Modifies merchandising practices in regards to price increases of goods during a disaster and reimbursement for those increases after the transaction

This bill updates Missouri's disaster relief laws to help local governments and rural electric cooperatives recover financially after a disaster. It establishes a state disaster fund that the governor can use to provide financial aid to these entities when they face severe burdens that exceed their normal reserves. The law outlines a process where affected groups apply for assistance, which is reviewed by the state emergency management agency before the governor approves and releases the funds. Additionally, the bill allows the state to pay for necessary supplies and services during an emergency and receive reimbursement from local agencies or cooperatives that are able to pay.
