Primary HB 1116
Passed · Missouri House · Lead sponsor
Allows real property owners building a fence to enter an adjoining property up to ten feet without liability for trespassing

Maddy summaryHB 1116 allows property owners who keep animals to enter adjacent land up to ten feet for constructing, maintaining, or repairing division fences enclosing animal enclosures. Owners or their contractors are not liable for trespass during this work, but remain responsible for crop damage caused by entry. The bill specifically permits clearing boundary vegetation (like trees or brush) directly on the property line without liability, while excluding utility companies, railroads, and accredited zoos from its provisions. It does not permit entering buildings on neighboring properties.

Primary HB 440
In committee · Missouri House · Lead sponsor
Modifies and creates new provisions relating to utilities

Maddy summaryHB 440 modifies tax assessments for utility companies and solar energy projects. It sets a $2,500 per megawatt tax for solar electricity projects (effective 2026) and classifies associated solar land as commercial property from 2026. Telephone companies gain a one-time choice between two tax assessment methods, with school districts allowed to impose fees to offset revenue losses if companies select the new method. The bill directly affects solar developers, telephone companies, and school districts managing utility tax revenue.

Primary HB 1404
In committee · Missouri House · Lead sponsor
Modifies provisions relating to birthing centers

Maddy summaryHB 1404 defines "birthing center" as a facility primarily for childbirth that does not allow overnight stays (max 23 hours). It exempts birthing centers from certain licensing requirements that apply to ambulatory surgical centers, such as needing hospital transfer agreements or physician privileges at local hospitals. The bill clarifies regulatory distinctions between birthing centers and surgical facilities by adding specific definitions to health codes. This change directly affects birthing centers seeking state licensing and their operational requirements under Missouri law. The bill is currently in committee referral (Health and Mental Health) after initial introduction.

Primary HB 2163
In committee · Missouri House · Lead sponsor
Modifies provisions relating to animals

Maddy summaryHB 2163 changes how local governments in the state can regulate dogs by banning breed-specific restrictions while allowing cities and counties to continue enforcing rules based on a dog's behavior. The bill gives the state authority over dog breed control, requiring any existing local laws that target specific breeds to be updated by February 28, 2025, or they will become unenforceable. Additionally, the legislation strengthens protocols for handling animal bites by mandating immediate reporting to health officials and outlining the owner's responsibility to cover all testing and treatment costs for both the animal and any exposed person.
