ASSISTANCE FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Section 27.117) Under this act, a prosecuting attorney may request assistance from the Attorney General for the prosecution of the certain sexual offenses. This provision is identical to a provision in CCS/SS/SCS/HCS/HBs 2637 & 3155 (2026) and substantially similar to a provision in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/SCS/HCS/HBs 2273 et al (2026). "BORN-ALIVE ABORTION SURVIVORS PROTECTION ACT (Section 188.035) This act creates the "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act". Under this act, a child born alive during or after an abortion or attempted abortion shall have the same rights, privileges, and immunities as any other person, citizen, and resident of Missouri, including any other live-born child. Any licensed, registered, or certified health care provider present in the provider's professional capacity at the time a child is born alive during or after an abortion or attempted abortion shall exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life, health, and comfort of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious provider would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age. Any person who knowingly performs or attempts to perform an overt act that kills a child born alive shall be guilty of first-degree murder. A person shall have the right to bring a cause of action for wrongful death or improper health care, as described in this act. This provision is similar to HCS/HBs 195 & 1119 (2025), SB 702 (2025), SCS/SB 753 (2022), provisions in SCS/HCS/HB 2012 (2022), HCS/HBs 1593 & 1959 (2022), SB 168 (2021), SB 665 (2020), and SB 388 (2019).

CRIMINAL OFFENSES (Sections 455.050, 565.002, 565.050-565.056, 565.072-565.074, 565.090-565.091, 565.225-565.227, 565.400-565.405, 573.570, 573.575, and Section C) This act modifies the offenses of assault in the first, second, third, and fourth degrees and the offenses of domestic violence in the first, second, third, and fourth degrees by removing the defined terms of "serious physical injury" and "physical injury" and providing for the following harms: • Great bodily harm: Bodily injury which creates a high probability of death, or which causes serious permanent or protracted loss or impairment of function of any bodily member or organ, or other serious bodily harm; • Substantial bodily harm: Bodily harm which involves a temporary but substantial disfigurement, or which causes temporary but substantial loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ, or which causes a fracture of any bodily member; and • Bodily harm: Physical pain or injury, illness, or any impairment of physical condition. Under current law, the first offense of harassment in the first degree is a class E felony. This act provides that a second or subsequent conviction of harassment in the first degree shall be a class D felony where the individual has previously been found guilty of harassment in the first or second degree. Currently, a first offense of harassment in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor. Under this act, provisions relating to a second or subsequent conviction of harassment in the second degree are modified to include a conviction of harassment in the first degree as a previous conviction in which case it is a class E felony. This act modifies the offense of stalking in the first degree by repealing the elements of such offense and providing that a person commits the offense of stalking in the first degree when the person knowingly, through a course of conduct that is directed at another person or through technological abuse, as defined in the act, engages in conduct that would cause a reasonable person under similar circumstances to: • Fear death or bodily injury, as defined in this act; • Fear that an offense will be committed against a member of the person's family, household members, or an individual with whom the person has a dating relationship; • Fear that an offense will be committed against the person's property; or • Feel harassed, terrified, or intimidated.

• SJR 111 SS/SCS/SJR 111 - Current constitutional provisions require taxing jurisdictions to reduce property tax levies when the total assessed value of property in the taxing jurisdiction increases by more than the percent increase in inflation, with an exception made for levies imposed for the payment of principal and interest on bonds or other indebtedness. This constitutional amendment, if approved by the voters, removes the exemption for debt service levies. The amendment also provides that, beginning January 1 following the effective date of the amendment, taxing jurisdictions shall calculate levies for each subclass of real property, and shall reduce the levy for any such class if the assessed valuation for such class increases over the previous year, as provided in the amendment. Additionally, this amendment requires the value of new construction and improvements to be included in the calculation of total assessed valuation for the purpose of calculating property tax levies. (Section 22) This amendment is substantially similar to HJR 148 (2026). JOSH NORBERG · May 15, 2026
• SB 1442 SS/SCS/SB 1442 - This act modifies provisions relating to literacy of elementary school students. EDUCATOR PREPARATION PROGRAMS (Section 161.097) The act requires educator preparation programs to instruct teacher candidates on the selection and use of "high-quality" reading curricula and instructional materials that do not include the three-cueing system, as such term is defined in current law, as a primary instructional strategy. The act prohibits educator preparation programs from including instruction in, or endorsement of, the three-cueing system as an instructional strategy for decoding. Beginning July 1, 2027, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) shall annually review and publicly report on the compliance of educator preparation programs with literacy and reading instruction requirements of current law and those established in the act. The review shall evaluate whether instruction is grounded in the components of evidence-based reading instruction and whether prohibited practices, such as the three-cueing system, are excluded from coursework. Educator preparation programs not in compliance with these requirements shall not be approved to certify new teachers. STATE AID FOR READING INSTRUCTION (Section 161.241) The act provides that the current Evidence-Based Reading Instruction Program Fund may be used for initiatives that provide training and materials to teachers regarding structured literacy and dyslexia-informed practices. Such fund may also be used for reading tutoring programs inside regular school hours, rather than only outside regular school hours. IDENTIFICATION OF READING DEFICIENCIES (Sections 167.268, 167.340, and 167.645) The act requires school districts and charter schools to provide suggestions for parent-guided home reading to all parents of students identified as having a reading deficiency, in addition to parents of students with a substantial reading deficiency. (Section 167.268) The act modifies the "Read to be Ready Program" by authorizing districts to include certain students in grades 1-3, rather than kindergarten to grade 3, for additional average daily attendance for state school aid during reading instruction time that occurs outside normal school hours. (Section 167.340) The act establishes the "Missouri Reading Screener", a literacy-based reading assessment administered to students in grades 1-3 three times per year in every school district and charter school in the state. Any screener approved by DESE that meets the criteria set forth in the act shall be deemed a reading screener. Any reading screener approved by DESE shall score each student in one of the following categories and provide a numerical value relative to the student's grade level: "at risk", "approaching expectations", "meets expectations", and "exceeds expectations". Proficiency benchmarks "below basic", "basic", "grade-level", "proficient", or "advanced" associated with these categories shall be determined by DESE. School districts and charter schools shall assess all students on the reading screener once at the end of kindergarten and in grades 1-3 during three annual administration windows established by DESE, as provided in the act. DESE shall provide the screener to school districts and charter schools at no cost. The screener shall be appropriate for students in grades 1-3 and shall be used to comply with dyslexia screening requirements established in current law. Additionally, the reading screener shall screen for characteristics of dyslexia and reading deficiency and assess certain skills as developmentally appropriate. Student results on the reading screener shall not be used to make decisions concerning the accreditation of a public school or school district. A student who scores "approaching expectations" on the Missouri Reading Screener shall be identified as having a reading deficiency. A student who scores "at risk" on the screener shall be identified as having a substantial reading deficiency. Any student entering the school district or charter school after the start of the school year shall be assessed within 20 days and be provided a reading success plan if the student is identified as having a reading deficiency or substantial reading deficiency. The district or charter school shall notify the parent of any student in grades 1-3 who exhibits a reading deficiency or substantial reading deficiency of certain requirements set forth in current law. In addition to such current requirements, the notification shall state that if the child has a substantial reading deficiency by the end of grade three, as determined by the student's performance on the reading screener, the child shall not be promoted to grade four unless the child qualifies for a good cause exemption, as provided in the act. If the district or charter school provides a summer reading program, the parent of a student with a reading deficiency or substantial reading deficiency shall be notified that the student is required to attend the summer reading program. If a child has a reading deficiency or substantial reading deficiency at the end of grade two, the student's parent shall meet with school staff to discuss the deficiency and sign documentation stating that the parent has been informed of certain information set forth in the act, including a statement that retention of a third-grade student with a substantial reading deficiency is mandatory unless the unless the child qualifies for a good cause exemption or scores "approaching expectations" or higher on a retest opportunity, as provided in the act. The parent shall agree to participate in parent training workshops or regular parent-guided home reading activities, or both, that are aligned to scientifically based reading research. A parent's refusal to meet, sign, or agree as required under the act shall not prevent that student from receiving additional interventions or from being retained by the school district. A good cause exemption may be granted to students who are English language learners or who have individualized education plans or 504 plans developed under federal law. A student who has already been retained at least once in kindergarten to third grade shall not be retained and shall not require a good cause exemption. To request a good cause exemption, a student's teacher shall submit documentation to the school principal recommending the student's promotion, including the type of exemption being requested and the child's existing reading improvement plan or individualized education plan, as appropriate. The school principal shall discuss the recommendation with the teacher and determine whether the student qualifies for a good cause exemption. If the school principal determines that the student qualifies for the good cause exemption, the school principal shall make such recommendation in writing to the superintendent, who shall accept or reject the school principal's recommendation in writing. The school district shall assist schools with notifying parents of students who are retained of the reasons for the retention, along with a description of the proposed interventions and supports that will be provided to the child to remedy the identified area or areas of reading deficiency in the following school year. School districts and charter schools may include in reading success plans a "read at home" plan outlined in a parental contract that includes participation in parent training workshops or regular parent-guided home reading activities, or both, that are aligned to scientifically based reading research. Reading success plans and intensive reading instruction shall be provided to each student in grades 1-3 who exhibits a reading deficiency or a substantial reading deficiency, rather than to students in grades 1-5 who exhibit a substantial reading deficiency. Intensive reading instruction provided to students exhibiting a reading deficiency or substantial reading deficiency shall not include the three-cueing system, as defined in current law, as a primary instructional strategy. Each school district shall establish an intensive acceleration class at each school for any student retained in grade three who was previously retained in kindergarten through grade two. The class shall satisfy certain criteria set forth in the act, and shall have a reduced teacher-student ratio and provide explicit, systematic, sequential, and cumulative reading instruction and intervention for the majority of student contact time each day. School districts and charter schools shall report certain reading assessment data to DESE for grades 1-3, rather than for kindergarten through grade five. By October 1 annually, each school board shall report in writing to DESE certain information regarding reading instruction, such as the board's policies regarding student retention and promotion, the number and percentage of students identified as having reading deficiencies or substantial reading deficiencies, the number and percentage of all students retained in kindergarten to third grade due to substantial reading deficiencies, and the total number and percentage of third-grade students who were promoted with good cause exemptions, as provided in the act. Each public school shall make available to the public the title and author of all reading curriculum materials adopted for each grade and the recommended reading level for such materials. (Section 167.645) THREE-CUEING SYSTEM MODEL OF READING INSTRUCTION (Section 170.014) Current law provides that visual information and strategies that improve background and experiential knowledge shall not be used to teach word reading. This act provides that such information and strategies shall not be used to teach decoding. NO ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS (Section 1) This act shall not be construed to require public schools, charter schools, or school districts to incur additional costs in order to implement the provisions of the act. This act is similar to SCS/HCS/HB 2872 (2026), HB 2914 (2026), and provisions in SB 1628 (2026). OLIVIA SHANNON · May 15, 2026
• SB 998 SCS/SB 998 - This act creates, repeals, and modifies provisions of the Missouri Empowerment Scholarship Accounts Program. The act changes the definition of "illegal alien" to "legal resident" as set forth under federal law. The act modifies the definition of "qualified student" by removing the requirement for a qualified student to have attended a public school during the previous 12 months, as well as removing requirements relating to students' kindergarten eligibility and siblings who participate in the program. Such definition is further modified by adding dyslexia and disability diagnoses to requirements concerning individualized education plans. This provision is similar to a provision in SS/HCS/HBs 2097 & 1905 (2026). (Section 166.700) The act provides that an organization representing a group of parents of qualified students may intervene on behalf of such parents as a defendant in any action in which any provision of state law, the Missouri Constitution, or a state regulation involving the program is at issue. An organization that intervenes as provided in the act shall have the right to file such pleading necessary on behalf of such parents. (Section 166.719) Finally, except as specifically provided in state law, the act prohibits the creation or enforcement of any rule, regulation, or other requirement that conditions a qualified school's participation in the program on accreditation or compliance with any other requirement. Any rule, regulation, or other requirement that violates this provision is void and shall have no force or effect. (Section 166.720) OLIVIA SHANNON · May 15, 2026
• SB 1718 SB 1718 - This act modifies provisions relating to workers' compensation.

Current law provides that any employer who knowingly fails to insure his liability pursuant to the workers' compensation law shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor. This act provides that any employer who knowingly fails to insure his or her liability shall result in a written warning for the first violation and upon a second violation or any additional subsequent violations thereafter shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor. Moreover, the act repeals a provision that stipulates that a person who has previously been found guilty of any unlawful acts with respect to the workers' compensation law, as described in the act, and who subsequently commits any such unlawful act shall be guilty of a class E felony. This act is identical to HB 3032 (2026). SCOTT SVAGERA · May 7, 2026
• SB 907 HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 907, 1154 & 1272 - This act creates the "Act Against Abusive Website or Web Content Access Litigation". The Attorney General on behalf of a class of residents of this state, the state, or a political subdivision that is subject to litigation that alleges any website or web content access violation, or any resident of this state, the state, or a political subdivision of this state that is subject to litigation that alleges any website or web content access violation, may file a civil action against the party, attorney, or law firm that initiated such litigation for a determination as to whether such litigation alleging a website or web content access violation is abusive litigation. In determining whether a civil action alleging a website or web content access claim is considered abusive, the court shall consider the totality of the circumstances to find whether the primary purpose of the litigation was to obtain payment from a defendant due to the costs of defending the action in court. The act describes the factors to be considered in making this determination. A defendant who receives notice of an alleged website or web content access violation and in good faith takes substantial steps to correct the violation within 90 days shall have a rebuttable presumption that any subsequent claim for a website or web content access violation is abusive. There shall not be a presumption if the alleged violation is not corrected within 90 days after written notice or service of the petition. Additionally, nothing in this act shall prevent a defendant from filing a motion to dismiss or from notifying the plaintiff, prior to the end of the 90-day period, that the alleged access violation has been corrected in good faith. The Attorney General may intervene or bring an action on behalf of Missouri residents that are targets of abusive website or web content access litigation. The Attorney General may also issue guidance as to when litigation practices are deemed abusive, but such guidance shall not preclude legitimate accessibility enforcement actions. The court may award attorney's fees and costs to the party defending against the abusive litigation. The court may also award punitive damages or sanctions not to exceed three times the amount of attorney's fees awarded by the court. If the U.S. Department of Justice issues standards concerning website or web content accessibility under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, the provisions of this act shall expire with respect to any entity that has registered as a corporation with the Secretary of State's office, and the state and any political subdivision thereof. This act shall apply to litigation pending on August 28, 2026, and the 90-day correction period shall apply to any defendant in any pending litigation on August 28, 2026, that has complied with the requirements of this act prior to or within 90 days after such date. This act is similar to SB 1471 (2026), HCS/HBs 1694, 1674, 1780, 2056, 2312 & 1755 (2026), and HCS/HBs 1842 & 2150 (2026). KATIE O'BRIEN · Became Law · May 7, 2026

The bonding agent is also required to certify to the court that they have received the required percentage from the defendant when they file the bonding paperwork. If a bonding agent fails to provide the certification, they shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor. If an agent falsifies documentation it shall be a class E felony. Additionally, if a bonding agent fails to provide the certification, or falsifies documentation, they shall be disqualified from writing bail bonds for a period of five years.

• SB 1517 SB 1517 - This act modifies provisions relating to property taxes. TAX BALLOT MEASURE LANGUAGE This act provides that a political subdivision or election authority shall not advertise or describe any proposed property tax as not increasing taxes unless failing to adopt the measure would cause an actual increase in the tax rate and adopting the measure would cause the tax rate to stay the same or decrease. (Section 67.496) This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026) and HCS#2/HB 2668 (2026). This act requires an election authority to label tax ballot measures numerically or alphabetically in the order in which they are submitted. (Section 115.240) This provision is substantially similar to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026), SS/SCS/SBs 1410 & 853 (2026), SB 1784 (2026), SCS/HCS/HB 1790 (2026), HCS/HB 2178 (2026), and HCS#2/HB 2668 (2026). This act modifies multiple provisions of current law to provide that any ballot measures proposing a new or increased real or personal property tax levy shall be submitted on a general election day and shall include certain information, as described in the act. (Section 115.706 and multiple other sections) This provision is substantially similar to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026), SB 1784 (2026), HCS#2/HB 2668 (2026), and HCS/HB 2925 (2026).

PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS Current law provides that new construction and improvements shall not be included in the total assessed valuation for the purposes of calculating property tax levies. This act repeals such provisions. (Sections 137.055 and 137.073) This act requires that if the voters in a political subdivision approve an increase to the tax rate ceiling prior to the expiration of a previously approved temporary levy increase, the new tax rate ceiling shall remain in effect only until such time as the temporary levy increase expires under the terms originally approved by a vote of the people, at which time the tax rate ceiling shall be decreased by the amount of the temporary levy increase. If, prior to the expiration of a temporary levy increase, voters are asked to approve an additional permanent levy increase, voters shall be submitted ballot language that clearly indicates that if the permanent levy increase is approved, the temporary levy shall be made permanent. (Section 137.073.5(3)) This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026), SB 1293 (2026), SS/SCS/SBs 1410 & 853 (2026), SCS/HCS/HB 1790 (2026), HCS/HBs 2709 & 2671 (2026), HCS#2/HB 2780 (2026), HCS/HB 119 (2025), HB 660 (2025), HB 1497 (2025), HCS/HB 2058 (2024), HCS/HB 1517 (2024), HCS/HB 2140 (2024), CCS/HS/HCS/SS#2/SCS/SB 96 (2023), and HCS/SS#3/SCS/SB 131 (2023), and is substantially similar to SB 880 (2018) and SB 357 (2017). This act provides that, if the total assessed valuation in a political subdivision decreases in the tax year immediately following a tax year in which the voters approved an increase to the tax rate ceiling, such political subdivision may increase its levy such that the revenue received equals the amount that would have been received from the increased rate of levy had there been no decrease in the total assessed valuation. (Section 137.073.5(6)) This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026), SB 1293 (2026), SCS/HCS/HB 1790 (2026), HCS/HBs 2709 & 2671 (2026), HCS#2/HB 2780 (2026), HCS/HB 119 (2025), HB 660 (2025), HB 1497 (2025), HCS/HB 2058 (2024), HCS/HB 1517 (2024), and HCS/HB 2140 (2024), and is substantially similar to a provision in SS/SCS/SBs 1410 & 853 (2026). Current law requires an assessor to conduct a physical inspection of any residential real property prior to increasing the assessed valuation of such property by more than 15%. This act applies such requirement to all utility, industrial, commercial, railroad and other non-agricultural real property. (Section 137.115.10) This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026), SB 1784 (2026), HCS#2/HB 2780 (2026), and is substantially similar to a provision in SS/SCS/SBs 1410 & 853 (2026) and SCS/HCS/HB 2178 (2026). PROPERTY TAX CREDITS Current law allows counties to provide a property tax credit to certain seniors. This act requires counties to provide such credit and makes technical changes to the definitions of "eligible credit amount" and "eligible taxpayer". The act also requires the statement of tax due to include certain information about the proportional amount of the credit attributable to each taxing jurisdiction. Finally, the act provides that the credit shall apply to all property tax levies, including debt service levies. (Section 137.1050) This provision is substantially similar to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026) and is similar to a provision in SS/SCS/SBs 1410 & 853 (2026) and SCS/HCS/HB 2944 (2026). Current law also allows counties to provide a property tax credit to all other taxpayers, with certain counties able to annually increase the real property tax liability by five percent or the percent increase in inflation, whichever is greater. This act limits such increase to the lesser of the two amounts. (Section 137.1055) This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026). TOTALED MOTOR VEHICLE PROPERTY TAX CREDIT This act authorizes any taxing entity to provide a property tax credit to a taxpayer to reduce the total personal property tax owed on a totaled motor vehicle. The amount of the property tax credit shall be equal to the amount of property tax owed on such vehicle, prorated for the amount of months left in the tax year. In order to authorize a property tax credit pursuant to the act, the governing body of the taxing entity shall adopt an ordinance, as described in the act. (Section 139.035) This provision is identical to HCS/HB 708 (2025) and to a provision in HB 2627 (2026). PROPERTY TAX INSTALLMENTS Current law authorizes counties to provide for the payment of real and personal property taxes in installments, but excludes township counties from utilizing such payment plans. This act repeals such prohibition for township counties. (Section 139.053) This provision is identical to SB 1211 (2026) and HB 388 (2025), and is substantially similar to provisions in SS/SCS/SBs 1410 & 853 (2026) and SS/SCS/HCS/HBs 1768 & 2060 (2026). SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPERTY TAX LEVIES Current law requires school districts to impose a property tax levy for operating purposes of not less than $2.75 in order to receive the full amount of state aid. This act lowers such required levy to $1.50 beginning with the 2026-2027 school year. (Section 163.021) This provision is substantially similar to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026) and HCS#2/HB 2780 (2026). BLIND PENSION FUND Current law imposes a state property tax of $0.03 per $100 assessed valuation for the purposes of funding the Blind Pension Fund. This act eliminates such property tax upon the adoption of a constitutional amendment requiring the General Assembly to appropriate moneys to the Blind Pension Fund. (Section 209.130) SEVERABILITY This act contains a severability clause. (Section B) JOSH NORBERG · Feb 11, 2026

A violation of this act is committed within Missouri if any conduct that is an element of the offense, or any harm to the depicted person resulting from the offense, occurs within Missouri. The offense shall be a class C felony. Each act shall constitute a separate offense. Furthermore, a disclaimer that a depicted individual did not consent to the generation or promotion of the material or that the depicted individual did not perform the actions portrayed shall not be a defense. This act additionally provides that an aggrieved person may bring a civil action against a person who generates or who, with knowledge that a visual depiction is an altered sexual depiction, willfully and maliciously promotes, or possesses with the intent to maliciously promote, any altered sexual depiction of a depicted individual without the person's consent. A person may be entitled to injunctive relief, attorney's fees and costs, and monetary damages of $10,000 or actual damages, whichever is greater. This act defines a covered platform as a website, online service, online application, or mobile application that serves the public and that primarily provides a forum for user-generated content or for which in the regular course of business the entity publishes, curates, hosts, or makes available nonconsensual altered sexual depictions. Covered platforms shall not include an information or telecommunications service, email, and certain online services, applications, or websites that consist primarily of content that is not user generated but preselected by the provider and for which any chat, comment, or interactive functionality is incidental to, directly related to, or dependent on the provision of the content. No later than December 31, 2026, covered platforms shall establish a process where an identifiable person or an authorized person for such identifiable person may notify the covered platform of an altered sexual depiction published on the covered platform. The identifiable person or authorized person may submit a written request, as provided in the act, that the covered platform remove such altered sexual depiction. No later than 48 hours after receiving such request, a covered platform shall remove the altered sexual depiction and make reasonable efforts to identify and remove any known identical copies of such altered sexual depiction. Additionally, covered platforms shall provide a notice of the notification and removal process. Failure to comply with the notice and removal requirements of this act shall be an unlawful practice under Missouri Merchandising Practices Act.
