Maddy summaryThis bill requires property owners, sellers, and landlords to inform buyers or tenants in writing if they know a property has been contaminated with radioactive or hazardous materials. Disclosure is only mandatory if the owner has received a written or electronic report from a government agency confirming the contamination. If a government agency requests permission to test a property for such hazards, the owner must also notify current or prospective occupants in writing. Additionally, the bill mandates that government agencies send written notice to residents within thirty days if they discover contamination on a residential property. Failure to make these required disclosures when knowledge exists could result in a class A misdemeanor charge for the property owner.

Maddy summaryHB 1685 updates state laws by explicitly classifying high-capacity firearm magazines as illegal to possess, manufacture, or sell. The bill defines these magazines as devices that hold or can be easily converted to hold more than ten rounds of ammunition. Anyone found in violation of this new provision faces a class D felony charge, while other listed dangerous items like machine guns and silencers carry similar penalties. The law includes specific exceptions for law enforcement, military personnel, and legitimate commercial or industrial uses.
Maddy summaryHB 1686 establishes the Missouri Voter Fraud Protection Act, which defines specific actions like voting multiple times or paying others to register as serious election offenses while clarifying that system errors do not constitute crimes unless false information was knowingly provided. The bill also implements automatic voter registration by requiring state agencies such as the Department of Revenue and the Department of Social Services to share citizen data with the Secretary of State when individuals apply for services. Under this process, eligible citizens will be automatically registered to vote unless they explicitly decline within forty-five days of receiving a notification letter. The legislation mandates that participating agencies collect specific personal details to facilitate this registration and includes provisions ensuring that a person's decision to register or not does not affect their access to government services.
Maddy summaryThis bill requires health insurance plans covering more than 25 employees to include fertility treatments if they already offer pregnancy-related benefits. Specifically, plans must cover various procedures, such as in vitro fertilization and artificial insemination, provided the patient has tried less costly options, has not had four failed egg retrievals, and receives care at accredited medical facilities. The law includes an exception for religious institutions or organizations that object to these procedures based on their moral or religious beliefs.
Maddy summaryThis bill establishes rules for health insurance plans in the state regarding prescription drug coverage starting January 1, 2025. It prohibits insurers from forcing patients to switch to a different drug deemed more appropriate by the insurance company unless the patient's doctor provides written approval and the change benefits the patient's health. The law explicitly allows for the substitution of interchangeable biological products and does not apply to drugs already subject to step therapy protocols.
Maddy summaryThis bill requires health insurance plans and benefit providers in Missouri to cover in vitro fertilization (IVF) for policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2025. The coverage must include services performed at medical facilities that meet specific guidelines set by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists or the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. The law explicitly excludes various types of supplemental insurance, such as accident-only policies, Medicare supplements, and long-term care plans, from this requirement.
Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment to Missouri that would affirm citizens' rights to own and carry firearms for self-defense while allowing local governments to regulate them. Under the new rules, counties and cities like St. Louis and Kansas City could create their own ordinances to manage firearm possession, transfers, and carrying, provided they limit permit fees to actual costs and keep permits valid for no more than five years. The amendment explicitly states that these rights cannot be questioned but also clarifies that convicted violent felons and individuals deemed dangerous due to mental health issues remain prohibited from owning guns. Local regulations must also exempt law enforcement officers, judges, and licensed security guards, and any penalties for violating these local rules would be capped at a $1,000 fine or one year in jail.
