Maddy summaryHB 3333 requires mobile app providers in Missouri offering subscription services with automatic renewal to let customers cancel those subscriptions directly through the app. It mandates a clear, visible link or button for termination within the app itself, directly affecting app developers using auto-renewal models. Violations would be enforced under Missouri’s existing Merchandising Practices Act, with the Attorney General handling compliance and rulemaking. The bill focuses on giving consumers straightforward in-app cancellation options without changing broader subscription terms.

Maddy summaryHB 2186 changes how first-degree murder trials are conducted when the death penalty is an option. It requires a two-stage trial: first to determine guilt, then to decide punishment. If the defendant is found guilty of first-degree murder without a death penalty waiver, the second stage focuses solely on sentencing, with life imprisonment without parole mandated if the court finds intellectual disability, no aggravating circumstances, or sufficient mitigating evidence outweighing aggravation. This bill affects defendants charged with first-degree murder in cases where the death penalty is sought, applying only to offenses committed on or after August 28, 2001.

Maddy summaryHB 2187 requires ammunition sellers to verify a buyer's age using photo identification containing the purchaser's date of birth. This applies directly to retailers selling ammunition and affects customers purchasing it. The bill mandates that sellers confirm the buyer meets the legal age requirement before completing a sale. It does not specify the exact age threshold but focuses on the verification process for all ammunition transactions.

Maddy summaryHB 2185 modifies eligibility rules for Missouri's Empowerment Scholarship Accounts Program by updating definitions in the law. It defines a "qualified student" as either a child with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) under federal special education law, or an elementary/secondary student from a household earning ≤300% of the income standard for free/reduced lunch who recently attended public school, is kindergarten-ready, or is a sibling of a current scholarship recipient. The bill directly affects Missouri students seeking these scholarships to attend approved schools, including private schools, charter schools, public schools, or early childhood centers. It does not change scholarship amounts or funding but clarifies who qualifies under the program's current structure. The bill is currently in early legislative stages (prefiled and read twice in 2026).

Maddy summaryHB 2184 prohibits noncompete clauses in employment contracts between healthcare employers and licensed physicians, making any clause that restricts a physician’s ability to practice medicine in a specific geographic area after leaving a job unenforceable. This directly affects physicians who might otherwise face restrictions on where they can work following employment termination. The bill specifically bans these geographic and time-based restrictions while leaving other contract terms valid. It does not alter other employment terms but ensures physicians cannot be barred from practicing in a region after their employment ends.

Maddy summaryHB 2188, the "Marilyn Teitelbaum Death with Dignity Act," would allow terminally ill adult residents of the state to request medication to end their lives under strict conditions. It requires a qualified patient (18+ with a medically confirmed terminal illness expected to cause death within six months) to receive certification from two physicians, undergo counseling, and provide a written request witnessed by non-conflicted individuals. Key provisions mandate that physicians must ensure patients make an informed decision after discussing their diagnosis, prognosis, risks, medication effects, and alternatives like hospice care. The bill also requires patients to demonstrate competency, avoid coercion, and notify next of kin before obtaining the prescription. This legislation has been prefaced and read for first and second time in the House as of early 2026.

Maddy summaryHB 2183 bans the use of seclusion (involuntary confinement of a student alone in a room they cannot leave) in public schools, charter schools, and publicly contracted private providers, except when there is imminent danger of physical harm to the student or others. The bill also prohibits specific dangerous restraint techniques, such as those obstructing breathing, causing pain, restricting communication, or compressing the body. Schools must adopt written policies by 2022 defining restraint and seclusion, requiring annual staff training, and mandating detailed incident reports for every use, including documentation of time, location, methods, and injuries. These policies must ensure students are removed from seclusion or restraint as soon as the danger passes and prohibit all non-essential use.

Maddy summaryHB 2393 requires Missouri public schools and postsecondary institutions to treat antisemitic harassment or discrimination identically to racial discrimination. It mandates that schools integrate the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism into their codes of conduct, prohibiting conduct that creates a hostile environment for Jewish students or staff. The bill explicitly states that criticism of Israel similar to criticism of other countries is not antisemitic and clarifies that the law does not infringe on First Amendment rights or conflict with existing federal/state discrimination laws. This directly affects all public educational institutions in Missouri by establishing new requirements for addressing antisemitism under their conduct policies.

Maddy summaryHB 2583 requires Missouri's Department of Transportation to study increasing interstate speed limits to 75 mph on Missouri's designated interstate highways. The study must be completed by August 28, 2028, and report findings to the governor, House Speaker, and Senate President Pro Tempore, including potential solutions for any safety concerns identified. This bill directly affects the state's transportation agency and future speed limit decisions on interstate roads. It is a procedural study bill with no immediate policy change, focusing solely on gathering data before any potential speed limit adjustment.

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.
