Maddy summaryHB 1711 establishes Missouri's adoption of the "Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act" to standardize how courts handle subpoenas issued by courts in other states. The bill requires parties seeking discovery in Missouri to submit foreign subpoenas to a local court clerk, who then issues a Missouri-compliant subpoena incorporating the original terms. This applies to all parties, attorneys, and courts involved in cross-state legal proceedings requiring testimony, document production, or property inspections. The law aims to streamline interstate legal cooperation while ensuring subpoenas follow Missouri's civil procedure rules.

Maddy summaryHB 1855 requires Missouri's Department of Health and Senior Services to add alpha-gal syndrome and Lyme disease to its list of noncommunicable diseases needing mandatory reporting. Healthcare providers must report most cases within seven days of a positive lab result, while labs must report alpha-gal syndrome cases using specific IgE test thresholds (≥0.1 IU/mL). The department must verify cases through random sampling and submit annual reports to the CDC on these diseases. This directly affects healthcare providers, laboratories, and public health officials responsible for disease surveillance in Missouri.

Maddy summaryHB 2912 establishes a process for state agencies to hire architecture, engineering, and land surveying firms through pre-approved "master agreements" instead of bidding each project individually. These agreements allow agencies to cover multiple small projects (each under $100,000) over a two-year period, with total annual spending capped at $1 million per agreement. Firms are selected based on qualifications like relevant experience, past performance, and local knowledge, after a public 10-day request for qualifications period. The bill directly affects state agencies needing these services and the firms that provide them, streamlining procurement for routine construction or renovation work.

Maddy summaryHB 1713 would grant circuit courts the authority to dissolve limited liability companies (LLCs) under specific circumstances. The bill allows the attorney general to seek dissolution if an LLC obtained its formation through fraud, conducted illegal business, or abused its powers against public policy. It also permits members to request dissolution if the business cannot operate per its agreement, is abandoned, faces deadlocked management, or has persistent fraud by its leaders. This bill directly affects LLCs operating in the state by establishing clear court-ordered dissolution pathways for serious violations or internal failures. The bill is currently in the prefiled stage and has not yet been enacted.

Maddy summaryHB 3072 modifies workers' compensation benefits for injured workers by updating weekly payment formulas based on injury dates. It sets specific percentage rates (66.67% of average weekly earnings) with caps ranging from 70% to 105% of the state's average weekly wage, depending on when the injury occurred. The bill also establishes a $40 weekly minimum, clarifies that death benefits for permanent total disability do not pass to dependents, and creates special provisions for toxic exposure cases - requiring employers to pay up to 200 weeks of benefits for non-mesothelioma diseases and 312 weeks for mesothelioma (with employer election options until 2038). These changes directly affect workers injured on the job and their dependents in cases of permanent disability or death.

Maddy summaryHB 2480 reinstates Missouri's presidential preference primary by requiring it to be held on the first Tuesday in March during presidential election years. This change repeals existing statutes and establishes new provisions (sections 115.123, 115.755-115.785) to formalize this schedule. The bill directly affects Missouri voters and election authorities by setting a standardized date for the state's presidential primary, replacing previous arrangements. It does not alter voting eligibility or absentee ballot rules for other elections.

Maddy summaryThis resolution grants the Silver Haired Legislature program access to the Missouri House Chamber on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for their session. It permits participants (senior citizens in the program) to use the chamber under specific rules, including no food, drinks, smoking, or banners, and requires respectful conduct and appropriate attire. The resolution does not create new policies but formally authorizes this annual program's use of the chamber for civic engagement.

Maddy summaryHR 3997 is a House Resolution granting the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives permission to use the Missouri House Chamber on July 16, 2026, from 2:00-4:00 p.m. for a mock legislative session. It directly affects youth participants in the Association's Cooperative Youth Conference and Leadership Experience, who will simulate legislative hearings and discussions on bills of interest to them. The resolution specifies strict rules, including prohibiting food, drinks, smoking, banners, or equipment use in the chamber, requiring respectful conduct, and limiting access to the speaker's podium. Participants must dress appropriately and maintain chamber decorum during the event.

Maddy summaryHB 124 removes the December 31, 2025, expiration date for funding dedicated to basic civil legal services for low-income Missourians. The bill ensures ongoing funding from court filing surcharges and other sources, administered by the Missouri Supreme Court, to support legal aid organizations serving eligible individuals under federal income guidelines. These funds continue to be allocated annually to legal services programs for civil cases involving families, domestic violence, the elderly, and Social Security benefits, without being transferred to general state revenue. The change extends the existing funding mechanism, maintaining current eligibility and distribution rules.

Maddy summaryHB 125 allows circuit courts in a county to dissolve a limited liability company (LLC) under specific conditions. The Attorney General can seek dissolution if an LLC was formed through fraud, operates illegally, or harms public policy. Alternatively, members can request dissolution if the LLC’s business is abandoned, management is deadlocked, or there’s persistent fraud or mismanagement by leaders. This directly affects LLCs operating within the county where the court has jurisdiction, giving courts authority to end their legal existence when these issues occur. The bill creates clear, objective criteria for court intervention without altering general LLC formation rules.
