Maddy summarySB 1350 requires health insurance plans in Missouri to cover non-opioid medications for acute pain without restrictions, effective January 1, 2027. It directly affects enrollees (insurance policyholders) prescribed non-opioid drugs for pain expected to last 30 days or less. The bill prohibits insurers from denying coverage for these medications, forcing patients to try opioids first, or charging higher out-of-pocket costs for non-opioid drugs compared to opioids. This applies to all health benefit plans issued or renewed after the effective date, aiming to expand access to non-opioid pain treatment options.

Maddy summarySB 1326 would permanently adopt daylight saving time (DST) as Missouri's standard time, eliminating the biannual clock changes. The bill reclassifies current DST as "standard time," exempting Missouri from federal rules requiring seasonal time shifts under 15 U.S.C. § 260a. Missouri would stop switching clocks after the bill's effective date, keeping DST year-round. The state would align with federal time rules if the federal government later changes its DST policy. This directly affects all Missouri residents and businesses by changing the state's timekeeping practice.

Maddy summarySB 1295 establishes a $1,000 filing fee for initiative petitions in Missouri when a petitioner files multiple times on the same subject since the last general election. This fee applies only to repeat filings on the same issue, not to first-time petitions on a subject. The bill replaces previous rules with specific requirements for petition formatting, including uniform page size and detailed text formatting that must show deletions in brackets and new text underlined. First-time petitioners on a specific subject are exempt from the fee. The measure directly affects individuals or groups seeking to place initiatives on the ballot multiple times for the same issue.

Maddy summarySB 1369 allows motorcycle operators to pass vehicles in the same lane or between lanes at speeds no more than 10 mph over traffic flow and not exceeding 25 mph. It explicitly prohibits "lane splitting" (riding between fast-moving vehicles) while permitting "lane filtering" (riding between stopped or slow-moving vehicles). The bill also makes it a minor violation to intentionally impede motorcycles and requires the Missouri Highway Patrol to develop safety guidelines for lane filtering. This directly affects motorcycle riders and other drivers in Missouri by establishing specific operational rules and safety expectations.

Maddy summarySB 1368 prohibits all weather modification activities in Missouri, defined as releasing chemicals or devices into the atmosphere to alter weather, climate, or sunlight. It makes violations a class E felony and imposes civil penalties up to $200,000. The bill requires airports to report aircraft equipped for potential weather modification starting in 2027 and establishes a public reporting system for violations. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources enforces the law, collects penalties into a conservation fund, and can seek court orders for violations.

SB 1293 - This act modifies several provisions relating to property taxes. TAXATION BALLOT LANGUAGE This act requires any ballot measure seeking to add, change, or modify a tax on real property to express the effect of the proposed change within the ballot language in terms of the change in dollars owed per $100,000 of a property's market valuation. (Section 137.067) This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/SCS/SB 163 (2025), HCS/HB 119 (2025), HCS/HB 517 (2025), HCS/HB 531 (2025), HB 660 (2025), HCS/HB 2058 (2024), HCS/HB 1517 (2024), HCS/HB 2140 (2024), CCS/HS/HCS/SS#2/SCS/SB 96 (2023), and HCS/SS#3/SCS/SB 131 (2023). CALCULATION AND REVISION OF PROPERTY TAX LEVIES Current law provides for the calculation of revenue derived from single tax rates versus tax rates for each class and subclass of property. This act repeals such language. (Section 137.073.2, 137.079, and section 137.115) Current law provides that the aggregate increase in valuation of personal property shall be the new construction and improvements factor for the purposes of calculating property tax rates. This act eliminates the new construction and improvements factor for personal property. (Section 137.073.4(1)) This act requires that all tax levy increases applied to any real and personal property shall be applied to each subclass of property equally. (Section 137.073.5(1)) This act requires that if the voters in a political subdivision approve an increase to the tax rate ceiling prior to the expiration of a previously approved temporary levy increase, the new tax rate ceiling shall remain in effect only until such time as the temporary levy increase expires under the terms originally approved by a vote of the people, at which time the tax rate ceiling shall be decreased by the amount of the temporary levy increase. If, prior to the expiration of a temporary levy increase, voters are asked to approve an additional permanent levy increase, voters shall be submitted ballot language that clearly indicates that if the permanent levy increase is approved, the temporary levy shall be made permanent. (Section 137.073.5(3)) This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/HB 119 (2025), HB 660 (2025), HB 1497 (2025), HCS/HB 2058 (2024), HCS/HB 1517 (2024), HCS/HB 2140 (2024), CCS/HS/HCS/SS#2/SCS/SB 96 (2023), and HCS/SS#3/SCS/SB 131 (2023), and is substantially similar to SB 880 (2018) and SB 357 (2017). Current law authorizes the governing body of a political subdivision to levy a tax rate lower than its tax rate ceiling, and to subsequently increase such lowered rate to the tax rate ceiling without voter approval. This act provides that such increase back to the tax rate ceiling shall be made in the immediately following general reassessment. (Section 137.073.5(4)) This provision is identical to a provision in HB 660 (2025) and HB 783 (2025). This act provides that, if the total assessed valuation in a political subdivision decreases in the tax year immediately following a tax year in which the voters approved an increase to the tax rate ceiling, such political subdivision may increase its levy such that the revenue received equals the amount that would have been received from the increased rate of levy had there been no decrease in the total assessed valuation. (Section 137.073.5(6)) This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/HB 119 (2025), HB 660 (2025), HB 1497 (2025), HCS/HB 2058 (2024), HCS/HB 1517 (2024), and HCS/HB 2140 (2024). JOSH NORBERG

SB 1011 - This act provides that certain international organizations or bodies, such as the World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum, shall have no jurisdiction or power within the state of Missouri. No rule, regulation, policy, or mandate of any kind from such organizations shall be enforced or implemented by any state or local public body. This act creates the "No Shari'a Act". No court shall enforce a judgment, decree, or arbitration decision if it relies on Shari'a or any foreign law that violates the constitutional rights of any party. A contract provision choosing foreign law shall be valid unless enforcement would result in a violation of constitutional rights. Finally, in family law matters, no court shall apply or enforce foreign law if inconsistent with fundamental rights or public policy. JIM ERTLE
