Sen. Mike Moon

Maddy summarySB 117, titled the Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act, proposes a law prohibiting school personnel (such as teachers and staff) from discussing certain topics within school settings. The bill’s core provision directly restricts communication by school employees on unspecified subjects, though the abstract does not detail which topics are affected. As a proposed measure currently in committee review (first read on January 8, 2025), it has not yet been enacted into law. This bill would create a new policy requirement for school staff to avoid specific discussions, with no further details on implementation or enforcement provided in the current context.

Maddy summaryThe bill's abstract is insufficient to create a substantive summary, as it only states the title ("Creates provisions relating to the possession and delivery of abortifacient drugs") without detailing specific restrictions, requirements, or mechanisms. No concrete policy changes or affected parties are described in the provided context. Without access to the bill's full text or specific provisions, a factual summary cannot be generated. The bill is currently in committee referral (S Families, Seniors and Health Committee) but remains pending.

Maddy summaryThis bill (SB 27) has a very limited description in the provided context, stating only that it "modifies provisions relating to taxation." The official abstract offers no specific details about which tax provisions are affected, what changes are proposed, or who might be impacted. As it is currently in the early stages of the legislative process (prefiled, then first read and referred to committee), no concrete policy changes or mechanisms have been described. Without additional details on the specific tax modifications, a substantive summary cannot be provided.

Modifies Senate Rule 96 to provide that, no later than March 1, 2024, the Senate shall provide an audio and video feed of its proceedings on the website of the Senate

Modifies Senate Rule 50 to allow each chair of a standing committee to report no more than three bills, with certain exceptions, when the Senate is on the order of business of reports of standing committees

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies Missouri law to allow courts to issue lifetime protection orders against individuals convicted of dangerous felonies. These orders permanently restrict the defendant from contacting the victim unless the victim dies, the conviction is overturned, or the victim requests early termination. The legislation also mandates that these orders be automatically entered into state and national law enforcement databases to ensure they are recognized during background checks.

Modifies Senate Rule 50 to provide that every senate bill that is pre-filed before the opening day of a regular session shall be referred to a committee within thirty calendar days

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes to eliminate Missouri's corporate income tax by gradually reducing the tax rate over several years. It applies to corporations operating within the state, while excluding out-of-state businesses that already pay taxes under specific interstate commerce laws. The plan starts with a four percent tax rate in 2020, then lowers the rate by 0.8 percentage points annually until the tax is completely removed by 2029.

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies how Missouri calculates individual income tax by adjusting the state's adjusted gross income based on federal tax rules. It requires taxpayers to add back certain federal tax refunds and specific deductions, such as interest on municipal bonds and changes related to net operating losses, while also allowing subtractions for items like interest on U.S. government bonds and specific capital gains. These changes aim to align state tax calculations more closely with federal provisions, affecting both resident and nonresident individuals filing Missouri tax returns. The legislation updates existing statutes to reflect these new inclusion and exclusion criteria for various financial transactions.

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.
