HB 3004 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates a provision relating to the sale of wood products

HB 3004 prohibits businesses from advertising or selling products as made with specific wood species (like oak or maple) if the product's visible wood surface isn't actually that wood. It directly affects retailers and manufacturers selling wood products, requiring their decorative surfaces to match advertised wood types. The bill gives the Department of Agriculture authority to create rules for enforcement, subject to existing state regulatory procedures. This aims to prevent misleading marketing by ensuring wood product claims accurately reflect the material used.

MINOR

The bill was revised from a House version to a Senate Committee Substitute, which updated the title to reflect the Senate's role and renumbered the bill section. The core policy language regarding the sale of wood products was significantly rewritten to clarify that sellers cannot use the term 'wood' in a false or misleading manner, rather than just prohibiting the term without specific material composition.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on regulating the sale of wood products, but the definition of prohibited conduct was broadened from a strict material requirement to include false or misleading advertising practices.

REQUIREMENT

The prohibition on selling products using the term 'wood' was expanded to explicitly ban any 'false or misleading' use of the term, covering both material composition and marketing claims.

TECHNICAL

The bill header was updated to change the status from 'House Committee Substitute' to 'Senate Committee Substitute' and the section number was changed from 3975H.02P to 3975S.03C.

The state name in the enacting clause was capitalized from 'state of Missouri' to 'State of Missouri'.
