SB 1420 — SB 1420 - This act modifies provisions relating to mail sent by state entities. The act requires the executive director of the Missouri Ethics Commission to notify the candidate or treasurer of a campaign committee by any means, rather than just registered mail, if the committee has failed to file any campaign finance report required by Missouri law. The act modifies the notice due to taxpayers in the case of a tax deficiency by requiring a notice of deficiency to be mailed by regular first class mail, rather than certified or registered mail as required by current law, to the taxpayer at his last known address or delivered electronically at the taxpayer's request. Pursuant to current law, any notice served on an applicant or recipient of a blind pension shall be sent by certified mail. This act repeals the requirement that the mail be sent certified, except in the case of notices of adverse actions being taken against the applicant or recipient. This act is identical to provisions in the truly agreed to SCS/HB 2180 (2026) and substantially similar to SB 666 (2025), HB 520 (2025), SB 1134 (2024), HB 2585 (2024), HCS/SS/SB 378 (2023), HB 79 (2023), and the perfected HB 510 (2023).

SB 1426 — SB 1426 - This act requires the Department of Transportation to establish procedures to address nonconsensual towing, recovery, and cleanup practices related to the removal of commercial vehicles from roadways, as described in the act. Such procedures shall include a process for the filing and review of complaints against a towing company, factors the Department shall consider in determining whether a charge was fair and reasonable, requirements for information to be included on nonconsensual towing invoices, and disciplinary measures for towing companies found to be in violation of the act.

SJR 101 — SJR 101 - This constitutional amendment, if approved by the voters, establishes the "Ed Emery Act". This amendment repeals state law relating to income and sales taxes and replaces it with rates as provided in the amendment. From January 1, 2029 to January 1, 2031, the individual income tax rate shall not exceed three percent. Beginning January 1, 2031, the individual income tax shall be repealed. From January 1, 2029 to January 1, 2031, the state sales tax shall not exceed five percent except on food, which shall not exceed four percent. Beginning January 1, 2031, the total of the state sales tax, conservation sales tax, and the parks and soils sales tax shall not exceed seven percent except on food, which shall not exceed five and one-half percent. The General Assembly may increase taxes or fees in the event of an emergency. All sales tax revenue shall be deposited into the General Revenue Fund and appropriated by the General Assembly unless otherwise restricted by the constitution, except that a portion of the funds received shall be deposited into the School District Trust Fund. The amount deposited in such fund shall not be less than the average annual amount deposited in the fund for fiscal years 2023-2027. The sales tax shall be imposed on all retail sales of new tangible personal property and all taxable services. All existing sales tax exemptions are repealed, other than those specifically listed in the amendment or those passed by a two-thirds majority of the General Assembly. The amendment requires all local sales tax rates to be recalculated to produce substantially the same amount of revenue as was produced on average for the five year period prior to January 1, 2029. Beginning January 1, 2031, the total of all sales taxes, including local taxes but excluding transportation development districts and community improvement districts, shall not exceed ten percent. Such rate may be exceeded if a local tax is approved by the voters or it is the temporary result of a recalculation of local taxes. This amendment also creates a property tax relief credit equal to fifty percent of the increase in taxes on a homestead to be used on the taxpayer's current property tax bill. To be eligible, the prior year's tax liability on the residence must have increased by more than five percent in a year of general reassessment or by more than two and one-half percent in a year without reassessment. To qualify for the credit, a taxpayer shall be at least sixty-five years of age; have total household income of no more than $75,000, adjusted annually based on the consumer price index; and own a residence of no more than $400,000 in appraised value, adjusted annually based on the consumer price index. Any taxpayer who claims this credit shall not also claim the Senior Citizen Property Tax Credit or any similar credit. This amendment is identical to SJR 56 (2025), SJR 13 (2017), SJR 25 (2016), and SJR 11 (2015), and is similar to SJR 46 (2014), HJR 80 (2014), and HJR 25 (2013). JOSH NORBERGdied on adjournment

The amendment also provides that the Highways and Transportation Commission shall be an advisory body within the Department, provided that the General Assembly may at any time abolish the Commission. All duties and powers given to the Commission as of the effective date of the amendment shall be transferred to the Department. The constitution also currently provides that the net proceeds of the motor fuel tax shall stand appropriated to the counties, municipalities, and the Commission. This amendment provides that the net proceeds allocable to the Commission shall be appropriated by the General Assembly to the Department. This amendment is similar to SJR 2 (2025), HJR 32 (2025), HJR 45 (2025), and HJR 109 (2024). TAYLOR MIDDLETONdied on adjournment

SB 1533 — SB 1533 - This act establishes the Interstate Dental and Dental Hygiene Licensure Compact ("Compact"), which facilitates the interstate practice of dentistry and dental hygiene and provides for dentists and dental hygienists licensed in a participating state to have expedited licensure portability in other participating states. The Compact creates a joint government agency ("Commission") and provides for its powers and duties, including overseeing the administration of the Compact, issuing advisory opinions and training on the Compact, and enforce compliance with the Compact. Additionally, each state's dental board shall have two voting members on the Commission, with one member required to be a member of the Missouri Dental Board. States shall submit all actions and documents determined by the Commission to the Clearinghouse, which is described in the act as the clearinghouse and databank administered by the American Association of Dental Boards that houses adverse actions and denials of licensure from the state dental boards. Insurance companies and entities verifying documents for the purposes of licenses to dentists or dental hygienists may seek information from the Clearinghouse for public record documents. The Compact sets forth the requirements for a dentist or dental hygienist to obtain and exercise the ability to practice in other participating states with the home state's dental board determining the eligibility of an application for a compact license privilege. The Compact further provides that a dentist or dental hygienist with compact privilege shall be subject to and comply with the laws and regulations of the participating state in which they seek to practice and shall be subject to that state's dental board. Appeals of a denial of a compact privilege application shall be filed with the home state within thirty days of the denial. Additionally, a licensee shall notify the Commission within ten days of any adverse action taken against his or her license in a state that is not a member of the Compact. Home states may take adverse actions against a holder of a compact license privilege regardless of where the actions occurred and any participating state where the compact licensee holds a compact license privilege may investigate an allegation of a violation of the laws and rules of the practice of dentistry or dental hygiene in any other state where the licensee holds a compact license privilege. Participating states may also participate together in joint investigations of compact licensees. Dental boards issuing a compact license privilege may also impose a fee for such privilege, except no fee shall be required for any active-duty military member or their spouse for up to one year after separation from the service. Furthermore, the Compact shall become active and binding upon the fifth state's enactment of the Compact. Any participating state may withdraw from the Compact by repealing the Compact, but the Compact shall remain in effect until six months after the date of withdrawal. This act is identical to SB 109 (2025) and HB 1290 (2025). KATIE O'BRIENdied on adjournment
