HCS/SS#2/SB 1233 - This act modifies provisions relating to activities requiring licensure. INTERIOR DESIGNERS (SECTIONS 324.001, 324.028, 327.011, 327.031, 327.041, 327.081, 327.381, 327.411, 327.442, 327.451, 327.700, 327.705, 327.710, 327.720, 327.725, 327.730, 327.735, 327.740, 327.745, 327.750, 537.033 & 621.045 AND THE REPEAL OF SECTIONS 324.406, 324.412, 324.421, 324.424 & 324.436) This act modifies the registration of interior designers from the Division of Professional Registration with advice and recommendations by the Interior Design Council to the licensing of interior designers from the Missouri Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional Land Surveyors, Professional Landscape Architects, and Licensed Interior Designers ("Board"). The Board shall increase from fifteen members to seventeen members with the two new members being licensed interior designers. The Interior Design Council and the Interior Design Council Fund shall be abolished upon the appointment by the Governor and confirmation by the Senate of the licensed interior designer members of the Board. The rules of the Interior Design Council shall be deemed adopted by the Board until revised, amended, or repealed, of which such action shall be taken on or before January 1, 2027. The funds in the Interior Design Council Fund shall be transferred to the State Board of Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional Land Surveyors, Professional Landscape Architects, and Licensed Interior Designers Fund. Additionally, this act defines the practice of licensed interior design and provides that a licensed interior designer shall undertake to perform licensed interior design services only when he or she is qualified by education, training, and experience in the specific technical areas involved. Furthermore, licensed interior designers shall be in responsible charge of interior design technical submissions that can affect the health, safety, and welfare of the public within their scope of practice. Licensed interior designers shall not take responsible charge over interior technical submissions prepared by another person unless the licensed interior designer actually exercises personal supervision and direct control over such interior technical submissions. This act modifies the educational and training requirements for licensed interior designers by repealing the qualification of at least three years of an interior design curriculum from an accredited institution with three years of experience. Additionally, an applicant shall be exempt from providing substantial evidence of certain educational and training qualifications if his or her curriculum or transcript has been approved by the Board. Nothing in this act shall be construed as precluding an architect from performing any of the services within the practice of licensed interior design. Current law provides that a renewal or reinstatement application for registration as an interior designer shall be accompanied by proof of completion of continuing education in the fields of either interior design or architecture. This act repeals such provision and provides that the Board shall establish the continuing education requirements for interior designers which shall be substantially equivalent to the continuing education requirements for architects. Finally, this act includes licensed interior designers in the definition of "design professional" for immunity from civil liability for participation in a peer review process. This act contains a delayed effective date for the repeal of the Interior Design Council and the Interior Design Fund, which shall become effective upon notification to the Revisor of the appointment of the interior designer members of the Board by the Director of the Division of Professional Regulation. These provisions are identical to provisions in the perfected SS/SB 895 (2026), SS/SCS/SB 991 (2026), in HCS/SS/SB 1083 (2026), HCS/HB 2353 (2026), and are similar to provisions in SB 287 (2025), HB 566 (2025), SB 1325 (2024), and HB 2158 (2024). NONRENEWABLE TEMPORARY LICENSES (SECTION 324.004) Under this act, any person who has at least three years of work experience in an occupation or profession in another state or the District of Columbia that does not use a license to regulate that occupation or profession may submit an application for a non-renewable, two-year temporary license in Missouri to the relevant oversight body. A person shall submit proof of experience in the occupation or profession and proof of citizenship or lawful presence in the United States, except as provided. Within 45 days of receiving the application, the oversight body shall make a determination of qualification. The oversight body shall require an applicant to take and pass a profession-specific examination and may require an examination specific to Missouri laws. If the applicant is not residing in Missouri, the oversight body shall conditionally approve the application. If an applicant fails to provide proof of domicile in Missouri within 60 days of receipt of temporary license, the oversight body may terminate the temporary license and the applicant may reapply for the temporary license. Upon expiration of the temporary license, individuals shall be required to apply for a permanent license, consistent with the licensure and application requirements of that license as set forth in statute and rule. A license issued under this act shall not be qualified for reciprocity with another state or as part of an interstate compact. The provisions of this act shall not apply to certain specified professions. This provision is identical to a provision in SS/SB 895 (2026), in HCS/SS/SB 1083 (2026), and in HCS/SB 1092 (2026) and is similar to a provision in HCS/HB 2300 (2026), in SS/SB 61 (2025) and in the perfected HB 478 (2025), SB 817 (2024), in HCS/SS#2/SCS/SB 88 (2023), and HB 1900 (2022). LICENSE RECIPROCITY - TELEHEALTH (SECTION 324.009) Those health care providers, who hold a current license issued by another jurisdiction and are licensed in Missouri with a waiver of examination, educational, or experience requirements, shall be deemed to be fully licensed to practice within the profession's scope of practice in Missouri and may provide telehealth services to the same extent and manner as health care providers who receive a license without a waiver. This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/SB 1019 (2026), in HCS/SB 1092 (2026), SB 1691 (2026), in HCS/HB 2300 (2026), in SCS/HCS/HB 2372 (2026), and in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/HCS/HB 2974 (2026). NONRENEWABLE TEMPORARY LICENSES FOR DIETITIANS (SECTION 324.218) This act establishes a temporary license for dietitians. Under the act, an applicant who has not previously taken or passed an examination recognized by the State Committee of Dietitians ("Committee") and who meets the qualifications for licensure as a dietitian may obtain without examination a nonrenewable temporary license by paying a temporary license fee and submitting to the Committee an agreement-to-supervise form that is signed by a licensed dietitian who has agreed to supervise the applicant and has active dietetics practice in this state for a minimum of one year. The temporary license shall expire the date the Committee is notified by the supervising dietitian that the temporary licensee's employment has ceased or within one hundred eighty days of its issuance, whichever occurs first. This act further provides that the supervising dietitian shall not be an immediate family member of the temporary licensee. Additionally, the act requires the supervising dietitian to submit a signed and notarized form attesting that the applicant shall begin employment at a location in this state within seven days of issuance of the temporary license. If the temporary licensee's employment ceases, the supervising dietitian shall notify the Committee within three days. Finally, this act provides that a supervising dietitian shall not supervise more than one temporary licensee at a time. This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/SB 1092 (2026), in SCS/HB 1961 (2026), in the perfected HCS/HB 268 (2025), and in HB 397 (2025), and is substantially similar to a provision in SB 1339 (2026), in SB 412 (2025), in SB 1053 (2024), HB 1666 (2024), in SCS/HB 2280 (2024), HB 845 (2023), and HB 873 (2023). EMERGENCY SUSPENSIONS - MASSAGE THERAPY & CHIROPRACTIC (SECTIONS 324.263 & 331.084) This act provides that the Board of Therapeutic Massage and the Board of Chiropractic Examiners can apply to the Administrative Hearing Commission ("AHC") for an emergency suspension or restriction of a license if the licensee is the subject of a pending criminal indictment, information, or other charge related to the duties and responsibilities of the licensed occupation, and there is reasonable cause to believe that the public health, safety, or welfare is at imminent risk of harm. Within one business day of receiving the complaint, the AHC shall return a service packet, as described in the act, to the board, which shall then serve the licensee within twenty-four hours. Within five days of receipt of the complaint, the AHC shall conduct a review and, if the AHC determines there is reasonable cause for the board's complaint, the AHC shall enter an order of suspension or restriction. The order will be effective upon personal service or delivery of a copy at all of the licensee's addresses on file. The AHC shall then hold an evidentiary hearing on the record within forty-five days of the board's filing, or upon final adjudication of the criminal charges, to determine if the initial order entered by the AHC will continue in effect and whether a cause for discipline exists. If no cause for discipline is found, the AHC shall issue findings and terminate the order for suspension or restriction. If the AHC finds cause for discipline, the AHC shall issue findings and order the suspension or restriction to remain in effect until a disciplinary hearing before the board, which may impose discipline otherwise authorized by state law. Furthermore, this act provides that if the AHC does not grant an initial order, the board shall remove all reference to such emergency suspension or restriction from public records. These provisions are identical to HB 1623 (2026), SB 1647 (2026), provisions in HCS/HB 2300 (2026), HB 58 (2025), in the perfected HCS/HB 268 (2025), in the perfected HB 478 (2025), and in SCS/HB 834 (2025) and contains a provision similar to HB 1549 (2024), a provision in SCS/HCS/HB 2280 (2024), HCS/HB 175 (2023), and HB 1610 (2022). 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 HCS/HB 1797 (2026), provisions in HCS/HB 2300 (2026), and in SCS/HB 2591 (2026). PRACTICE OF DENTISTRY IN CORRECTIONAL CENTERS (SECTION 332.081) Current law provides that no corporation shall practice dentistry unless that corporation is a nonprofit corporation or a professional corporation under Missouri law. This act provides that such provision shall not apply to entities contracted with the state to provide care in correctional centers. This provision is identical to a provision in SCS/SB 841 (2026), in HCS/SB 1092 (2026), HB 1710 (2026), in HB 1847 (2026), in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/SCS/HCS/HB 2372 (2026), in SCS/HB 2591 (2026), in HCS/SS/SB 7 (2025), in the perfected HB 56 (2025), HB 122 (2025), SB 143 (2025), in the perfected HCS/HB 268 (2025), in SCS/SB 317 (2025), SB 548 (2025), in SCS/HCS/HB 943 (2025), in HCS/HB 1505 (2025), in SS/SCS/HCS/HB 1659 (2024), SB 1287 (2024), and HB 2280 (2024). RESPIRATORY CARE LICENSES (SECTIONS 334.870 & 334.880) Currently, an applicant for a respiratory care license is required to submit written evidence of credentials from the cognitive competency testing organization authorized by the Missouri Board for Respiratory Care or current licensure or registration as a respiratory care practitioner in another jurisdiction that meets or exceeds Missouri licensure standards. This act instead provides that the applicant shall submit: (1) An active credential as a registered respiratory therapist through the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC); (2) Current licensure or registration with an active credential as a respiratory care practitioner in another jurisdiction that meets or exceeds Missouri licensure standards; or (3) An active credential as a certified respiratory therapist earned prior to January 1, 2027, through the NBRC. Additionally, this act provides that license renewals shall be subject to random audits to ensure the licensee has an active credential through the NBRC. These provisions are identical to provisions in HCS/SS/SB 1083 (2026) and in SCS/HB 2591 (2026), and are similar to provisions in HCS/HB 2957 (2026). ADMINISTRATION OF CERTAIN INJECTIONS BY NURSE TECHNICIANS OR AIDES (SECTION 335.081) This act provides that licensing laws relating to nursing shall not prohibit the administration of subcutaneous injectable medications by a technician, nurses' aide, or their equivalent, provided the medications are prescribed by a physician for a long-term care resident. This provision is identical to a provision in SB 1528 (2026) in HB 2413 (2026), and in SCS/HB 2591 (2026) and is similar to a provision in SCS/SB 841 (2026) and in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/SCS/HCS/HB 2372 (2026). LENGTH OF SUPERVISION FOR SOCIAL WORKERS (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 a provision in the perfected SS/SB 895 (2026), in HCS/SS/SB 1083 (2026), in HCS/SB 1092 (2026), SB 1417 (2026), HB 1963 (2026), in HCS/HB 2300 (2026), in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/SCS/HCS/HB 2372 (2026), in SCS/HB 2591 (2026), SB 479 (2025), and SB 563 (2025), and is substantially similar to HB 886 (2025). PRACTICE OF PHARMACY - VACCINES (SECTION 338.010) Currently, the practice of pharmacy includes the ordering and administration of vaccines approved or authorized by the FDA, but excludes certain vaccines and those vaccines approved after January 1, 2023. This act instead provides that the practice of pharmacy includes the ordering and administration of certain vaccines approved or authorized by the FDA as of January 1, 2026, but excludes certain vaccines and those vaccines approved by the FDA after January 1, 2026, that are not included by joint rules promulgated by the Board of Pharmacy and the State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts. This provision is substantially similar to a provision in the truly agreed to and finally passed HCS/SS/SCS/SB 878 (2026) and in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/SCS/HCS/HB 2372 (2026) and is similar to a provision in SS/SCS/SB 841 (2026), HB 1976 (2026), and in SCS/HCS/HB 3009 (2026). PHARMACY EMERGENCY RULE WAIVERS (SECTION 338.312) The Board of Pharmacy shall have the authority to waive compliance with any Missouri rule or regulation for pharmacies dispensing, shipping, or delivering prescription drugs into another state or United States territory that is experiencing a declared state disaster or emergency, provided that: (1) The pharmacy is a licensed pharmacy in good standing and is authorized to ship prescription drugs into such state or territory; (2) The pharmacy is responding to a declared state disaster or emergency; (3) The pharmacy complies with all emergency rules and regulations for pharmacies by the state or territory for the duration of the disaster period; (4) The pharmacy complies with all applicable federal laws and regulations; and (5) The waiver applies only to prescription drugs dispensed, shipped, or delivered to residents or health care facilities located within the geographic area specified in the declared state disaster or emergency. This provision is identical to a provision in the truly agreed to and finally passed HCS/SS/SCS/SB 878 (2026), HCS/HB 2300 (2026), in SCS/HCS/HB 2372 (2026), and in HCS/HB 3009 (2026), and is similar to SB 1640 (2026). LICENSURE OF WHOLESALE DRUG DISTRIBUTORS (SECTION 338.333) Under this act, the Board of Pharmacy may permit an out-of-state wholesale drug distributor or third-party logistics provider to be licensed in this state despite not having a license issued by the distributor's or provider's resident state if the distributor or provider has a current and valid drug distributor accreditation from the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. This provision is identical to a provision in SS/SCS/SB 841 (2026), in HCS/HBs 1945 & 2570 (2026), in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/SCS/HCS/HB 2372 (2026), in SCS/HCS/HB 3009 (2026), in SCS/HCS/HB 943 (2025), in HCS/SB 94 (2025), and HB 1465 (2025). RX CARES FOR MISSOURI PROGRAM (SECTION 338.710) This act removes the expiration date of August 28, 2026, from the "RX Cares for Missouri Program".

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 in any state, 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 HCS/SB 1019 (2026), in HCS/SS/SB 1083 (2026), in HCS/SB 1092 (2026), in HCS/HB 2300 (2026), and in SCS/HB 2591 (2026) and is substantially similar to a provision in the perfected SS/SB 895 (2026), SB 1405 (2026), in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/SCS/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).

SS/SCS/SB 905 - This act establishes the Missouri Rangers and creates provisions relating to a training program for the Missouri Rangers. This act requires the POST Commission to establish a training program to be known as the "Missouri Rangers", and shall establish minimum standards for training instructors, training centers, and training programs that focus on preventing and responding to emergency or violent crisis situations in school settings. The arrest powers granted to any person who successfully completes the Missouri Rangers training program shall be limited to property or premises owned, leased, rented, or possessed by the school or school district and firearms offenses. This provision shall not apply to any person who is an active law enforcement officer. The training program shall be established by the POST Commission. The program shall not be longer than one hundred sixty hours, and shall consist of state and federal constitutional and statutory law; firearms training; close quarter combat; implicit and racial bias; active shooter training; defensive tactics; and any other related training deemed necessary by POST.

This act establishes the "No Foreign Laws Act" which prohibits the application and enforceability of any foreign law that denies the parties the fundamental liberties, rights, and privileges guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States or the Constitution of Missouri. Additionally, the act provides that no court shall enforce or apply: (1) A judgment, decree, or arbitration decision if it relies on any foreign law that violates the fundamental rights of any party; (2) A contract or contractual provision choosing foreign law which would result in a violation of fundamental rights; or (3) In certain family law matters, foreign law if inconsistent with fundamental rights or public policy. This act shall not be construed to disapprove or abrogate existing precedent of the Supreme Court of Missouri, to limit adjudication of ecclesiastical matters of a religious organization, to apply to those corporations, partnerships, or associations that voluntarily subject themselves to foreign law or foreign courts, and apply where federal law preempts state law. Additionally, this act provides that no state court, arbitration panel, tribunal, or administrative agency shall transfer any civil action if the transfer would result in the application of foreign law prohibited by this act. This act is substantially similar to HB 3338 (2026) and HB 3346 (2026) and is similar to SB 1372 (2026), SB 1456 (2026), HB 2106 (2026), HCS/HBs 2139 & 2175 (2026), HB 2327 (2026), HB 2507 (2016), SCS/SB 619 (2014), the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/SB 267 (2013), HB 757 (2013), SB 676 (2012), HB 1512 (2012), SB 308 (2011), and SCS/HB 708 (2011).

CCS/HCS/SS/SCS/SB 973 - The act creates and modifies provisions relating to real estate transactions. REAL ESTATE TAXES (Section 140.010 and 141.230) Current law requires a parcel located in certain counties to have unpaid taxes for a period of at least two years prior to the county satisfying such delinquent taxes through judicial foreclosure rather than through sale at auction. This act repeals such two year requirement. (Section 140.010 and 141.230) The act makes technical changes to certain other provisions relating to real estate taxes. These provisions are identical to the provisions in SCS/SB 843 (2026), the perfected SS/SCS/SB 1001(2026) and the perfected HB 2898 (2026). LAND BANKS (Sections 140.981, 140.982, 140.987, 140.994, 141.984) The act provides that a land bank agency shall not own any interest in real estate located outside the municipality or county, instead of the city as currently provided, that established the land bank.

This act provides that the appointment of such directors shall be appointed by the county executive pursuant to the county charter.

(Section 140.987) Currently, a land bank agency shall have power to receive funds from bonds issued by the county or municipality that created the land bank agency for any of its corporate purposes. The act repeals the term "corporate" from this provision. (Section 140.994) Current law allows a land bank agency to purchase a parcel of real property only for the purpose of adding to a parcel already owned by the land bank agency. This act repeals such provision. (Section 141.984) The act makes technical changes to certain other provisions relating to land banks. These provisions are identical to the provisions in SCS/SB 843 (2026), the perfected SS/SCS/SB 1001 (2026) and the perfected perfected HB 2898 (2026). LAND TAX COLLECTION (Sections 141.330, 141.535) Currently, the collector annually may appoint one delinquent land tax clerk in each office maintained by the collector in the county.

Requirements for the disclosure are described in the act. A wholesaler acting as a grantee shall not enter into a contract that transfers an interest in residential real property until both the wholesaler and the property owner sign and date the disclosure. If the wholesaler acting as the grantee fails to make the disclosure before entering into the contract that transfers interest in the property, the owner of the property may cancel the contract at any time before the close of the escrow without penalty and the escrow agent shall disburse any earnest money paid by the wholesaler to the owner within 30 days after the cancellation. Provisions of the act shall not be modified or waived by any agreement.

CCS/HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 835 & 1111 - This act modifies provisions relating to court procedures. INSURER'S LEGAL TITLE TO CLAIM PAID AND ASSIGNMENT OF POST-LOSS INSURANCE BENEFIT (SECTION 379.135) Upon payment by an insurer of all or any part of a claimant's property damage claim, legal title to the portion of the claim paid shall vest in the insurer to the extent of such payment. No assignment or other action by the claimant shall be required for the insurer to enforce its legal title. The claimant shall retain legal title only to that portion of the property damage claim not paid by the insurer. This act prohibits assignment of post-loss benefits under any policy of insurance covering property, including, but not limited to, any right of action against the insurer or any proceeds acquired from the insurer. A person shall not solicit or accept an assignment, in whole or in part, of any post-loss insurance benefit for property damage under a contract of insurance. Any agreement to assign post-loss benefits is null and void. The provisions of this act shall not apply to an assignment, transfer, pledge, or conveyance granted to a financial institution, mortgagee, lienholder, or a subsequent purchaser of the property. A violation of this act shall be considered a level two insurance violation. This provision is substantially similar to a provision in SS/HB 3205 (2026) and in HCS/HB 3328 (2026), and is similar to a provision in SCS/SB 1543 (2026) and in the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/HB 2636 (2026). STATEWIDE COURT AUTOMATION (SECTION 476.055) This act modifies provisions of law related to the Statewide Court Automation Committee ("Committee"). Specifically, this act provides that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Missouri, the Executive Director of the Missouri Office of Prosecution Services, and the Director of the Missouri State Public Defender System shall now serve as ex-officio members. For the House and Senate members on the Committee, one shall be a member of the majority party and one shall be a member of the minority party. Furthermore, the appointed members of the Committee shall serve for terms of two years or until their successors are appointed. Members of the Committee may also be reimbursed from the Statewide Court Automation Fund for actual expenses related to the duties of the Committee. Furthermore, this act provides that the Committee shall maintain, rather than implement, a statewide court automation system. This act also describes "confidential judicial record" for purposes of the offenses related to releasing information from a confidential judicial record as those provided by Missouri Supreme Court Rules. Currently, the Committee is required to file a report on the progress of the statewide court automation system with the chairs of certain House and Senate Committees on the February 1st, May 1st, August 1st, and November 1st of each year. Instead, this act provides that the report shall be filed electronically on January 15th of each year. Lastly, this act removes the expiration of the Committee upon completion of its duties. These provisions are identical to provisions in HCS/SB 945 (2026), in HCS/SB 1067 (2026), and in HCS/HB 3289 (2026). TREATMENT COURTS (SECTION 478.003) This act provides that in each treatment court division without a treatment court administrator or a treatment court commissioner, the court shall employ a treatment court administrator, subject to appropriations or other funds available. If other funds available are used, the source shall reimburse the state for the costs of the salary and benefits of the administrator. This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/SB 945 (2026), in HCS/SB 1067 (2026), and in HCS/HB 3289 (2026) and is similar to HB 3468 (2026). 25TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT (MARIES, PHELPS, PULASKI & TEXAS) - CIRCUIT JUDGES (SECTION 478.700) This act codifies three circuit judges, including the circuit judge approved in the FY2026 appropriation and appointed by the Governor in 2026, in the 25th Judicial Circuit, consisting of the counties of Maries, Phelps, Pulaski & Texas. The circuit judge appointed in 2026 shall serve until January 1, 2029, and then the position shall be filled by an election of a four year term in 2028 and then a full six year term in 2032 and thereafter. This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/SB 945 (2026), in HCS/SB 1067 (2026), in HCS/HBs 2968, 2427 & 3086 (2026), and HB 3229 (2026). ST. LOUIS CITY CIVIL CASE FILING FEE (SECTION 488.426) Currently, any circuit court may collect a civil case filing surcharge of an amount not to exceed $15 for the maintenance of a law library, the county's or circuit's family services and justice fund, or courtroom renovation and technology enhancement. If the circuit court reimburses the state for salaries of family court commissioners or is the circuit court in Jackson County, the surcharge may be up to $20. This act provides that the circuit court in the City of St. Louis may charge a filing surcharge up to $20. This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/SB 945 (2026), in the perfected SS#2/SCS/SB 1023 (2026), in HCS/SB 1067 (2026), in SCS/SB 1468 (2026), in SCS/HB 3000 (2026), SB 18 (2025), in HCS/HB 83 (2025), in SCS/HCS/HB 176 (2025), in SB 352 (2025), in SCS/HCS/HB 615 (2025), SB 800 (2025), in HB 1512 (2024), and in SCS/HCS/HB 2064 & HCS#2/HB 1886 (2024), and is substantially similar to a provision in SCS/SB 897 (2024), SB 1023 (2024), CCS/HCS/SS/SCS/SB 72 (2023), SB 252 (2023), HB 787 (2023), in HCS/HB 986 (2023), in the perfected HCS/HBs 994, 52 & 984 (2023), SB 1209 (2022), HB 1963 (2022), HB 143 (2021), HB 1554 (2020), HB 1224 (2019), in the perfected HCS/HB 1083 (2019), HB 1891 (2018), SB 288 (2017), HB 391 (2017), and SB 812 (2016). ATTACHMENT, EXECUTION, AND GARNISHMENTS (SECTIONS 513.380 TO 525.235) This act modifies provisions relating to attachment, execution, and garnishments. Under current law, whenever an execution against the property of any judgment debtor shall be returned unsatisfied, within five years of the return, the judgment creditor may be entitled to an order by the court rendering such judgment, requiring the judgment debtor to undergo an examination on the ability and means to satisfy the judgment, and in the case of neglect or refusal, issuing a writ of attachment and punishing the judgment debtor for contempt. This act instead provides a judgment creditor shall, upon motion made at any time before the judgment is satisfied of record and presumed paid, be entitled to such orders. Additionally, under current law, a judgment debtor may be granted immunity from prosecution by any prosecuting or circuit attorney for statements made at a judgment debtor's examination. This act instead provides that a judgment debtor shall enjoy full use and derivative immunity and that no testimony in an examination may be used against a witness, except in cases of perjury or for giving false statements. This act changes the maximum value, adjusted annually for inflation, of certain items that are exempt from attachment and execution, including household items, wedding rings and other jewelry, motor vehicles, and mobile homes. This act also modifies the homestead exemption from $15,000 to the aggregate value of $40,000. This act provides that the maximum value for the property that is exempted from attachment and execution and the amount of a homestead exemption shall be adjusted by the Revisor of Statutes every three years beginning April 1, 2029. This act outlines orders of garnishment issued for the purpose of attaching to account funds held by a financial institution, as such term is defined in the act. Such orders shall attach on the date of service, provided that the effective date of service is a banking day and made prior to the business cutoff time, in which case it shall attach the next business day. If an account receives electronic deposits for exempted funds, the attachment date shall be the date and banking day that the financial institution applies for the look-back analysis. Additionally, where there are two or more accounts, the amount may be withheld from any of the accounts belonging to the judgment debtor and attachment dates between the accounts may be different depending on the look-back analysis. If the account is held in joint tenancy with an individual not subject to the order of garnishment, the entire amount shall be withheld and the garnishee shall provide a copy of the order of garnishment to each account holder within two business days. Within 30 days of the date of the attachment of the garnishment, each account holder may file an objection or request of exemption of all or a portion of the account with the issuing court and serve their objection or request on the garnishor and the garnishee. If such objection or request is not resolved within 30 days of the timely filing of the objection or request of exemption, the garnishee may pay the garnished funds to the circuit court to be held for pending resolution. The return date for orders of garnishment shall not be less than 30 days from the effective date of service. This act also provides certain information to be included in orders of garnishment for funds held by financial institutions. No party shall seek a garnishment of account funds held by a financial institution unless there is a good-faith belief that the party to be served with the garnishment has, or will have, account assets of the judgment debtor. No more than one garnishment for the same claim and against the same judgment debtor shall be issued within any 30-day period, unless exempted by court order as detailed in the act. Furthermore, a financial institution does not have a duty to investigate or assert the defenses of a judgment debtor. A financial institution served with an order of garnishment and interrogatories shall answer within 20 days and shall release funds to the judgment debtor 60 days after an answer is submitted or sooner if required under an order to pay or paid into the court. A financial institution is not required to respond to interrogatories not related to account funds. This act does not apply to wage garnishments or garnishments of property other than account funds. Garnishees are also not required to search for, hold, or return wages or other property. The provisions relating to orders of garnishment of account funds held by financial institutions shall be implemented and administered in accordance with rules of the Supreme Court of Missouri. A garnishee acting in good faith compliance with a facially valid order of garnishment shall not be liable to any debtor, creditor, or other person for withholding, restraining, or releasing funds in reasonable reliance upon the terms of the writ or order. A garnishee shall not be required to adjudicate competing claims to property or funds, determine the legal validity of the judgment, or investigate facts outside the information contained in the writ or the garnishee's business records. A garnishee shall be liable for damages arising from a garnishment only if the garnishee fails to follow the clear and express terms of the writ or order, such failure constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct, and actual damages are proven. A garnishee shall not be liable if correction is made within five business days after receiving written notice identifying the alleged error and the garnishee promptly releases any improperly restrained funds. However, temporarily restraining funds pending review of a claimed exemption shall not create liability if the garnishee, garnishor, and judgment debtor or other persons act as required by law. The provisions of this act relating to orders of garnishment for funds held by financial institutions shall be effective on January 1, 2028, while the provisions of this act relating to the attachment and execution are effective January 1, 2027. These provisions are identical to the truly agreed to and finally passed SS/HCS/HB 1870 (2026) and are similar to HB 275 (2025) and HB 1657 (2024). UNIFORM PUBLIC EXPRESSION PROTECTION ACT (SECTION 537.529 AND THE REPEAL OF SECTION 537.528) This act establishes the "Uniform Public Expression Protection Act". Currently, any action against a person for conduct or speech undertaken or made in connection with a public hearing or meeting in a quasi-judicial proceeding before a tribunal or decision-making body of the state or a political subdivision thereof is subject to a special motion to dismiss, a motion for judgment on the pleadings, or motion for summary judgment and any such motion shall be considered by the court on a priority or expedited basis. This act repeals this provision and creates procedures for dismissal of causes of action asserted in a civil action based on a person's: (1) Communication in a legislative, executive, judicial, administrative, or other governmental proceeding; (2) Communication on an issue under consideration or review in a legislative, executive, judicial, administrative, or other governmental proceeding; or (3) Exercise of the right of freedom of speech or of the press, the right to assemble or petition, or the right of association, guaranteed by the United States Constitution or the Missouri Constitution, on a matter of public concern. However, this act shall not apply to a cause of action asserted: (1) Against a governmental unit, as described in the act, or an employee or agent of a governmental unit acting in an official capacity; (2) By a governmental unit or an employee or agent of a governmental unit acting in an official capacity to enforce a law to protect against an imminent threat to public health or safety; or (3) Against a person primarily engaged in the business of selling or leasing goods or services if the cause of action arises out of a communication related to the sale or lease of such goods or services. No later than 60 days after a party is served with a complaint, cross-claim, counterclaim, third-party claim, or other pleading that asserts a cause of action covered by this act, or at a later time upon a showing of good cause, a party may file a special motion to dismiss. The court shall hear and rule on such motion no later than 60 days after the filing of the motion, unless the court orders a later hearing to allow for limited discovery or upon good cause. However, this act provides that the court shall hear and rule on the motion for dismissal no later than 60 days after the order allowing for discovery. This act provides that all other proceedings between the moving party and the responding party in the action, including discovery and any pending hearings or motions, shall be stayed upon the filing of the special motion to dismiss. Additionally, this act provides that the court may stay, upon motion by the moving party, a hearing or motion involving another party or discovery by another party if a ruling on such hearing or motion or discovery relates to a legal or factual issue. Any stay pursuant to this act shall remain in effect until the entry of an order ruling on the special motion to dismiss and the expiration of the time to appeal the order. A moving party may appeal an order denying the special motion to dismiss in whole or in part within 21 days of such order. If a party appeals an order ruling on a special motion to dismiss, this act provides that all proceedings between all parties shall be stayed until the conclusion of the appeal. The court may allow discovery if a party shows that specific information is necessary to establish whether a party has satisfied or failed to satisfy the requirements of this act and such information is not reasonably available without discovery. Additionally, a motion for costs and expenses, voluntary dismissal, or a motion to sever shall not be stayed. During a stay, the court upon good cause may hear and rule on any motions unrelated to the special motion to dismiss and any motions seeking a special or preliminary injunction to protect against an imminent threat to public health or safety. In ruling on a special motion to dismiss, this act provides that the court shall consider the parties' pleadings, the motion, any replies and responses to the motion, and any evidence that could be considered in a ruling on a motion for summary judgment. The court shall dismiss the cause of action with prejudice if: (1) The moving party has established that the cause of action is covered by this act; (2) The responding party has failed to establish that this act does not apply to the cause of action; and (3) Either the responding party failed to establish a prima facie case as to each essential element of the cause of action, or the moving party has established that the responding party failed to state a cause of action upon which relief can be granted or that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. A voluntary dismissal without prejudice of a cause of action that is subject to a special motion to dismiss pursuant to this act shall not affect the moving party's right to obtain a ruling on the motion and seek costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, and reasonable litigation expenses. Additionally, if the moving party prevails on the motion, this act provides that such costs, fees, and expenses shall be awarded to the moving party. A voluntary dismissal with prejudice of a cause of action that is subject to a special motion to dismiss establishes that the moving party prevailed on the motion. The responding party shall be entitled to such costs, fees, and expenses if the responding party prevails on the motion and the court finds that the motion was frivolous or filed solely with the intent to delay the proceeding. Finally, this act applies to causes of action filed or asserted on or after August 28, 2026. These provisions are identical to the truly agreed to and finally passed SB 1067 (2026), provisions in SCS/SB 1468 (2026), SB 503 (2025), in SCS/HCS/HB 615 (2025), in SCS/HCS/HB 1259 (2025), and SB 1293 (2024) and are substantially similar to HB 2666 (2026), provisions in HCS/HB 83 (2025), in SCS/HCS/HB 176 (2025), in SB 352 (2025), HB 1092 (2025), in SCS/SB 897 (2024), HB 1785 (2024), in SCS/HCS/HB 2064 & HCS#2/HB 1886 (2024), in CCS/HCS/SS/SCS/SB 72 (2023), SB 432 (2023), HB 750 (2023), SB 1219 (2022), in HCS/SS#2/SCS/SB 968 (2022), HB 2624 (2022), and HB 1151 (2021).
