Maddy summaryHB 1823 creates a new criminal offense for possessing an ammunition feeding device (like a magazine) that holds more than ten rounds. This law directly affects individuals who own or carry such devices in Missouri, making it illegal to possess them without exception. The bill replaces existing firearm definitions and adds specific penalty provisions for this violation. It focuses solely on restricting high-capacity feeding devices, not on other firearm types or general possession.

Maddy summaryHB 1820 creates a state registration system for doulas to enable health insurance reimbursement of their services in Missouri. The bill requires the state Department of Health to establish application criteria, review registration applications, approve or deny registrations, and maintain a public registry of approved doulas. It specifies that doulas providing non-medical support (not medical care) can register to seek reimbursement, though unregistered doulas may still practice. The department must consult community organizations like the Missouri Community Doula Council when setting registration rules. This bill does not mandate insurance coverage but provides the framework for insurers to reimburse registered doulas.

Maddy summaryHB 2564 creates a new criminal offense called "masked intimidation" in Missouri, targeting individuals who intentionally harass, intimidate, or threaten others while hiding their face with a mask or similar device to cause fear for physical safety. It classifies this as a class E felony for a first offense, escalating to class D or C felonies for repeat violations. The bill defines key terms like "intimidate" (interfering with rights based on protected characteristics) and includes exemptions for masks worn during holidays, occupational safety, weather protection, artistic events, emergencies, health reasons (like preventing illness spread), or religious practices. It explicitly states the law does not infringe on First Amendment rights or other protected activities.

Maddy summaryHB 1901 replaces Missouri's outdated indoor air quality laws with a new "Missouri Clean Indoor Air Act" (sections 191.2710-191.2750). The bill prohibits smoking and vaping in most enclosed public areas - including bars, restaurants, and workplaces - while defining specific terms like "bar," "cigar-tobacco bar," and "electronic smoking device" (ESD) to clarify enforcement. It directly affects businesses (employers), employees, and public venues by requiring smoke-free environments, with strict rules for cigar-tobacco bars (e.g., freestanding locations and revenue limits). The law includes penalty provisions for violations and explicitly exempts entryways and certain medical devices.

Maddy summaryHB 2624 establishes Missouri's "Kinship Infant Care Support Program" to provide financial support to relatives caring for infants under one year old. Eligible caregivers (like grandparents, aunts, uncles, or siblings) receive hourly payments so the infant's parent or parents can work, attend school, or complete job training for at least 20 hours weekly while meeting income limits (≤250% of federal poverty level). The program pays higher hourly rates for families below 150% poverty, requires background checks and initial safety training (including CPR and safe sleep practices), and limits payments to 60 hours weekly per infant (max two infants). Caregivers cannot receive this support if they already get other child care subsidies or foster care payments.

Maddy summaryHJR 115 proposes a constitutional amendment to create a property tax exemption for Missouri disabled veterans and their surviving spouses. It defines a "disabled veteran" as a Missouri resident honorably separated from military service with a 100% VA-certified service-connected disability, and a "homestead" as their primary residence (not exceeding 2.5 acres). The exemption would apply to real property used as a primary home, excluding portions rented for more than six months annually. This amendment requires voter approval in the 2026 general election and would replace the current property tax exemption provisions in Missouri's constitution.

Maddy summaryHB 3097 creates a 100% state tax credit for Missouri taxpayers who donate to eligible nonprofits running youth police initiatives in urban areas. These initiatives focus on building trust between at-risk youth and local police through structured activities and dialogue. The credit, non-refundable but carryable for up to five years, is capped at $500,000 annually per the state. Taxpayers must contribute to a department-listed entity and provide documentation to claim the credit.

Maddy summaryHB 1882 creates a state tax credit allowing taxpayers to claim 100% of contributions made to eligible non-profit organizations running youth police initiatives in urban areas (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau). The credit applies to tax years starting January 1, 2027, and is non-refundable but can be carried forward for up to five years or transferred/sold. The total annual credit amount is capped at $500,000, and the Missouri Department of Public Safety must maintain an annual list of eligible organizations on its website. The program expires automatically six years after enactment unless reauthorized by the legislature.

Maddy summaryHB 3058 creates a public registry for individuals convicted of multiple domestic violence offenses against family or household members. It requires courts to order registration for offenders with at least one prior conviction for such an offense, collecting their name, photo, offense details, and conviction dates while excluding addresses and ID numbers. Offenders pay a $150 registration fee ($100 funds domestic violence prevention programs), and their names are removed from the registry after 5-20 years based on prior convictions. The registry, maintained by Missouri’s Highway Patrol, will be accessible online but expires six years after implementation unless renewed.

Maddy summaryHB 1469 modifies Missouri's property tax relief credit for senior citizens and disabled residents. It clarifies eligibility requirements, requiring claimants to be 65+ (or disabled per the bill's medical definition), Missouri residents for the full year, or surviving spouses receiving Social Security benefits. The bill also specifies that income calculations for the credit must include Social Security benefits (except for 100% disabled veterans) and that property taxes must be paid before filing a tax return. This affects Missouri residents aged 60+ or disabled who own or rent a homestead and qualify for the credit.
