SB 1484 — SCS/SB 1484 - This act modifies provisions relating to public contracts. Current law allows the Commissioner of Administration to contract directly with other governmental entities for the purchase of supplies. This act additionally allows the Commissioner to contract with nonprofit entities for the purchase of supplies. Current law provides procedures for how a political subdivision may enter into a contract for a design-build project. This act establishes procedures for political subdivisions to enter into progressive design-build contracts. A progressive design-build project is one in which the design, construction, alteration, addition, remodeling, or improvement of any buildings or facilities is under one, progressive contract with a political subdivision, including civil works projects, such as roads, streets, bridges, utilities, airport runways and taxiways, storm drainage and flood control projects, or transit projects and noncivil works projects, such as buildings, site improvements, and other structures, habitable or not, commonly designed by architects. Progressive design-build projects are subject to many of the same requirements as are currently applicable to design-build projects except that it is a two-step process rather than a three-step process. Phase I shall consist of the solicitation and evaluation of qualifications of design-builders. Phase II shall consist of the solicitation and evaluation of proposals describing the design-builder's approach to design development, pre-construction services and construction of the project. The political subdivision shall have discretion to disqualify any design-builder who, in the political subdivision's opinion, lacks the minimum qualifications required to perform the work. The provisions of this act relating to progressive design-build projects expire on August 28, 2036. This act is substantially similar to the truly agreed to SCS/HCS/HB 2474 (2026), HB 2899 (2026), and certain provisions in SCS/HB 3000 (2026). SCOTT SVAGERAdied on adjournment

HCS SS# 2 SB 1233 — SS#2/SB 1233 - This act modifies provisions relating to the licensing of certain professionals. ACCOUNTANTS (SECTIONS 326.256 TO 326.292) This act modifies the requirements for licensing of accountants. This act provides that an applicant for examination shall provide proof that the applicant has obtained a baccalaureate degree or a post-baccalaureate degree, instead of proof of completion of at least 120 semester hours of college education. Additionally, for licensure, the applicant shall either hold a baccalaureate degree, a baccalaureate degree and 30 additional semester hours of college education, or a post-baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university recognized by the Missouri State Board of Accountancy ("Board") with the total educational program including a Board-appropriate accounting concentration or equivalent. If the applicant has a baccalaureate degree, the applicant shall have two years of experience. If the applicant has a baccalaureate degree and 30 additional semester hours of college education or a post-baccalaureate degree, the applicant shall have at least one year of experience. This act also repeals the eligibility for examination if the applicant expects to meet the educational requirements within 60 days. This act changes the educational and examination requirements for reciprocity of those individuals whose principal place of business, domicile, or residency is not in this state and who hold a valid and unrestricted public accounting license in another state. Current law provides that such non-Missouri individuals shall have all the privileges of licensees without the need to obtain a license, notify or register with the Board, or pay a fee if the license has been determined by the Board to be in substantial equivalence with the Missouri licensure requirements or if the individual's qualifications are substantially equivalent to Missouri licensure requirements. This act provides that a non-Missouri individual, whose license is in good standing, shall have all the privileges of a licensee without the need to obtain a license, notify or register with the Board, or pay a fee if the individual was required to show proof of passage of the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination and the educational and experience requirements of Missouri licensees. Additionally, non-Missouri individuals, whose licenses are in good standing to practice public accountancy from any state as of December 31, 2024, and who has practice privileges in this state as of December 31, 2024, shall continue to have such privileges. Rather than receiving verification on substantial equivalence of an individual's qualifications from the NASBA National Qualification Appraisal Service, the Board may license a person whose qualifications the Board verifies to be comparable to the Missouri licensure requirements. Sole practitioners or single member LLCs that use "certified public accountant," "CPA," or other abbreviations, but that do not offer nor perform attest services or other services subject to peer review may request exemption from the Board for the firm permit requirements. This act provides that the rules regarding peer review shall include reasonable provision for compliance by a firm showing that it has undergone a peer review that is comparable, rather than satisfactory equivalent, to peer review generally required under current law within three years. Lastly, the Board may charge a fee for oversight of peer reviews, provided that the fee charged shall be comparable, rather than substantially equivalent, to the cost of oversight. These provisions are identical to provisions in the perfected HCS/HB 1797 (2026). SOCIAL WORK SUPERVISORS (SECTION 337.600) This act modifies the definitions of a "qualified advanced macro supervisor," "qualified baccalaureate supervisor," and "qualified clinical supervisor" to provide that such person is a licensed social worker who has practiced social work for which he or she is supervising the applicant for a minimum of three, instead of five, years. This provision is identical to SB 1092 (2026), SB 1417 (2026), HB 1963 (2026), SB 479 (2025), and SB 563 (2025) and is substantially similar to HB 886 (2025). SPEECH PATHOLOGISTS AND AUDIOLOGISTS (SECTION 345.050) This act modifies the requirements for licensure as a speech pathologist or audiologist by providing for completion of a clinical fellowship under the direct supervision of a licensed speech-language pathologist in good standing, rather than under the direct supervision of a person licensed by the state of Missouri in the profession in which the applicant seeks to be licensed. This provision is identical to a provision in SB 1405 (2026), HCS/HB 2372 (2026), in HCS/SS/SB 7 (2025), in the perfected SS/SB 61 (2025), in the perfected HCS/HB 268 (2025), SB 431 (2025), in the perfected HB 478 (2025), in HB 765 (2025), and in SCS/HB 834 (2025), and is substantially similar to the perfected HB 2591 (2026). SEVERABILITY (SECTION 1) In the event that any section, provision, clause, phrase, or word of this act or the application of the act is declared invalid under the Constitution of the United States or the Constitution of the State of Missouri, the General Assembly intends for the severability of this act.

SS SB 889 — SS/SB 889 - This act repeals a number of expired, terminated, sunset, and obsolete statutes and references to such statutes contained in another statutes. Many provisions of this act are identical to HRB 1 (2024) which is a bill prepared by the Joint Committee on Legislative Research as required by current law. These provisions are similar to SCS/SB 757 (2025). The act additionally repeals the Missouri Economic Diversification and Afforestation Act of 1990. These provisions are identical to SB 790 (2025). Currently, a local board of education for a school district shall establish a written policy of discipline that includes the district's determination on the use of corporal punishment. This act repeals the provisions on the use of corporal punishment. Further, the act repeals a provision of current law that states that spanking, when administered by certified school personnel and in the presence of a school district employee, is not considered child abuse. Further, this act repeals a number of provisions of law concerning the acquisition of one insurance company by another, the payment of dividends by insurance companies, required deposits by life insurance companies; assessment plan life insurance and stipulated premium plan life insurance, mutual insurance companies other than for life and fire, and required cash reserves for reciprocal or interinsurance exchanges.

Under this act, the Missouri Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing shall establish a statewide communication access services program to improve compliance with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act for agencies and businesses by coordinating resources, filling service gaps, and assisting with costs related to accommodations. The Commission shall develop a statewide registry of service providers, establish training and equipment standards, maintain an informational website, provide training, conduct outreach, and submit an annual report to the Governor and General Assembly, as described in the act. The Commission shall also, subject to appropriation, finance requests for assistance in providing communication access services and administer scholarships for professional development, internships, and certification testing. This provision is identical to SB 1637 (2026) and similar to SB 766 (2025). This act creates the "Charity Act" and the "Charity" program. The act requires the Department of Social Services to coordinate with various state agencies and a partner network to assist participants in achieving personal goals, self-sufficiency, community integration, and a prosperous future. Participation in the Charity program is limited to legal residents who are 18 years of age or older, except as otherwise provided in the act. State departments and agencies are required to participate in the Charity program at the direction of the Governor. In order to use government resources more effectively and efficiently, participating state departments and agencies shall use existing resources and personnel, to the extent possible, to operate the Charity program.
