Maddy summaryHB 3290 requires Missouri public entities (like state agencies or local governments) to obtain written certification from contractors before awarding contracts for services, supplies, or construction. The certification confirms the contractor is not boycotting Israel - defined as refusing to deal with Israeli businesses, persons, or entities doing business in Israel. Contracts exceeding $100,000 or involving companies with 10+ employees must include this certification, with non-compliant contracts deemed void. Exemptions apply to smaller contracts ($100,000 or less) and contractors with fewer than 10 employees. The bill defines "boycott of Israel" broadly to include any actions limiting commercial relations with Israeli entities.

Maddy summaryHB 3307 prohibits state contracts with certain telecommunications companies, specifically those founded in 1885 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The bill would prevent state agencies from entering into agreements with these designated firms, directly affecting the telecommunications industry and state procurement processes. This measure establishes a clear restriction based on the company's founding date and location, without specifying additional operational requirements or exemptions. The legislation aims to limit state business with these particular providers while leaving other telecommunications companies unaffected.

Maddy summaryHB 3501 designates Show-Me BAR-B-Q Sauce as the "Official Barbecue Sauce of the state of Missouri." This ceremonial bill directly affects the Show-Me BAR-B-Q Sauce company by granting its product an official state designation. The bill contains no policy changes or mechanisms beyond this symbolic recognition. It is a procedural resolution with no regulatory or financial impact. The bill was introduced in the Missouri House on February 26, 2026, and read for the second time the following day.

Maddy summaryHCR 30 is a resolution establishing the "Commission on Interstate 70 Safety and Beautification" to study improvements for Missouri's I-70 corridor. The commission, composed of transportation committee leaders, municipal and county representatives, and scenic conservation experts, will examine ways to enhance safety and scenic beauty through reduced driver distractions (like excessive billboards), strategic landscaping, and updated design standards for highways and bridges. This resolution directly affects I-70 planning, tourism promotion, and roadside commerce stakeholders by guiding future rebuild efforts to balance safety, economic development, and Missouri's natural scenic character. It does not enact new laws but creates a body to recommend strategies to the Missouri Department of Transportation and General Assembly.

Maddy summaryHB 3062 repeals a law requiring businesses to provide paper or plastic bags for packaged items. It allows businesses to choose whether to offer paper or plastic bags for purchases, while prohibiting local governments from banning, taxing, or imposing fees on these bags. The bill also maintains consumers' right to use reusable bags for purchases. This changes current requirements that would have restricted bag options and local regulatory authority.

Maddy summaryHB 3130 is a Missouri legislative declaration asserting state authority over federal laws regarding firearms and law enforcement transparency. It states that Missouri rejects federal restrictions on gun ownership within the state and declares that federal laws requiring facial coverings for police or limiting gun rights exceed constitutional limits. The bill mandates that all peace officers in Missouri must publicly identify themselves during interactions, prohibiting face coverings except in immediate safety emergencies. This is a declaratory statement of policy, not a new law, and does not change existing legal obligations. It directly affects Missouri law enforcement practices and residents' gun rights within state borders.

Maddy summaryHB 3135 requires all public school boards to annually inspect and test specific fire safety doors in school buildings (including panic hardware, exit enclosures, and electronically controlled doors) using standards from the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. School boards must verify compliance based on when doors were installed (2015 or newer must meet current NFPA 101; older doors follow standards in effect at installation) and fix any non-compliant doors within specified timeframes. Starting January 1, 2028, authorities will review school inspection records and issue citations for persistent non-compliance, with schools required to post citations publicly until resolved. The bill directly affects public school facilities and boards, focusing on concrete door safety requirements rather than broader policy changes.

Maddy summaryHB 2240 requires that autonomous vehicles operating on public roads must have a licensed human operator physically present who can actively control the vehicle at all times. It defines "autonomous technology" as systems enabling full driverless operation (excluding basic safety features like adaptive cruise control), and mandates that autonomous vehicles meet all state and federal safety standards before registration. The bill prohibits autonomous vehicles from transporting goods or passengers commercially (e.g., for delivery or ridesharing) unless a human operator is present and licensed to intervene. This directly affects autonomous vehicle owners, manufacturers, and operators by imposing operational safety requirements and restricting commercial use until human oversight is guaranteed.

Maddy summaryHB 1634 modifies Missouri's definition of "commercial feed" to explicitly include industrial hemp, as defined in state law. This change directly affects feed manufacturers and distributors who use industrial hemp in animal feed products, bringing it under existing regulatory requirements. The bill adds industrial hemp to the list of materials covered by commercial feed rules, requiring compliance with labeling, safety, and distribution standards previously applied to other feed ingredients. This adjustment aligns industrial hemp with other regulated feed components under Missouri's agricultural oversight.

Maddy summaryHB 2113 requires firearm owners to store guns securely to prevent access by children or ineligible persons, such as keeping them unloaded in locked safes, gun cabinets, or with trigger locks. It directly affects individuals owning or controlling property where firearms are stored, with penalties including a $500 fine for first violations and a class B misdemeanor for repeat offenses. The law defines "secure storage" to exclude antique firearms and includes defenses for lawful self-defense. It also mandates that firearm dealers display warning notices about penalties and requires the state to provide multilingual educational materials on safe storage and suicide prevention resources.
