Sen. Nick Schroer

Maddy summaryThis bill stops a specific rule change that would have updated regulations for the state's Virtual Instruction Program. By disapproving the final order, it prevents the proposed amendments to the administrative code from taking effect. The measure is currently being processed by the House Rules and Legislative Oversight Committee. If it passes both chambers, the new rules governing virtual learning options will not be implemented.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates the "Intoxicating Cannabinoid Control Act" to classify synthetic and modified cannabinoids that cause intoxication as marijuana under Missouri law. It requires the Department of Health and Senior Services to regulate these substances using the same strict rules currently applied to natural marijuana, including requirements for licensed facilities, safety testing, and proper labeling. The legislation explicitly excludes non-intoxicating CBD from these regulations while mandating that all intoxicating cannabinoid products be sold only through authorized marijuana businesses. Law enforcement agencies are tasked with enforcing these provisions, and the state declares a compelling interest in preventing children from accessing these products.

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies how liability insurers in Missouri must respond to settlement offers made by injured parties. It establishes specific requirements for a settlement demand to be considered a "reasonable opportunity to settle," such as being sent via certified mail, remaining open for at least 90 days, and including detailed information about injuries, payments, and released parties. To support these demands, claimants must also provide lists of healthcare providers and employers along with authorizations for the insurer to access relevant records. If a settlement offer does not meet these new standards, it cannot be used by an insurer to argue that they reasonably tried to resolve the claim before facing extracontractual damages. Additionally, the bill prevents these rules from applying to settlement demands made within 90 days of a jury trial.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Missouri voters approve changes to the state constitution. It requires that any proposed amendment, whether from the legislature or citizen initiative, pass with a majority of votes statewide and a majority in more than half of the congressional districts to take effect. The bill also sets rules for how these amendments are presented on ballots and published in newspapers before voting. Additionally, it adjusts the timeline for when approved amendments become official, setting the effective date to thirty-one days after the election.

Maddy summaryThis bill asks the U.S. Congress to bring back a rule requiring products to clearly state where they were made. It directly affects American consumers and businesses by mandating that country of origin labels be included on goods. The proposal does not create new laws itself but instead urges lawmakers to pass legislation that would enforce these labeling requirements. Currently, the bill is in the early stages of the legislative process after being reviewed by a committee.
