Establishes transportation requirements for trailers carrying bulk refuse

Maddy summaryThis bill requires companies hauling bulk trash to landfills in the state to use enclosed trailers and mandates that these trailers be cleaned after each delivery. It also establishes a system where the Department of Natural Resources will hire an external entity to inspect trucks entering and leaving permitted landfills to ensure compliance. While the rules apply to professional hauling companies, they explicitly exclude private citizens who are dumping their own personal waste. Hauling firms that violate these requirements face escalating fines, with the fourth offense resulting in a ban from entering any permitted landfill in the state.

Adds substitute teachers to the list of allowed employment for members of the general assembly

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Missouri state legislators to work as substitute teachers without losing their seats or salary. Currently, the law prohibits lawmakers from accepting employment within the state, but this change specifically exempts substitute teaching from that restriction. The amendment also clarifies that the rule against taking new state jobs does not apply to members of the militia, school boards, or notaries public. If passed by voters, it would directly affect members of the General Assembly by permitting them to take on temporary teaching roles during their terms.
