SB 1333 — SB 1333 - This act establishes the "Missouri Covenant Marriage Act". Persons with the legal capacity to marry under current law may enter into a covenant marriage by declaring their intent on their marriage license application. The marriage license shall be designated as a covenant marriage license and shall be recorded as such and shall be considered valid and recognized by all governmental agencies, with all the benefits and rights of a standard marriage license. This act specifies the additional declarations and affidavits to be submitted by the parties to the covenant marriage and by the clergy or counselors who provided at least 8 hours of premarital counseling to the parties. Premarital counseling shall include: (1) a discussion of the seriousness of covenant marriage, (2) communication of the fact that covenant marriage is a commitment for life, (3) a discussion of the obligation to seek marital counseling in times of marital difficulties, and (4) a discussion of the limited grounds for legally terminating a covenant marriage by dissolution or legal separation. If a husband and wife have previously obtained a standard marriage license, they may convert that to a covenant marriage license by submitting a declaration and affidavit, as specified in the act. The husband and wife shall not be required to receive premarital counseling or have the converted covenant marriage solemnized. The state of Missouri shall publish information on covenant marriages on its website. Additionally, this act establishes the requirements for terminating a covenant marriage. A husband or wife may file a petition in court for legal separation at any time, but a dissolution may only be granted after the court has first ordered a legal separation. The court shall order both parties to attend at least 40 hours of marital counseling prior to ordering a dissolution of marriage. This counseling may be provided by either a faith-based organization or a professional marriage counselor or agency. The court shall not enter a decree of dissolution until at least 2 years have passed after the initial filing for legal separation or dissolution and after first ordering a legal separation, for the following reasons: (1) adultery by either spouse; (2) habitual drug or alcohol abuse by either spouse; (3) a spouse has committed a felony and been sentenced to death or imprisonment; (4) a spouse has physically or sexually abused the other spouse, a child, a relative permanently living in the matrimonial domicile, or has committed domestic violence or severe emotional abuse; (5) a spouse has abandoned the matrimonial domicile and has not been in contact with the other spouse for at least 2 years; (6) the spouses have been living separately and continuously without reconciliation for at least 2 years; or (7) the husband and wife have both attended at least 40 hours of marital counseling over the course of at least 2 years. Finally, whether a husband and wife have entered into a standard or covenant marriage, if a court has ordered divorcing or separating parents to attend a parenting education class, then the parties may opt for a faith-based alternative program if that program informs the parties of the effects of divorce on families and children. This act is identical to SB 769 (2025), SB 1234 (2024), SB 258 (2023), SB 1117 (2022), and HB 1693 (2022). SARAH HASKINSdied on adjournment

SB 1060 — SCS/SB 1060 - The act creates provisions relating to public water supply districts. DETACHMENT FROM A PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY DISTRICT (Section 247.181) Under the act, as an alternative to detachment from a public water supply district located in certain counties, the owners of 50% or more of the area located within the district that does not receive water service from the district may petition the circuit court to be detached from the district by filing a petition. Conditions for the detachment are described in the act. Specifics of the petition are described in the act. After receiving the petition, the election authority shall issue a certificate stating whether the records of the authority show any voters residing within the area proposed to be detached. The authority shall file the certificate with the circuit court and shall serve a copy of the certificate upon the petitioners, as described in the act. Following the receipt of the petition, the board of directors of the district shall file with the circuit court a verification stating whether any water lines or other facilities owned or operated by the district are located within the area proposed to be detached or whether the district has any outstanding obligation bonds at the time the petition is filed. The verification shall be filed with the court and served upon the petitioners, as described in the act. The petitioner shall be responsible for payment of the reasonable costs of the district for providing the verification. Pursuant to the timelines described in the act, the court shall set a public hearing date on the proposed detachment. Notice of the filing of the petition shall be posted in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the proceedings are pending. Specifics of the notice are described in the act. At the public hearing, an interested person may file written objections or comments and may be heard with respect to any issues set forth in the notice. The court may hear all protests, objections, comments, and other evidence presented at the hearing. The court shall thereafter determine if the petition satisfied the conditions under the act and whether the petitioners are entitled to detachment, as described in the act. If the court determines that the petition is defective, the court shall dismiss the petition without prejudice. The petition shall not be considered defective based on the fact that the district is a borrower under a federal loan program. The petitioner shall bear all costs of the proceedings under the act. A certified copy of the court's order shall be filed as described in the act. ACCEPTANCE OF MONETARY CONTRIBUTIONS (Section 247.229) If a public water supply district that is located in certain counties, and pursuant to the provisions of the act, has an outstanding debt owed to or guaranteed by the United States government, the board of directors of the district shall accept any monetary gift, donation, or bequest made to the district for its use, unless such acceptance would be in violation of current law. Such donations shall be applied first to the payment of any outstanding debt of the district that is owed to or guaranteed by the United States government, until such debt is satisfied in full. Excess funds may be applied as authorized by current law. If no such debt exists, the board of directors may apply the funds as authorized by current law. The board shall maintain records of all monetary gifts, donations, or bequests received and make such records available for public inspection. Any person or entity may make full payment for any debt of the district that is owed to or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agency. The board of directors shall take all necessary actions to facilitate such payments, as described in the act. These provisions shall only apply to specific public water supply districts, as described in the act. The act has an emergency clause. The act is substantially similar to HB 1917 (2026).
