Primary HJR 188
In committee · Missouri House · Lead sponsor
Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to MO HealthNet

Maddy summaryHJR 188 proposes a constitutional amendment to expand Missouri's MO HealthNet eligibility. It would make individuals aged 19-65 with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level automatically eligible for coverage, aligning with federal Medicaid standards. The amendment removes specific restrictions (subsections 5-6) that previously limited eligibility criteria for this group. If approved by voters, Missouri would need to update its state plan with federal authorities to implement this change. The bill requires voter approval before taking effect, as it amends the state constitution.

Primary HB 2770
In committee · Missouri House · Lead sponsor
Repeals section 273.100 relating to impounding of dogs

Maddy summaryHB 2770 repeals Section 273.100, which required town marshals to impound uncollared dogs and euthanize them after one week if not redeemed. The repealed law also mandated a $5 redemption fee (with $2 retained by the marshal) and imposed fines on marshals who failed to impound dogs. This repeal removes these specific requirements and penalties from state law. As a result, municipalities will no longer be obligated to follow these procedures for uncollared dogs.

Passed · Missouri House · Co-sponsor
Requires the general assembly to approve proposed administrative rules

Maddy summaryHB 2559 requires state agencies to obtain legislative approval before implementing new administrative rules that would cost over $250,000 annually for government, businesses, or individuals. Agencies must notify the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules and the full legislature, which must pass a concurrent resolution approving the rule before it takes effect. Rules not approved this way become invalid, with exceptions for federal compliance or funding requirements. This directly affects state agencies creating significant-cost rules and shifts authority to the legislature for final approval.
