Sen. Brad Hudson

Maddy summaryThis bill's official abstract only states it creates the "Food is Medicine Act" without detailing its provisions. The provided context lacks specific mechanisms, affected groups, or policy changes. It has been prefilled and referred to the Families, Seniors and Health Committee, suggesting a potential focus on healthcare access or nutrition programs, but no concrete details are available. Without further information on the bill's content, a substantive summary cannot be generated.

SS/SB 1000 - Current law establishes the Division of Tourism Supplemental Revenue Fund, and provides for appropriations to the fund from certain tourism-related taxes. This act repeals such language and provides that the fund shall consist of any moneys appropriated by the General Assembly and any gifts, contributions, grants, or bequests from federal, private, or other sources. This act is identical to SB 555 (2025) and SB 1456 (2024), and to a provision in HCS/HB 967 (2025) and SCS/HB 2719 (2024). JOSH NORBERG

SB 1140 - Currently, a civil action for recovery of damages suffered as a result of childhood sexual abuse shall be brought within ten years after the victim reaches the age of twenty-one or within three years of the victim discovering that the injury or illness was caused by childhood sexual abuse, whichever is later. This act provides that a civil action for recovery of damages suffered as a result of childhood sexual abuse or tortious conduct that caused the victim to be a victim of childhood sexual abuse may be commenced at any time. This act is identical to a provision in SB 1707 (2026) and is substantially similar to SB 589 (2025), HB 883 (2025), HB 1132 (2025), a provision in SB 1063 (2024), in SB 1092 (2024), SB 416 (2023), and is similar to a provision in SS/HCS/HBs 1664, 1610, 1645 & 2182 (2026), HB 114 (2025), SB 747 (2025), a provision in HCS/HB 367 (2023), and in HB 1139 (2023).

Maddy summarySB 1644 bans specific restrictive clauses in health care provider network contracts, directly affecting health insurance plans (as "general contracting entities") and health care providers. It prohibits "anti-steering" clauses (limiting provider recommendations), "anti-tiering" clauses (restricting network structure), "gag" clauses (hiding price/quality data), and "most-favored-nation" clauses (forcing rate parity). Existing contracts containing these clauses are void and unenforceable, while other contract terms remain valid. The bill also requires insurers to act in enrollees' best interest when designing networks or offering incentives, improving price transparency and choice for patients.

Maddy summarySB 1645 exempts rental fees for campsites, buildings, and amenities at campgrounds from Missouri's state and local sales taxes. The bill defines a "campground" as any property with five or more campsites used for recreation, travel, or seasonal stays, including RV parks. This change directly affects campground operators, who would no longer collect or pay sales tax on these rental charges. The exemption applies to fees under existing tax laws (sections 144.010-144.525 and local sales tax rules), adding to other current tax exemptions. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Economic and Workforce Development Committee.

Maddy summaryThe provided context does not include sufficient details about the specific modifications to the income tax deduction for farmers in SB 1291. The bill's title and abstract only state it "modifies provisions" without describing what changes are proposed, who is affected, or how the deduction would be altered. Without concrete policy language or provisions in the available information, a factual summary of its mechanisms or impact cannot be created. This appears to be a procedural bill awaiting further legislative action, as noted by its prefiling and first reading dates.

Maddy summarySB 1517 is a bill that modifies property tax provisions, though the provided context does not specify the exact changes or affected groups. The bill is currently in the early stages of review, having had its first reading on January 7, 2026, and being referred to a committee for a hearing scheduled for February 11, 2026. No specific mechanisms, provisions, or policy changes are described in the available abstract or summary. As the bill's details are not provided, a substantive summary of its effects cannot be generated. This appears to be a procedural step in the legislative process without concrete policy language disclosed at this stage.

Maddy summarySJR 93 proposes a constitutional amendment to Missouri's Constitution, allowing civil lawsuits for childhood sexual abuse to be filed retroactively. It would permit retrospective civil claims against abusers for victims under 18, removing time limits that would otherwise bar such cases. This change would directly affect survivors of childhood sexual abuse by enabling them to pursue civil action for past incidents that were previously time-barred under Missouri law. The amendment would require voter approval before taking effect.

Maddy summaryBased solely on the provided context, a substantive summary cannot be generated. The bill's title and abstract ("Modifies provisions relating to the assessment of certain broadband communications equipment") are circular and do not specify what changes are proposed, who is affected, or the key mechanisms. No concrete policy details, affected entities, or specific assessment modifications are described in the available information. The bill is currently in early stages (prefiled, first reading), but the abstract lacks the necessary detail to outline its actual provisions.

Maddy summarySB 1506 would create criminal and civil liability for altering sexual depictions of identifiable people. The bill directly affects individuals whose images are altered without consent, particularly in cases involving non-consensual intimate imagery. However, the provided context does not specify key mechanisms, such as what constitutes "altered" depictions, the types of liability (e.g., penalties, damages), or exceptions. No concrete policy details or specific provisions are described in the available information. The bill is currently in early stages (prefiled and referred to committee) with no further action documented.
