Sen. Bill Eigel

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a change to Senate Rule 60, which governs how amendments are handled for appropriations bills. The specific text of the amendment is not included in the provided document, so the exact nature of the procedural modification cannot be detailed. As a rule change, it directly affects the Senate's internal processes for managing budget legislation rather than impacting the general public. The bill was introduced in January 2024 and placed on the resolutions calendar in May 2024.

Maddy summaryThis bill updates the rules for how property assessors in Missouri calculate and record property tax values. It changes the percentage of true value used to assess different types of real property, such as residential and commercial land, and adjusts the rates for specific personal property items like historic vehicles, aircraft, and farm machinery. The legislation also clarifies how assessors must handle new construction, establishes procedures for resolving disputes over assessment plans, and sets a legal presumption that computer-generated valuations are accurate unless proven otherwise.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes changes to two specific Senate rules that govern how the Appropriations Committee handles reports on new spending for general state revenue. By amending the text of Rules 50 and 60, the legislation aims to adjust the procedural steps the committee must follow when submitting its financial proposals. The measure directly impacts the Senate's internal operations and the committee members responsible for drafting budget recommendations. It does not alter the actual amount of money spent or create new funding, but rather updates the rules describing how those financial reports are processed.

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies how Missouri calculates individual income tax by adjusting the state's adjusted gross income based on federal tax rules. It requires taxpayers to add back certain federal tax refunds and specific deductions, such as interest on municipal bonds and changes related to net operating losses, while also allowing subtractions for items like interest on U.S. government bonds and specific capital gains. These changes aim to align state tax calculations more closely with federal provisions, affecting both resident and nonresident individuals filing Missouri tax returns. The legislation updates existing statutes to reflect these new inclusion and exclusion criteria for various financial transactions.

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies Missouri laws to support military service members and veterans through several key changes. It exempts National Guard members from being required to receive COVID-19 vaccinations as a condition of state duty and establishes a process for state agencies to identify and connect veterans with available benefits. The legislation also creates a new program to award a specific medallion and certificate to veterans who served honorably during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Additionally, it expands tax deductions for active-duty military income and requires the state to review and improve programs aimed at preventing veteran suicide.

Maddy summaryThis bill asks the U.S. Congress to bring back a rule requiring products to clearly state where they were made. It directly affects American consumers and businesses by mandating that country of origin labels be included on goods. The proposal does not create new laws itself but instead urges lawmakers to pass legislation that would enforce these labeling requirements. Currently, the bill is in the early stages of the legislative process after being reviewed by a committee.
