SB 1370 — SCS/SB 1370 - This act modifies the "Workforce Diploma Program" and establishes provisions regarding adult eligibility for virtual school courses and programs. Under this act, an adult student may enroll in any state-approved virtual course or full-time virtual program offered by a school district or a public institution of higher education. Adult students are also eligible to enroll in the Missouri Course Access and Virtual School Program. An "adult student" is defined as a Missouri resident over 21 years of age who has not yet earned a high school diploma but is within 12 academic credits or 2 school years of achieving such a diploma. An adult virtual program shall be entitled to a monthly allocation of state aid for adult students in an amount equal to 14% of the state adequacy target per completed course. However, an adult virtual program shall not be entitled to a school district's ordinary school revenue, including local effort revenue, and any state aid allocated to an adult virtual program shall not count toward the constitutional minimum amount of state aid required for the establishment of free public schools in this state. The total amount of funding provided for an adult student enrolled in a virtual program shall not exceed the state adequacy target. No school district with an adult student enrolled in an adult virtual program shall be required to report such adult student's information for purposes of annual performance reports or as required for full-time, school-age virtual students under current law. (Section 161.672) The act modifies the "Workforce Diploma Program" by repealing current requirements relating to funding, the qualification process for program providers, and program performance standards, as well as repealing the "Workforce Diploma Program Fund" and the sunset on such program. Rather than being subject to these repealed provisions, a program provider through the Workforce Diploma Program shall be authorized under the act's provisions regarding adult eligibility for virtual school courses and programs. (Section 173.831) This act is substantially similar to HCS/HB 3239 (2026), and is similar to SA#4 to SS/HCS/HBs 2097 & 1905 (2026), HCS/HB 1516 (2025), and to provisions in SCS/SB 1207 (2026), HCS/SS/SB 1196 (2026), and in SS/SCS/HB 2896 (2026).

SB 1247 — SCS/SBs 1247 & 1445 - This act provides that a certified registered nurse anesthetist ("CRNA") may select, issue orders for, and administer certain controlled substances for and while providing anesthesia care to a patient in a licensed facility pursuant to state law. This act shall not be construed as authorizing a CRNA to prescribe such controlled substances and a CRNA shall not be required to obtain a certificate of controlled substance prescriptive authority from the Board of Nursing in order to exercise this prescriptive authority. This act is identical to SB 522 (2025) and SB 545 (2025), is substantially similar to a provision in HB 1981 (2026), in HB 831 (2025), and is similar to a provision in SB 910 (2024), HB 1561 (2024), and HB 1881 (2024).

SB 1022 — SB 1022 - The act modifies provisions relating to self-storage. The act modifies the definitions of "public sale" and "rental agreement". The act changes "owner" to "operator" of the self-service storage facility throughout the language of the act. Under the act, an occupant may not use a self-service storage facility after the operator has delivered a written notice of termination or non-renewal of the rental agreement. The notice shall provide the occupant with no less than 14 days after delivery of the notice to remove all personal property from the self-service storage facility. Prior to removal of personal property, the operator may place reasonable restrictions on the occupant's use of the self-service storage facility, as described in the act. The operator may dispose of any personal property remaining in the self-service storage facility after the date indicated in the written notice. The act repeals a provision relating to the advertisement of the sale of personal property if the occupant is in default. Notices sent to the operator shall be sent to the self-service storage facility where the occupant's property is stored unless another address to send notices to the operator is specified in the rental agreement. The act is identical to HB 2717 (2026). JULIA SHEVELEVAdied on adjournment

SB 1051 — SB 1051 - This act requires all public schools, school districts, and public institutions of postsecondary education to treat discrimination motivated by antisemitism, as such term is defined in the act, in an identical manner to racially motivated discrimination. Schools and institutions shall include antisemitism-related conduct and penalties in their codes of conduct for students, faculty, and employees, as provided in the act, and shall prohibit behaviors that disrupt normal educational activity or create fear or intimidation. Criticism of Israel comparable to that of other countries shall not be considered antisemitism. The act shall not be construed to infringe on First Amendment rights or conflict with existing discrimination laws. The act further provides that no public school or public institution of postsecondary education shall discriminate because of race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, disability, religion, or marital status in any program, admission, class, or service, including counseling and financial aid. While specialized programs, such as programs for gifted or disabled students, are allowed, equal access shall otherwise be maintained. To ensure compliance, each educational institution shall report incidents and complaints of antisemitism to the appropriate Title VI coordinator at either the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) or the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development (DHEWD). If an educational institution fails to resolve issues within 30 days after being notified, the coordinator may escalate the matter to federal authorities. An annual report of these activities shall be submitted to the General Assembly by July 1 each year. This act is similar to SS/HB 2061 (2026), HB 2393 (2026), HB 746 (2025), and provisions in HCS/SS/SB 38 (2025) and in HCS/HB 937 (2025). OLIVIA SHANNONdied on adjournment

SB 1054 — SB 1054 - This act modifies provisions relating to retirement. TIER 2011 (Section 104.1091) Currently, a vested former member or a former member who is not vested may request a refund of his or her contributions and interest from the Missouri State Employees' Retirement System (MOSERS) or the Missouri Department of Transportation and Highway Patrol Retirement System (MPERS). This act provides that for a former member who is not vested, the system shall refund such member's contributions and interest credited thereon if the total amount is $1,000 or less, or such other amount as may be permitted under federal law, provided that: (1) The relevant system's procedures try to locate such member from time to time and after the application of such procedures such refund is returned to the system, the refund shall be considered abandoned property; and (2) Provisions regarding the payment of contributions from a system's fund following the reversion of accumulated contributions standing to a member's credit that are unclaimed by such member for a period of four years or more to the system's fund shall not apply to these refunds. This provision is identical to SB 1557 (2026), a provision in HCS/SB 1572 (2026), and HB 2198 (2026). DEFERRED COMPENSATION (Section 105.915) This act provides that the election to defer compensation by the employees of the state of Missouri shall be made at the beginning of the payroll period, rather than the month, for which the compensation is paid and contributions shall begin on the pay period beginning after such election. Beginning July 1, 2027, this act provides that the deferred compensation plan shall provide for automatic increases for certain employees participating or eligible to participate in the deferred compensation plan. The increase shall commence with the first payroll period following the employee's one year anniversary date of employment or re-employment with the state, whichever is later. The deferral amount shall increase annually by .5% until the amount reaches 10% of compensation or the limitation imposed under federal law, whichever is less. Employees who are automatically increased may elect to change the contribution rate in accordance with the terms of the plan. This provision is identical to a provision in SB 1559 (2026).

SB 1551 — SB 1551 - This act authorizes any third class city with a city manager form of government to impose a transient guest tax at a rate not to exceed 5%.

After the payment of initial bonds, the governing body of the city may submit the question of repealing the transient guest tax to the voters. This act is identical to HB 2595 (2026) and to a provision in SCS/HCS/HB 1790 (2026) and HCS/HB 2431 (2026). JOSH NORBERGdied on adjournment
