SCS/SBs 1164 & 1476 - This act modifies provisions relating to adult cabaret performances. ADULT CABARET PERFORMANCE DEFINITION (67.2540) This act defines "adult cabaret performance" in regards to provisions relating to restrictions on sexually oriented businesses. This provision is identical to a provision contained in HB 1702 (2026) and HB 2407 (2026). SEXUALLY ORIENTED BILLBOARDS (226.531) This act adds the definition of "adult cabaret performance" in regards to sexually oriented billboards. The definition of "sexually oriented business" is modified to include any business that offers an adult cabaret performance. This provision is identical to a provision contained in HB 1702 (2026) and HB 2407 (2026). CIVIL ACTIONS FOR ADULT CABARET PERFORMANCES (SECTION 537.048) This act establishes a civil action brought by a resident of a city, town, or village where an adult cabaret performance is conducted against an adult cabaret performer whose adult cabaret performance contains actions or material that, proven by a preponderance of the evidence, appeal to a prurient interest in sex and occur on public property or in a location that could be viewed by a person under the age of 18. The court may award damages or injunctive relief as it deems appropriate, but no damages, except for nominal damages, shall be awarded in more than one action arising out of a single occurrence. This provision is identical to a provision in SCS/SB 295 (2025) and in SCS/HCS/HB 1464 (2025). OFFENSE OF ENGAGING IN AN ADULT CABARET (SECTION 573.010 & 573.520) This act creates the offense of engaging in an adult cabaret performance if such performance is on public property or in a location where the performance could be viewed by a person who is not an adult. Such offense shall be a class A misdemeanor for the first offense and a class E felony for any subsequent offense. These provisions are identical to provisions in HB 1702 (2026), HB 2407 (2026), SCS/SB 295 (2025), are substantially similar to provisions in SB 764 (2025) and in SCS/HCS/SB 1464 (2025), and are similar to provisions in HB 722 (2025), SB 949 (2024), in HB 1650 (2024), in HB 1849 (2024), in HB 2300 (2024), in HCS/HB 494 (2023), and SB 693 (2023).

Maddy summarySB 1616 restricts access to Missouri's SNAP food assistance and MO HealthNet medical benefits for non-U.S. citizens, requiring applicants to prove citizenship, national status, or specific federal immigration eligibility. It mandates documentary proof (like driver's license documents or federal status verification) at application, with temporary benefits allowed via sworn affidavit for up to 90 days or until citizenship documentation is provided. The bill explicitly excludes emergency medical care, prenatal services, children's benefits (when applied for by a citizen parent), and certain other non-cash aid like unemployment or postsecondary education. It also requires state agencies to verify immigration status through federal systems like DHS's SAVE program but prohibits denying benefits based solely on data matching.
Maddy summaryBased solely on the provided context, a detailed summary of SB 1263 cannot be generated. The official abstract only repeats the bill's title ("Establishes 'Colton's Law' relating to certain pediatric disorders") without describing its specific provisions, mechanisms, or affected parties. No additional details about the law's requirements, the pediatric disorders it addresses, or who it would directly impact are included in the summary or actions provided. The bill's status (prefiled and first reading) indicates it is early in the legislative process but offers no insight into its content. Without further details in the context, a substantive summary cannot be created.
Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits state taxation of unrealized gains, meaning it would prevent taxes on increases in the value of assets (like stocks or property) before those assets are sold. It directly affects taxpayers who hold appreciating assets but haven't yet converted them to cash. The bill establishes a clear rule that unrealized gains cannot be subject to state tax, without specifying implementation details or exceptions. As a procedural measure, it focuses on defining a tax boundary rather than creating new programs or altering existing tax structures.
SB 1617 - This act establishes the "Accountability for Low-Earning Outcome Degrees in Higher Education Act of 2026", which requires the Coordinating Board for Higher Education to adopt rules prohibiting state funds from being allocated or expended for academic degree programs that satisfy the definition of a low-earning outcome program under federal law. The restricted funding categories include, but are not limited to, student financial aid, base operational funding, separately appropriated aid or grants, and capital or facilities funding. The Coordinating Board for Higher Education shall annually review updated federal determinations of low-earning outcome programs and adopt rules in accordance with the act. Additionally, the Coordinating Board for Higher Education shall submit an annual and publicly available report to the General Assembly documenting the programs prohibited from receiving state aid, the enforcement of such prohibitions, and the estimated fiscal impact due to the prohibitions.

Maddy summarySB 1370 establishes new rules allowing adults (18+) to enroll in virtual school courses and programs. The bill directly affects adult learners seeking flexible, remote education options. It requires school districts to create clear eligibility criteria and enrollment processes for adult students in virtual programs. However, the provided abstract does not specify details about the eligibility criteria, enrollment procedures, or any specific requirements for school districts. Without additional context or bill text, a more detailed summary cannot be provided.
Maddy summarySB 949 is a very new bill (prefiled in 2025, first read in 2026) that would create a new criminal offense called "judicial malfeasance." The provided context does not include any details about what specific actions would constitute this offense, who would be affected (e.g., judges, court staff), or how it would be enforced. Since the official abstract only states the bill's title without describing its provisions, a substantive summary cannot be generated from the available information.
SB 1404 - This act requires school districts and charter schools to notify parents of enrolled students if the school district or charter school uses, has used in the past 12 months, or in the future intends to use a tutoring program or service that is at least 50% owned by entities outside the United States. The notification shall disclose the majority owner of the tutoring program or service and indicate whether such owner is designated as a foreign adversary of the United States under federal regulations as of the first day of the school year in which the notice is sent to parents. This act is identical to SB 796 (2025) and similar to HB 2875 (2026) and HCS/HB 1446 (2025). OLIVIA SHANNON
Maddy summaryBased on the provided context, there is insufficient detail to create a substantive summary of SB 1330. The bill's title ("Modifies provisions relating to elections") and abstract offer no specific policy changes, affected groups, or mechanisms. Without access to the bill's full text or detailed provisions (e.g., voter ID requirements, ballot access rules, or election administration changes), any summary would require speculation. The recent prefiled status (2025-12-01) and first reading (2026-01-07) indicate early-stage legislative activity but do not clarify the bill's content. A factual summary cannot be generated without additional details.
Maddy summaryBased on the provided context, SB 858's official abstract ("Modifies provisions relating to additional protections to bear arms") is too vague to summarize concretely. The abstract does not specify *what* provisions are modified, *how* protections would change, or *who* would be directly affected. Without additional bill text or specific policy details in the context, a factual summary of its mechanisms, key provisions, or concrete policy changes cannot be generated. The bill's current status (prefiled, committee hearing) does not clarify its content.
