SB 1673 — SB 1673 - This act establishes the Interstate Massage Compact ("Compact"), which allows for the interstate practice of massage therapy. The Compact sets forth the requirements to be met in order for a state to join and maintain membership in the Compact. Additionally, the Compact provides the requirements for a massage therapist to obtain and exercise the ability to practice under a multistate license. The multistate license shall be valid until the expiration or revocation of the home state license. The Compact further provides that a massage therapist with multistate license shall function within the scope of practice of the member state. Massage therapists shall also be subject to that member state's licensing authority, which has the authority to impose adverse action on licenses issued by that state. A member state may also participate with other member states in joint investigations of a licensee. The member states shall report licensure data along with any adverse action and significant investigative information to the data system established in the Compact. Additionally, the Compact creates the Interstate Massage Compact Commission ("Commission"), which is a joint government agency of member states with the power to administer and implement the Compact. Each member state shall be entitled to one delegate, who shall be selected by the state's licensing authority for massage therapists and who shall be the primary administrative officer of the state's licensing authority or their designee. The Commission shall meet at least once a year. Additionally, there shall be an Executive Committee, composed of seven voting members and two ex-officio members, to act on behalf of the Commission, including on day-to-day activities related to the administration of the Compact. The Commission may levy and collect an annual assessment from each member state and impose fees on licensees to whom it grants a mutlistate license to cover the costs of the operations and activities of the Commission and its staff. Members, officers, executive directors, employees, and representatives of the Commission shall be immune from liability, both personally and in their official capacity, for any claim for damages arising out of any acts or omissions that occurred within the scope of the Commission's employment, duties, or responsibilities, except for those damages caused by intentional or willful or wanton misconduct. The procurement of insurance by the Commission shall not limit such immunity. For any actions by or against the Commission, venue is proper in a court of competent jurisdiction where the principal office of the Commission is located. Furthermore, the Compact shall come into effect on the date in which the seventh state enacts the Compact into law. Any member state may withdraw from the Compact by repealing the Compact, but such withdrawal shall not take effect until 180 days after the enactment of the repeal. If a state defaults in the performance of its obligations or responsibilities under the Compact or its rules, the Commission, after notifying state officials and upon a majority vote of the Commission, may terminate membership of the defaulting state. Finally, the Compact shall be binding upon participating states and shall supersede any conflict with state law. However, nothing in the Compact shall prevent or inhibit the enforcement of any other law of a member state that is not inconsistent with the Compact. This act is identical to HB 3262 (2026) and is similar to HB 3458 (2026). KATIE O'BRIENdied on adjournment

SB 1738 — SB 1738- This act creates the offense of tampering with an election official. A person commits the offense of tampering with an election official if, with the purpose to harass or intimidate an election official in the performance of such official's official duties, such person: • Threatens or causes harm to such election official or members of such election official's family; • Uses force, threats, or deception against or toward such election official or members of such election official's family; • Attempts to induce, influence, or pressure an election official or members of an election official's family to violate Missouri election law; • Engages in conduct reasonably calculated to harass or alarm such election official or such election official's family, including stalking; • Disseminates through any means, including by posting on the internet, the personal information of an election official or any member of an election official's family. The offense of tampering with an election official shall be a class one election offense, punished by imprisonment of not more than five years or by fine of not less than two thousand five hundred dollars but not more than ten thousand dollars or by both such imprisonment and fine. If a violation of this provision results in death or bodily injury to an election official or a member of the official's family, the offense shall be a class B felony.

SB 1794 — SB 1794 - This act modifies several provisions relating to long-term care facilities. Under current law, a certificate of need is not required for transfer of ownership of an existing and operational health facility in its entirety. This act requires a certificate of need for any such transfer of an assisted living, intermediate care, residential, or skilled nursing facility. This act modifies requirements for licensure of long-term care facilities by requiring applications to disclose all facility owners, trustees, and companies that provide the facility or operator with administrative, clinical, and financial services, including real estate investment trusts. Finally, this act requires assisted living facilities to maintain, on a 24-hour basis, registered nurses on site providing care for a specified amount of time per day, as well as certified nursing assistants providing care for a specified amount of time per day. The facilities shall submit information to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) according to federal regulations. The Department of Health and Senior Services may impose appropriate sanctions and penalties on a facility administrator who fails to meet the minimum staffing standards two quarters in a row. An assisted living facility may be exempted from these minimum staffing requirements if a verifiable hardship exists, such as an insufficient workforce supply in the area, an inability to recruit and retain appropriate personnel, and documentation of the amount of financial resources that the facility expends on nurse staffing relative to revenue. A facility that has been cited for insufficient staffing resulting in actual harm, as described in the act, in the prior twelve months or that has failed to submit required data to CMS shall not be eligible for an exemption under this provision. Finally, the assisted facility shall designate a registered professional nurse as the director of nursing on a full-time basis and designate a registered professional nurse to serve as a charge nurse for each nursing shift. This act is identical to SB 733 (2025) and HB 789 (2025). SARAH HASKINSdied on adjournment

SJR 120 — SJR 120 - This constitutional amendment creates the "Stop Socialism Act". This constitutional amendment, if approved by the voters, prohibits any county from receiving a proportion of total state general revenue appropriations, as defined in the amendment, in excess of the county's proportional contribution of total state income and state sales taxes received by the state for any given fiscal year. Total state general revenue appropriations shall be deemed to be allocated to a county if such moneys are directly appropriated to such county or to a political subdivision within such county, or are in any other way distributed through an agency of the state to any resident taxpayer of such county. If in any given fiscal year a county receives less than its proportional share of total state general revenue appropriations, the difference shall be refunded to the residents of such county pro rata based on state income tax returns filed following the close of such fiscal year. This amendment is identical to SJR 47 (2023). JOSH NORBERGdied on adjournment

SB 1771 — SB 1771 - This act creates provisions relating to the dissolution or disincorporation of special road districts. As an alternative to the dissolution special road districts provided in current law, special road districts may be dissolved by petition of the board of commissioners, or other governing authority of such district, to the superior court of the county in which the board of commissioners is situated. The superior court shall enter an order setting the same for hearing and the petitioner shall give notice of such hearing. Such notice is described in the act. After the hearing, the court shall enter its order dissolving or refusing to dissolve said district. If the court finds that the district is solvent, the court shall order the sale of such assets in the manner provided by law for the sale of property on execution. If the court finds that the district is insolvent, the court shall determine the indebtedness of the district, the creditors thereof, and their claims. The court shall also set a date and place for a second hearing to order the sale of any district property to satisfy the debts of the district and order the dissolution or refusal to dissolve the district. Special road districts located in Cass County may be disincorporated when the district has not actively carried out any of the special purposes or functions for which it was formed within the preceding consecutive five-year period upon a resolution of any governmental unit calling for the disincorporation with the county commission. The county commission shall hold public hearings to determine whether or not any services have been provided within a consecutive five year period and whether the best interests of all persons concerned will be served by the proposed dissolution or disincorporation of the special road district. If the county commission finds that the special road district be dissolved, it shall order that such action be taken, specify the manner in which it is to be accomplished and supervise the liquidation of any assets and the satisfaction of any outstanding indebtedness. Any proceeds of the sale of assets, together with money on hand in the treasury of the special district, shall after payment of all costs and expenses and all outstanding indebtedness be paid to the county treasurer to be placed to the credit of the school district, or districts, in which such special road district is situated. If the proceeds of the sale, together with money on hand in the treasury of the special road district, are insufficient to retire any outstanding indebtedness, the county authority shall levy assessments in the manner provided by law against the property in the special road district in amounts sufficient to retire the indebtedness and pay the costs and expenses.
