SB 1657 — SCS/SB 1657 - This act modifies provisions regarding the St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners. Under current law the Board has the authority to pay additional compensation to sergeants and above provided that the funding is not paid from the general funds of either the city or the Board. This act allows for the payment of additional compensation to lieutenants and above if the Board determines such additional compensation is appropriate, and repeals the part of the provision to that prohibits the use of general funds. Currently, the Board cannot transfer appropriated funds from one line item to another. This act repeals this provision and provides that the Board has the authority to adopt and certify its budget. There shall be no transfer from one character classification of expenditure in the Board budget to another character classification without the approval of the Board. Under current law, the Governor appoints a transition director to ensure an orderly transition of control of the St. Louis police force from the city to the Board of Police Commissioners. This act extends the implementation period from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027. Upon the assumption of control by the Board, this act provides that the Board, rather than the state, shall be responsible for any contractual obligations of the police department. This act is similar to SB 1491 (2026), and HB 3066 (2026) . TRISTAN BENSON, JR.died on adjournment

SB 1682 — SB 1682 - Under this act, any person who acquires, uses, produces, possesses, transfers, or administers psilocybin for the person's own therapeutic use shall not be subject to state or local criminal or civil penalties if the person is a veteran or first responder and is 21 years of age or older and suffers from a condition listed in the act. The person shall be enrolled in a study regarding the use of psilocybin to treat such conditions and shall provide the Department of Mental Health with specified information. A facilitator shall be present during the administration of the psilocybin and the use of psilocybin shall be limited to no more than 150 milligrams of psilocybin analyte during any 12-month period. A person who assists another in any of the acts permitted under this act and any laboratory testing psilocybin under this act shall not be subject to state or local criminal or civil penalties. Subject to appropriation, the Department shall provide grants totaling $2 million dollars for research on the use and efficacy of psilocybin for the treatment of conditions listed in the act. The Department shall prepare annual reports for the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and the General Assembly on the implementation and outcomes of psilocybin use under this act. No state agency shall disclose to the federal government or any unauthorized third party the statewide list or any individual information of persons who meet the requirements of this act. Additionally, this act modifies current law on the use of investigational drugs and devices for individuals with terminal illnesses to include individuals with life-threatening or severely debilitating conditions or illnesses. Currently, investigational drugs shall not include Schedule I controlled substances. This act repeals that prohibition. This provision is substantially similar to SB 1454 (2026). Finally, this act requires the Department of Mental Health, in collaboration with a Missouri university hospital or contract research organizations conducting FDA-approved trials, to conduct a study on the efficacy of using alternative medicine and therapies, including, but not limited to, the use of psilocybin, for the treatment of veterans and first responders suffering post-traumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder, substance use disorders, or who require end-of-life care, as described in the act. Such study shall include a study of the use of psilocybin to treat such conditions, as well as a literature review and the submission of various reports. No person participating in the study shall be subject to criminal or civil liability or sanction for participating, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct. This act is identical to SB 1767 (2026), substantially similar to SCS/HCS/HBs 1717 & 1643 (2026) and provisions in SCS/HS/HCS/HBs 3068 & 3049 (2026), and similar to SCS/SB 90 (2025), SCS/SB 768 (2024), HCS/HB 1830 (2024), HB 1154 (2023), and SB 614 (2023).

The tax credit may be claimed against the taxpayer's income tax liability or sales tax liability. (Section 620.2021) The act authorizes a city to establish a Missouri Opportunity Zone, which shall be conterminous with the innovation district boundaries. A taxpayer may elect to defer payment of state income taxes if such income tax liability is invested in a qualified Missouri Opportunity Zone investment, as defined in the act. This act shall sunset on August 28, 2036, unless reauthorized by the General Assembly. This act is substantially similar to provisions in SS#2/SCS/HCS/HBs 3231 & 2531 (2026).

SB 1667 — SB 1667 - This act creates new provisions relating to the bargaining process over labor agreements between public labor organizations and public bodies. Within 30 days after a labor organization has been designated as the exclusive bargaining representative for the public employees in a bargaining unit the bargaining process must begin with representatives of the public body and representatives of the labor organization meeting and bargaining in good faith, as that term is defined in the act, for an agreement covering the wages, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment for the public employees within the bargaining unit. The labor organization and the public body shall engage in good faith bargaining with each other's designated representatives. In the event that an agreement cannot be reached within 180 days after a labor organization is designated as exclusive bargaining representative for the public employees in a bargaining unit, the dispute shall be referred to mediation. If, after 90 days, mediation has not been successful then the matter shall be referred to arbitration as described below. At any time during the bargaining process, if either the labor organization or the public body determines an impasse has been reached over wages, benefits, hours, or other terms and conditions of employment, the party may submit the matter to interest arbitration. If the parties agree that an impasse has been reached, within seven days of such decision the public body and labor organization shall attempt to agree upon an impartial arbitrator to resolve the impasse. If an arbitrator cannot be agreed upon within such time period then the party that made the initial determination of impasse shall request a panel of seven arbitrators from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services or the American Arbitration Association in the event that Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services cannot produce a panel of seven arbitrators. The parties shall alternate striking from the panel one arbitrator at a time until a single arbitrator is left, with the party that made the initial determination of impasse striking first. Once an arbitrator has been selected, the parties shall proceed to present their arguments. Within 45 days the arbitrator shall submit its decision. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding upon the parties, provided that any provision that would require the enactment of law for its implementation shall not be binding until such time as the law is enacted. If, at any time during the bargaining process for an initial contract or for successor contracts, either the labor organization or public body believes the opposing party has engaged in bad faith bargaining in violation of this act it may submit the matter to the State Board of Mediation for determination. If the Board determines a party has engaged in bad faith bargaining in violation of this act it shall refer the matter to interest arbitration in accordance with this act. At no time after a labor organization has been designated as the exclusive bargaining representative for the public employees in a bargaining unit or after an agreement covering the wages, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment for public employees within a bargaining unit has expired shall the public body make any unilateral changes to wages, benefits, or other terms and conditions of employment subject to mandatory bargaining. Any such unilateral changes shall be considered a failure to bargain in good faith. In the event that the labor organization believes that the public body has made unilateral changes to wages, benefits, or other terms and conditions of employment subject to mandatory bargaining, the labor organization may seek declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and monetary damages arising from the unlawful unilateral change in an appropriate state or federal court. This act is substantially similar to SB 1529 (2026), SS/SCS/HB 1644, as amended (2026), and the perfected HCS/HBs 3283 & 3306 (2026). SCOTT SVAGERAdied on adjournment

SB 1695 — SB 1695 - Current law provides that the interviews, memoranda, proceedings, findings, deliberations, reports, and minutes of peer review committees for health care professionals, or the existence of such, concerning the health care provided to any patient are privileged and shall not be subject to discovery nor admissible into evidence. This act modifies the provision to provide that the memoranda, findings, deliberations, and reports of peer review committees concerning the health care provided to any individual identifiable patient are privileged and may not be admissible into evidence. This act repeals the provision prohibiting or requiring the disclosure of information acquired in connection with or in the course of a peer review committee from persons in attendance. Currently, information otherwise discoverable or admissible from original sources is not to be construed as immune merely because it was presented during peer review committee proceedings nor shall certain persons be prevented from testifying as to matters within his personal knowledge, but such witness cannot be questioned about testimony or other proceedings before any health care review committee or about opinions formed as a result of such committee hearings. This act instead provides that such information otherwise discoverable or admissible may not be construed as immune merely because it was presented, discovered, or considered during peer review committee proceedings nor shall certain persons be prevented from testifying as to matters in accordance with the rules of evidence, but such witness cannot be questioned about opinions formed solely as a result of such committee hearings. Furthermore, this act repeals the provision regarding the effect of disclosure of information from peer review committees to any person or entity on the confidentiality, discovery, or admissibility of such information.
