Maddy summaryHB 2535 changes the penalty for parents who fail to ensure their children attend school as required by law. Instead of facing criminal charges like a misdemeanor, violators would now be subject to a civil fine of up to $500. The bill also allows courts to suspend or remove this fine if the parent immediately places the child in a public, private, parochial, or home school and maintains regular attendance. This shift moves the enforcement approach from criminal prosecution to a monetary penalty while keeping the requirement for school attendance intact.
Maddy summaryHB 1955 updates Missouri state laws regarding how the state manages its financial assets and how residents calculate their state income taxes. The bill requires the state treasurer to keep at least one percent of state funds in local banks as cash or interest-bearing deposits, provided these funds are not needed for current expenses. It also modifies the state income tax code by adding specific federal tax refunds and interest amounts to a taxpayer's income while allowing certain deductions to be subtracted. These tax adjustments are designed to align Missouri's tax calculations with changes in federal tax laws, such as rules on business interest and property tax deductions.
