Maddy summarySB 1084 modifies how Missouri allocates state funds to regional planning commissions. It requires a 50-50 match: for every $1 the state provides, local governments must contribute $1. The bill sets specific annual funding caps, limiting East-West Gateway and Mid-America Regional Councils to $130,000 each, and most other commissions to $50,000 each. Starting July 1, 2026, these caps will automatically adjust annually based on the consumer price index to account for inflation. This bill directly affects 18 regional planning commissions across Missouri by changing their funding structure and maximum allowable grants.

Maddy summarySB 1009 creates Missouri's "Clean Water Commission" to oversee water quality regulations, replacing the previous structure. The commission will consist of seven governor-appointed members (with Senate approval), requiring balanced political representation (max four from one party), expertise in conservation/water contaminants, and specific knowledge of agriculture, industry, mining, or wastewater treatment needs. Members must avoid conflicts of interest with permit holders and demonstrate water quality expertise. The commission must hold public meetings, maintain a four-member quorum, and operate under defined rules for conflicts of interest. This bill directly affects state water pollution regulation and the entities subject to its oversight.

SB 1588 - This act modifies provisions relating to protections against document fraud. OFFENSE OF FILING FALSE DOCUMENTS (SECTIONS 59.120 & 570.095) Each recorder of deeds shall display a notice, as described in the act, relating to the offense of filing false documents. The recorder of deeds may also post information in the office or online regarding the petition process for filings or records believed to be fraudulent, false, misleading, or forged or that contains materially false information.

The offense of filing false documents shall be a class B felony, rather than a class C felony, in certain cases where the defendant has previously been found guilty of the offense or when the victim or named party is certain individuals described in the act. An owner of an interest in real property that has been subject to a filing or record that is believed to be fraudulent, false, misleading, or forged or that contains materially false information may petition for judicial review under current law. These provisions are identical to a provisions in HCS/HB 2103 (2026). NOTARIES (SECTIONS 486.735 & 578.700) This act provides that a vendor or manufacturer of notary seals in Missouri who fails to comply with the requirements required under current law shall be subject to a fine of $10,000, instead of $1,000, for each violation. This act establishes that a notary shall be guilty of a class E felony, instead of a misdemeanor, for executing a false notarial certificate containing information known or believed by the notary to be false. Furthermore, it shall be a class E felony, rather than a misdemeanor, for any person to knowingly: (1) Act as or otherwise impersonate a notary if the person is not a notary; (2) Obtain, conceal, deface, or destroy the seal, journal, or official records of a notary; (3) Solicit, coerce, or in any way influence a notary to commit official misconduct; or (4) Obtain, conceal, damage, or destroy the coding, disk, certificate, card, token, program, software, or hardware that is intended exclusively to enable an electronic notary public to produce a registered electronic signature, notary seal, or single element combining the required features of an electronic signature and notary seal. This act additionally provides that it shall be a class E felony for any person who is not a notary to knowingly present false information to obtain or attempt to obtain a notary public's seal from a manufacturer. These provisions are identical to provisions in HCS/HB 2103 (2026). KATIE O'BRIEN

Maddy summarySB 1008 allows Missouri's Attorney General to appoint both commissioned and noncommissioned investigators to support their office. Commissioned investigators receive peace officer authority (including arrest powers) after taking an oath and receiving a certificate, while noncommissioned investigators do not. These investigators serve at the Attorney General's discretion and are paid using state or federal funds. The bill directly affects the Attorney General's office (by expanding hiring authority), the appointed investigators (defining their roles and powers), and law enforcement agencies (which may request commissioned investigators' assistance).

Maddy summaryThe provided context does not include sufficient details about SB 1526's specific provisions, affected parties, or mechanisms to create a factual summary. The bill's title and abstract only state it repeals "provisions relating to asbestos testing reports" without describing what those provisions were or who they impacted. No concrete policy changes, key mechanisms, or affected entities are specified in the given information. Since the context lacks essential details about the bill's content, a compliant summary cannot be generated.

It is currently in early legislative stages (first read January 8, 2026; referred to committee February 5, 2026).

Maddy summaryThe provided context does not include sufficient details about SB 1528's specific provisions, mechanisms, or policy changes. The official abstract only states it "modifies provisions relating to health care providers in long-term care facilities" without clarifying what aspects are being altered (e.g., licensing, staffing requirements, oversight).

Without additional legislative text or summary details, a factual policy summary cannot be generated.

Maddy summarySB 1589 is a procedural bill that repeals a specific provision related to a clean water fee. The official abstract states it eliminates this fee-related provision without specifying the exact fee or its prior scope. As a repeal bill, it does not create new obligations but removes an existing one. The bill is currently in the committee referral stage (referred to the Agriculture Committee on February 5, 2026). The context provided does not include details about the repealed fee's structure, affected entities, or specific provisions, so a more detailed summary cannot be generated.

SB 1567 - This act establishes the "Missouri Integrated Safe Driving Program" to provide standardized driver education instruction and training for pupils in grades 9-12. The program shall include instruction on the safe operation of motor vehicles, the rules of the road, and applicable motor vehicle laws, including Missouri's driver licensing system. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) shall receive and review sample instructional lessons from recognized statewide professional organizations and school districts and shall make approved sample lessons available to school districts and charter schools. Beginning with the 2027–28 school year, school districts and charter schools may implement a plan adopting the program and may utilize the sample lessons provided by DESE. The program shall promote knowledge, attitudes, habits, and skills necessary for safe driving; address distracted driving as a significant traffic safety concern; explain law enforcement procedures during traffic stops; and provide current data regarding risky driving behaviors. Districts may require pupil participation in program-related lessons within existing courses, as provided in the act. The program shall not require pupils to physically operate a motor vehicle; nor shall the program be construed to prohibit school districts or charter schools from offering other elective driver education courses. This act is substantially similar to HB 2195 (2026). OLIVIA SHANNON
