HB 1789: Establishes the Delivery Network Company Insurance Act and establishes the standards and requirements for motor vehicle liability insurance coverage

HB 1789 establishes insurance requirements for delivery drivers working through apps or digital platforms (like food or package delivery services). It requires drivers to maintain minimum liability insurance coverage of $50,000 per person for bodily injury, $100,000 total per accident, and $25,000 for property damage during both their "delivery availability period" (when logged in and ready to accept requests) and "delivery service period" (when actively transporting goods). The bill mandates drivers carry proof of this insurance and clarifies that delivery companies must provide coverage if a driver’s policy lapses or is insufficient. This directly affects gig economy drivers and delivery companies operating in the state, ensuring minimum liability protection for third parties in accidents.

It requires these vehicles to achieve a "minimal risk condition" during system failures, submit a law enforcement plan to public safety, and carry proof of financial responsibility. The bill mandates special vehicle registration and titling identifying them as autonomous, while clarifying that automated systems are legally considered the "driver" for traffic law compliance. It also specifies crash reporting protocols and exempts these vehicles from certain driver-focused equipment laws when operating autonomously.

HB 2246: Requires drivers to stop at railroad crossings for any on-track equipment in addition to trains

HB 2246 requires drivers to stop at railroad crossings when approaching *any* on-track equipment (like maintenance vehicles or work trains), not just trains. Drivers must stop 15-50 feet from the nearest rail and wait until it’s safe to proceed if signals warn of an approaching train or on-track equipment, a gate is lowered, or equipment is visible and close. This expands existing rules that previously only required stops for trains. The bill directly affects all drivers approaching railroad crossings and aims to improve safety by broadening the circumstances requiring a stop.

HB 2073: Modifies provisions relating to salvage titles

HB 2073 updates Missouri's vehicle registration rules for salvage vehicles by requiring the Department of Revenue to issue certificates that clearly label the vehicle type (e.g., "Reconstructed Motor Vehicle" or "Non-USA-Std Motor Vehicle"). The bill mandates that these certificates include current odometer readings, an annual odometer update notice, and specific details about prior ownership transfers. It also requires certificates to be designed to prevent alteration or forgery, potentially involving contracts with document security experts. This change directly affects owners of salvage vehicles seeking registration and modifies the state's vehicle title system.

HB 1656: Modifies provisions governing port authorities

HB 1656 would have revised Missouri's laws governing port authorities, primarily affecting cities and counties near navigable waterways seeking to establish or expand port districts. It would have established a new approval process for port authorities through the state highways and transportation commission, requiring consideration of factors like population size (300,000+ for certain areas), economic feasibility, and avoiding boundary overlaps with existing authorities. Key provisions included granting port authorities power to levy local sales/use taxes or real property taxes within designated port districts for infrastructure projects, and defining how port district boundaries could be adjusted. The bill was prefaced in December 2025 but withdrawn the same month and never became law.

HB 2609: Requires political subdivisions that require the installation of electric vehicle charging stations at certain businesses to pay the costs associated with the installation, maintenance, and operation of such stations

HB 2609 requires local governments (like cities or counties) to cover all costs for installing, maintaining, and operating electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at businesses when they mandate such stations. It limits requirements to no more than five stations per parking lot with over 30 spaces and exempts churches and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations from these rules. The bill does not prevent businesses or property owners from voluntarily paying for EV charging stations themselves.
