Sen. Maggie Nurrenbern

Maddy summaryThis bill's abstract is too vague to summarize meaningfully. The title and abstract only state it modifies "provisions relating to dissolution of marriage or legal separation and pregnancy status" without specifying *what* changes are proposed or *how* they affect people. Without details on the actual legislative text or concrete policy changes (e.g., new requirements, exceptions, or definitions), no accurate summary of its mechanisms or direct impacts can be provided. The bill is currently in committee referral with no further details available in the context.

Maddy summaryThe provided context does not include specific details about SB 91's actual provisions or policy changes. The bill's title and abstract only state it "modifies provisions relating to unlawful possession of firearms" without describing what those modifications entail. Without concrete information on the changes to firearm possession laws, key mechanisms, or affected parties, a substantive summary cannot be created. The bill is currently in committee referral stage (Transportation, Infrastructure and Public Safety Committee) but no specific policy content is provided.

Maddy summarySB 498 was prefaced on December 11, 2024, but withdrawn on January 2, 2025, before any substantive legislative action. The bill's official abstract states "BILL WITHDRAWN," indicating it was formally withdrawn without progressing to committee review or floor debate. No policy provisions, mechanisms, or affected parties were established, as the bill was withdrawn prior to introduction. This withdrawal means the bill never became a formal proposal for consideration. No summary of policy changes is possible, as the bill was withdrawn before any content could be introduced.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a cap on the out-of-pocket costs for prescription insulin drugs, limiting enrollee expenses to a maximum of thirty dollars per thirty-day supply. It requires insurance plans to calculate these costs based on a drug price that has been reduced by at least the full amount of any rebates received from manufacturers or pharmacies. While the law mandates this rebate reduction for pricing calculations, it explicitly protects the specific details of these financial arrangements from public disclosure by classifying them as trade secrets. The provisions apply to health benefit plans that are issued, delivered, or renewed on or after January 1, 2025.

Maddy summaryThis bill updates Missouri laws regarding the sale and distribution of tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, and newer items like nicotine liquids and vapor products. It establishes specific definitions for terms such as "alternative nicotine product" and "nicotine liquid container" to clarify which items are regulated. The legislation also mandates that the state's alcohol and tobacco control division submit annual reports starting in 2003 to track how these rules reduce tobacco use among people under twenty-one and to monitor enforcement efforts.

Maddy summaryHB 1581 prohibits the use of corporal punishment and spanking in all school districts and requires these districts to distribute their updated discipline policies to students and parents at the start of each school year. The bill mandates that school administrators report specific serious crimes, such as murder, assault, and drug offenses, to law enforcement and notify teachers and staff with a "need to know" about acts of school violence. Additionally, the law requires that students suspended for violent or drug-related offenses be barred from being within one thousand feet of any school property unless they are directly supervised by an adult or live within that distance. School employees must also receive annual training on the new discipline policies and procedures for handling student violence.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes to reduce the sales tax on feminine hygiene products and diapers to a rate no higher than that applied to food. It defines these items specifically as absorbent garments for infants and toddlers, and products such as tampons, pads, liners, and cups. Additionally, the legislation authorizes state agencies to apply for a federal waiver that would allow recipients of SNAP and WIC benefits to use their assistance to purchase these essential items. If the waiver is approved, the relevant departments would update their rules to implement these changes.

Maddy summaryThis bill updates Missouri laws regarding orders of protection to clarify that these legal orders are designed to safeguard individuals from domestic violence, stalking, or sexual assault. It allows courts to issue comprehensive orders that stop the accused person from contacting the victim, entering their home, or transferring shared property, while also prohibiting mutual orders unless both parties voluntarily file petitions. Additionally, the legislation expands the court's ability to issue these orders alongside decisions on child custody, support, and the payment of medical bills or shelter fees. By repealing and replacing specific sections of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, the bill aims to provide clearer and more robust protections for victims of abuse.

Maddy summaryThis bill allows public officials and candidates in Missouri to use campaign funds to pay for childcare costs that are directly caused by campaigning or performing official duties. The law specifically permits these expenses only if they would not have occurred without the candidate's or official's activities and excludes payments to anyone in the candidate's own household. By adding this category to the list of allowable uses, the legislation expands how campaign money can be spent while maintaining rules that prevent personal use of contributions.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits schools in Missouri, including public, charter, and participating private institutions, from hiring collection agencies to recover unpaid student meal fees. It defines "meal debt" as money owed for meals provided by the school and specifies that no school may engage a third-party agency to collect these debts. The law aims to restrict how schools handle financial obligations related to school nutrition programs by banning the use of external debt collectors.
