SB 1229 — SB 1229 - This act enacts provisions relating to health insurance coverage of maternity services. HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE OF MIDWIVES (Section 376.1755) This act requires that certain health benefit plans providing coverage for maternity services shall provide coverage for health care services provided by a midwife, as defined in the act. The act further enacts provisions relating to cost-sharing requirements, requires reimbursement for services lawfully provided by midwives as well as physicians, and specifies that terminology in a health benefit plan subject to the act which is deemed to discriminate against midwifery or to inhibit reimbursement for midwifery services at the in-network rate shall be void and unenforceable. (Section 376.1755). These provisions are identical to provisions in SB 260 (2025), SB 1238 (2024), SB 1222 (2024), SB 713 (2023), HB 900 (2023), and HB 1148 (2023). HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE OF DOULA SERVICES (Section 376.1758) The act directs the Department of Health and Senior Services to promulgate rules for registration allowing a "doula", as defined in the act, to receive reimbursement for doula services. The act shall not be construed to prohibit any person from practicing as a doula, regardless of registration with the Department. (Section 376.1758). These provisions are identical to provisions in SB 260 (2025), similar to HB 890 (2025), and identical to provisions in SB 1238 (2024), SB 1222 (2024), SB 713 (2023), HB 900 (2023), and HB 1148 (2023).

Members of the Bureau shall be paid from funds designated as administrative within the State Lottery Fund.

The initial license shall be for a period of one year. Thereafter, the license renewal period shall be four years with the applicable license renewal fee paid for each year such license is renewed, as described in the act. In addition to such license fees, video lottery game operators shall pay the Commission an annual administrative fee of $1,000 for each video lottery game terminal placed in service. No license shall be issued to any person who has been convicted of a felony or crime involving illegal gambling. (Section 313.429.3) Video lottery game operators and video lottery game retailers shall enter into a use agreement for the placement of video lottery game terminals, as described in the act.

(Section 313.429.4) Video lottery game operators shall pay winning tickets using a video lottery game ticket redemption terminal, which shall be located within the video lottery game retailer's establishment in direct proximity of where such video lottery games are offered.

(Section 313.431) Participation in the state lottery under this act shall not be construed to be a lottery or gift enterprise in violation of Article III, Section 39 of the Constitution of Missouri. (Section 313.433) This act allows municipalities and counties to adopt ordinances permitting or prohibiting video lottery game terminals within the municipality or the unincorporated area of the county.

SB 858 — SB 858 - This act amends the sections of law which were declared unconstitutional in United States v. Missouri. This act creates the "Second Amendment Preservation Act", and lists various declarations of the Missouri General Assembly regarding the United States Constitution and the scope of the federal government's authority. In addition, the act declares that federal supremacy does not apply to federal laws that restrict or prohibit the manufacture, ownership, and use of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition within the state because such laws exceed the scope of the federal government's authority. Laws necessary for the regulation of the land and the United States Armed Forces are excluded from the types of federal firearms laws that exceed federal authority. Under this act, no public officer or state or local employee has the authority to enforce federal firearms laws against law abiding citizens. However, state employees may accept aid from federal officials in an effort to enforce Missouri laws. Sovereign immunity shall not be an affirmative defense under this act. Any political subdivision or law enforcement agency that employs a law enforcement officer who acts knowingly to deprive a Missouri citizen of certain rights or privileges ensured by the federal and state constitutions, or that knowingly employs a person who has acted under color of federal law to enforce or give material aid to enforce federal firearm laws, shall be subject to a civil penalty of $50,000 per employee hired by the law enforcement agency. In such an action attorney's fees and costs may be awarded. Additionally, a person shall have standing to pursue an action for injunctive relief in the circuit court of the county in which the action allegedly occurred or in the circuit court of Cole County. The court shall hold a hearing on the motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction within 30 days of service of the petition. It shall not be a violation of this act to provide aid to federal officials who are in pursuit of a suspect when there is a demonstrable criminal nexus with another state or county and the suspect is not a citizen of this state or is not present in this state. It shall not be a violation of this act to aid a federal prosecution for felony crimes involving a weapons violation against a person or for felony crimes involving a weapons violation and a controlled substance violation if such violation is a class A or B felony. The provisions of this act shall be applicable to offenses occurring on or after August 28, 2026. This act contains a severability clause. This act is identical to HCS/HB 1175 (2025), similar to HB 3070 (2026), HB 3130 (2026), SCS/SB 23 (2025) and the truly agreed to and finally passed SCS/HCS/HBs 85 & 310 (2021).

TECHNOLOGY TRUST FUND (Various Sections) Several provisions in current law allow the Secretary of State (SOS) to collect an additional $5 fee on fees for filings relating to business organizations, commercial transactions, and trademarks, names, and private emblems to be credited to the state's technology trust fund. These provisions are set to expire on December 31, 2026. This act extends the expiration date to December 31, 2030. This act is identical to the perfected HB 770 (2025) and similar to provisions in HCS/HB 2125 (2026), HCS/SS#2/SCS/SB 10 (2025), and SB 570 (2025). PRECINCT CODES (Sections 115.008 and 115.283) The act requires the Secretary of State (SOS) to establish a unique identification coding system for all precincts in the state resulting in unique identification codes for each precinct in the state. Such system shall be based upon the Federal Information Processing Standards codes issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Election authorities shall be responsible for implementing the unique identification coding system for all precincts within its jurisdiction in compliance with the format set out by the SOS. Additionally, all statements that are attached to an absentee ballot envelope shall contain the precinct code that corresponds to the voter's voting address. This provision is identical to a provision in SB 362 (2025). VOTER REGISTRATION LIST PUBLISHED (Section 115.157) The act requires the SOS to publish a voter registration list on the Secretary's website containing only the following information for each person registered to vote as of the 4th Wednesday prior to the election: unique voter identification numbers, voters' names, year of birth, addresses, townships or wards, and precincts. Such list shall be published not later than the 3rd Wednesday prior to the election. This provision is identical to a provision in SB 362 (2025). DELIVERY OF VOTE ABSTRACTS TO SECRETARY OF STATE (Section 115.507) Current law requires verification boards to deliver to the Secretary of State the abstract of votes given in its jurisdiction by polling place or precinct for each primary and general election. This act requires the abstract to include both regular votes and absentee votes aggregated together and additionally requires reporting to be based solely by precinct. This provision is identical to a provision in SB 362 (2025). SCOTT SVAGERAdied on adjournment
