The amendment would be submitted to Missouri voters in 2026, with an official ballot question asking if the constitution should "protect each human life with a unique DNA code regardless of age." The bill notes this change is expected to have "no fiscal impact."
HB 3055 modifies Missouri law to regulate ketamine administration for mental health treatment. It prohibits physicians from delegating ketamine ordering to others and requires physicians to be physically present when certified nurse anesthetists administer ketamine. The bill also mandates that intravenous ketamine treatment must include a documented diagnosis and treatment plan from a licensed physician. These changes directly affect physicians, certified nurse anesthetists, and mental health facilities providing ketamine therapy.
HJR 154 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring work requirements for Missouri's MO HealthNet program (state Medicaid) for certain adults. It would affect individuals aged 19-65 who qualify under federal Medicaid rules (income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level), are not pregnant, disabled, or enrolled in other federal health programs. The bill mandates documentary proof of work compliance at application and monthly to maintain coverage, prohibits self-attestation, and requires state plan changes to implement this by 2027. It does not change income eligibility thresholds but adds a new administrative requirement for this specific group.
HB 3039 modifies rules for physician assistants' prescribing authority and scope of practice. It requires physician assistants to work under written collaborative agreements with physicians for prescribing drugs, including limiting Schedule II controlled substances (like hydrocodone and oxycodone) to a 120-hour supply without refill. The bill explicitly prohibits physician assistants from prescribing abortions or using titles like "doctor," and mandates they identify themselves as PAs. Additionally, it requires new applicants after 2008 to hold a master's degree in physician assistant studies.
HB 3106, titled the "End Organ Harvesting Act of 2026," would prohibit Missouri health benefit plans (including MO HealthNet and Medicaid managed care) from covering organ transplants or post-transplant care under two specific circumstances: (1) if the transplant occurs in China, or (2) if the organ was procured through sale or donation originating in China. This bill directly affects health insurers and plans operating in Missouri by restricting coverage for these transplant scenarios. The key provision is a blanket coverage ban for transplants tied to China, as defined in the bill's text. The bill was introduced in the Missouri House on January 27, 2026, and is pending further action.
