Maddy summaryHB 1931 repeals existing Missouri laws regarding prevailing wages on public works projects and replaces them with new regulations focused on construction management. The bill defines the roles of construction managers and public owners, establishing that construction managers must coordinate projects without bidding on or performing the actual construction themselves. Under the new rules, contractors must still be awarded through competitive bidding and provide payment and performance bonds, but the specific mandate for them to pay prevailing wages is removed from the text. Additionally, the legislation includes provisions for nonresident employers to meet bonding and registration requirements while maintaining a clause that makes the entire act unenforceable if any part is ruled unconstitutional.

The primary changes clarify how electronic voting systems must operate, specifically requiring that vote-counting equipment be physically isolated from internet networks to prevent unauthorized access. It also redefines several concepts, such as "air-gapped" technology and "established political party," to ensure consistency in how election officials describe and manage voting processes. By modernizing these definitions, the legislation aims to provide clearer guidelines for administering elections while maintaining strict security standards for digital voting tools.
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.
