SB 901 - The act creates provisions relating to age verification on adult websites. Under the act, a commercial entity that publishes or distributes material on its website, including a social media platform, more than 1/3 of which is sexual material harmful to minors, as defined in the act, shall use reasonable age verification methods to verify that an individual attempting to access the material is 18 years of age or older. A commercial entity or a third party that performs age verification shall not retain any identifying information of the individual. A commercial entity that is required to perform age verification under the act shall post certain notices on its website, as described in the act. The act shall not apply to bona fide news or public interest broadcasts or other media and shall not affect the rights of a news-gathering organization. An internet service provider or subsidiary, search engine, or cloud service shall not be held liable for violating provisions of the act solely for providing internet access to any content not under the provider's control. The Attorney General shall enforce provisions of the act. If the Attorney General believes that a violation occurred and an action is in the public interest, the Attorney General may commence an action. If the court finds that a violation occurred, the court may grant relief, as described in the act. The act is identical to SB 1346 (2026), SB 1412 (2026), and similar to HCS/HBs 1839, 2921 & 3015 (2026). JULIA SHEVELEVA

SS/SCS/SB 1442 - This act modifies provisions relating to literacy of elementary school students. EDUCATOR PREPARATION PROGRAMS (Section 161.097) The act requires educator preparation programs to instruct teacher candidates on the selection and use of "high-quality" reading curricula and instructional materials that do not include the three-cueing system, as such term is defined in current law, as a primary instructional strategy. The act prohibits educator preparation programs from including instruction in, or endorsement of, the three-cueing system as an instructional strategy for decoding. Beginning July 1, 2027, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) shall annually review and publicly report on the compliance of educator preparation programs with literacy and reading instruction requirements of current law and those established in the act. The review shall evaluate whether instruction is grounded in the components of evidence-based reading instruction and whether prohibited practices, such as the three-cueing system, are excluded from coursework. Educator preparation programs not in compliance with these requirements shall not be approved to certify new teachers. STATE AID FOR READING INSTRUCTION (Section 161.241) The act provides that the current Evidence-Based Reading Instruction Program Fund may be used for initiatives that provide training and materials to teachers regarding structured literacy and dyslexia-informed practices. Such fund may also be used for reading tutoring programs inside regular school hours, rather than only outside regular school hours. IDENTIFICATION OF READING DEFICIENCIES (Sections 167.268, 167.340, and 167.645) The act requires school districts and charter schools to provide suggestions for parent-guided home reading to all parents of students identified as having a reading deficiency, in addition to parents of students with a substantial reading deficiency. (Section 167.268) The act modifies the "Read to be Ready Program" by authorizing districts to include certain students in grades 1-3, rather than kindergarten to grade 3, for additional average daily attendance for state school aid during reading instruction time that occurs outside normal school hours. (Section 167.340) The act establishes the "Missouri Reading Screener", a literacy-based reading assessment administered to students in grades 1-3 three times per year in every school district and charter school in the state. Any screener approved by DESE that meets the criteria set forth in the act shall be deemed a reading screener. Any reading screener approved by DESE shall score each student in one of the following categories and provide a numerical value relative to the student's grade level: "at risk", "approaching expectations", "meets expectations", and "exceeds expectations". Proficiency benchmarks "below basic", "basic", "grade-level", "proficient", or "advanced" associated with these categories shall be determined by DESE. School districts and charter schools shall assess all students on the reading screener once at the end of kindergarten and in grades 1-3 during three annual administration windows established by DESE, as provided in the act. DESE shall provide the screener to school districts and charter schools at no cost. The screener shall be appropriate for students in grades 1-3 and shall be used to comply with dyslexia screening requirements established in current law. Additionally, the reading screener shall screen for characteristics of dyslexia and reading deficiency and assess certain skills as developmentally appropriate. Student results on the reading screener shall not be used to make decisions concerning the accreditation of a public school or school district. A student who scores "approaching expectations" on the Missouri Reading Screener shall be identified as having a reading deficiency. A student who scores "at risk" on the screener shall be identified as having a substantial reading deficiency. Any student entering the school district or charter school after the start of the school year shall be assessed within 20 days and be provided a reading success plan if the student is identified as having a reading deficiency or substantial reading deficiency. The district or charter school shall notify the parent of any student in grades 1-3 who exhibits a reading deficiency or substantial reading deficiency of certain requirements set forth in current law. In addition to such current requirements, the notification shall state that if the child has a substantial reading deficiency by the end of grade three, as determined by the student's performance on the reading screener, the child shall not be promoted to grade four unless the child qualifies for a good cause exemption, as provided in the act. If the district or charter school provides a summer reading program, the parent of a student with a reading deficiency or substantial reading deficiency shall be notified that the student is required to attend the summer reading program. If a child has a reading deficiency or substantial reading deficiency at the end of grade two, the student's parent shall meet with school staff to discuss the deficiency and sign documentation stating that the parent has been informed of certain information set forth in the act, including a statement that retention of a third-grade student with a substantial reading deficiency is mandatory unless the unless the child qualifies for a good cause exemption or scores "approaching expectations" or higher on a retest opportunity, as provided in the act. The parent shall agree to participate in parent training workshops or regular parent-guided home reading activities, or both, that are aligned to scientifically based reading research. A parent's refusal to meet, sign, or agree as required under the act shall not prevent that student from receiving additional interventions or from being retained by the school district. A good cause exemption may be granted to students who are English language learners or who have individualized education plans or 504 plans developed under federal law. A student who has already been retained at least once in kindergarten to third grade shall not be retained and shall not require a good cause exemption. To request a good cause exemption, a student's teacher shall submit documentation to the school principal recommending the student's promotion, including the type of exemption being requested and the child's existing reading improvement plan or individualized education plan, as appropriate. The school principal shall discuss the recommendation with the teacher and determine whether the student qualifies for a good cause exemption. If the school principal determines that the student qualifies for the good cause exemption, the school principal shall make such recommendation in writing to the superintendent, who shall accept or reject the school principal's recommendation in writing. The school district shall assist schools with notifying parents of students who are retained of the reasons for the retention, along with a description of the proposed interventions and supports that will be provided to the child to remedy the identified area or areas of reading deficiency in the following school year. School districts and charter schools may include in reading success plans a "read at home" plan outlined in a parental contract that includes participation in parent training workshops or regular parent-guided home reading activities, or both, that are aligned to scientifically based reading research. Reading success plans and intensive reading instruction shall be provided to each student in grades 1-3 who exhibits a reading deficiency or a substantial reading deficiency, rather than to students in grades 1-5 who exhibit a substantial reading deficiency. Intensive reading instruction provided to students exhibiting a reading deficiency or substantial reading deficiency shall not include the three-cueing system, as defined in current law, as a primary instructional strategy. Each school district shall establish an intensive acceleration class at each school for any student retained in grade three who was previously retained in kindergarten through grade two. The class shall satisfy certain criteria set forth in the act, and shall have a reduced teacher-student ratio and provide explicit, systematic, sequential, and cumulative reading instruction and intervention for the majority of student contact time each day. School districts and charter schools shall report certain reading assessment data to DESE for grades 1-3, rather than for kindergarten through grade five. By October 1 annually, each school board shall report in writing to DESE certain information regarding reading instruction, such as the board's policies regarding student retention and promotion, the number and percentage of students identified as having reading deficiencies or substantial reading deficiencies, the number and percentage of all students retained in kindergarten to third grade due to substantial reading deficiencies, and the total number and percentage of third-grade students who were promoted with good cause exemptions, as provided in the act. Each public school shall make available to the public the title and author of all reading curriculum materials adopted for each grade and the recommended reading level for such materials. (Section 167.645) THREE-CUEING SYSTEM MODEL OF READING INSTRUCTION (Section 170.014) Current law provides that visual information and strategies that improve background and experiential knowledge shall not be used to teach word reading. This act provides that such information and strategies shall not be used to teach decoding. NO ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS (Section 1) This act shall not be construed to require public schools, charter schools, or school districts to incur additional costs in order to implement the provisions of the act. This act is similar to SCS/HCS/HB 2872 (2026), HB 2914 (2026), and provisions in SB 1628 (2026). OLIVIA SHANNON

SB 885 - This act modifies provisions relating to foreign ownership of agricultural land in Missouri. This act modifies the definition of "foreign business" to include professional corporations, nonprofit corporations, limited liability companies, or the equivalent of any entity listed in the current law, in which a controlling interest is owned or organized under the laws of a foreign country, or both. Currently, no more than 1% of the total agricultural acreage in the state shall be owned by a foreign entity. Under the act, beginning on the effective date of the act, no alien, foreign business, or a foreign government shall acquire agricultural land in the state. Any such foreign entity who acquired agricultural land in the state prior to the effective date of the act shall not transfer agricultural land to any other foreign entity on or after the effective date of the act. No person may hold agricultural land as a fiduciary for a foreign government. A foreign entity that acquired agricultural land in violation of the provisions of the act remains in violation of the act for as long as the foreign entity holds an interest in the agricultural land. After the effective date of the act, all proposed transfers of any interest in agricultural land held by a foreign entity in the state shall be submitted to the Department of Agriculture at least 30 calendar days prior to such transfers being finalized to determine whether such transfers, or if land usage changes, are conveyed in accordance with the prohibition on foreign ownership of agricultural land in the state. Such sale or transfer submitted for review to the Department shall be deemed a closed record until such sale is finalized. If the Director of the Department of Agriculture finds that a foreign entity has acquired agricultural land after the effective date of the act, instead of pursuant to the provisions under current law, the Director shall report such violation to the Attorney General. This act creates a definition of "nonfarming" with respect to the current provisions regarding foreign-owned agricultural land being used for nonfarming purposes. Additionally, beginning on the effective date of this act, no foreign adversary, as defined in the act, shall own agricultural land in the state for nonfarming purposes, which includes research purposes. This act has an emergency clause. This act is similar to 1153 (2026), identical to SCS/SB 217 (2025), and similar to provisions in SB 250 (2025), HB 725 (2025), SB 806 (2024), provisions in SB 865 (2024), a provision in HCS/HB 1957 (2024), CCS/SS/SCS/HCS/HBs 903, 465, 430 & 499 (2023), SCS/SBs 332, 334, SB 541 & SB 144 (2023).

SS/SCS/SBs 1410 & 853 - This act modifies provisions relating to property taxes. TAX BALLOT MEASURE LANGUAGE This act requires an election authority to label tax ballot measures numerically or alphabetically in the order they are submitted. Election authorities may coordinate with each other, or with the Secretary of State, to maintain a database or other record and to ensure that the same measure shared on the ballot of multiple jurisdictions at the same election will have the same numerical or alphabetical assignment. (Section 115.240) This provision is identical to a provision in SB 1517 (2026), and HCS/HB 2178 (2026), and is substantially similar to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026), SB 1784 (2026), and SCS/HCS/HB 1790 (2026). This act requires any ballot measure seeking to add, change, or modify a tax on residential real property to express the effect of the proposed change within the ballot language in terms of the change in dollars owed per $100,000 of a property's market valuation. (Section 137.067) This provision is substantially similar to SB 1203 (2026), SB 1293 (2026), SCS/HCS/HB 1790 (2026), HCS/HBs 2709 & 2671 (2026), HCS/HB 119 (2025), HCS/HB 517 (2025), HCS/HB 531 (2025), HB 660 (2025), HCS/HB 2058 (2024), HCS/HB 1517 (2024), HCS/HB 2140 (2024), CCS/HS/HCS/SS#2/SCS/SB 96 (2023), and HCS/SS#3/SCS/SB 131 (2023). ASSESSMENT OF SHORT-TERM RENTALS This act modifies the definition of "residential property" for the purposes of the taxation of real property by providing that such definition shall include single family homes that are owned by a sole proprietor, individual, partnership, or limited liability company and leased, in whole or in part, for a term of less than thirty consecutive days, provided that such provision may not apply to any such property in excess of fifteen such properties owned by the same individual or business. This act also prohibits an assessor from reclassifying real property without first conducting an in-person consultation with the owner of record of such property. An assessor shall be deemed to be in compliance with this provision if the assessor can document a good-faith effort to contact the owner of record, as described in the act. (Section 137.016) This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026), and is substantially similar to SB 1303 (2026), HCS/HB 2098 (2026), SB 699 (2025), SB 784 (2025), and SCS/HB 1086 (2025), and to a provision in SS/SCS/SB 1001 (2026), SB 1784 (2026), HB 660 (2025), and SCS/HB 3000 (2026). PROPERTY TAX LEVIES Current law allows taxing jurisdictions to impose either a single property tax levy for all property types or a different levy for each class and subclass of property. This act provides that, beginning on January 1, 2027, each county and city not within a county shall determine the assessed valuation, set and revise levies, and make adjustments to levies for each subclass of real property, individually, and personal property, in the aggregate. (Section 137.073.2(2) and (4); section 137.079; and section 137.115.16) These provisions are substantially similar to provisions in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026), SB 1293 (2026), and HCS#2/HB 2780 (2026). If, prior to the expiration of a temporary levy increase, voters are asked to approve an additional permanent levy increase, voters shall be submitted ballot language that clearly indicates that if the permanent levy increase is approved, the temporary levy shall be made permanent. (Section 137.073.5(3)) This provision is identical to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026), SB 1293 (2026), SB 1517 (2026), SCS/HCS/HB 1790 (2026), HCS/HBs 2709 & 2671 (2026), HCS#2/HB 2780 (2026), HCS/HB 119 (2025), HB 660 (2025), HB 1497 (2025), HCS/HB 2058 (2024), HCS/HB 1517 (2024), HCS/HB 2140 (2024), CCS/HS/HCS/SS#2/SCS/SB 96 (2023), and HCS/SS#3/SCS/SB 131 (2023), and is substantially similar to SB 880 (2018) and SB 357 (2017). This act provides that, if the total assessed valuation in a political subdivision decreases in the tax year immediately following a tax year in which the voters approved an increase to the tax rate ceiling, such political subdivision may increase its levy such that the revenue received equals the amount that would have been received from the increased rate of levy had there been no decrease in the total assessed valuation. (Section 137.073.5(6)) This provision is substantially similar to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026), SB 1293 (2026), SB 1517 (2026), HCS/HBs 2709 & 2671 (2026), HCS#2/HB 2780 (2026), HCS/HB 119 (2025), HB 660 (2025), HB 1497 (2025), HCS/HB 2058 (2024), HCS/HB 1517 (2024), and HCS/HB 2140 (2024). This act requires any taxing jurisdiction that is required to roll back its property tax levy to separately report to the State Auditor any increase in the rate of levy for debt service made during the same year. The State Auditor shall provide such data aggregated by taxing authority in an easily accessible format on the State Auditor's website, and the State Auditor may perform an audit on any such taxing authority to ensure compliance with the provisions of law and the Constitution requiring tax levy rollbacks. (Section 137.073.6(3)) This provision is identical to a provision in SS/SCS/HCS/HBs 1768 & 2060 (2026). Current law provides that the burden of proof to sustain a property valuation shall be on the assessor for any assessment of residential real property that is made by a computer, computer-assisted method, or a computer program. This act applies such provision to all non-agricultural real property. (Section 137.115.1(5)) This provision is substantially similar to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026), SB 1784 (2026), HCS/HB 2178 (2026), and HCS#2/HB 2780 (2026). Current law requires an assessor to conduct a physical inspection prior to increasing the assessed value of residential real property by more than 15%. This act allows the property owner of any non-agricultural real property to request a physical inspection if the assessed value of such property has increased by more than fifteen percent since the last assessment. (Section 137.115.10) This provision is identical to a provision in SCS/HCS/HB 2178 (2026) and is substantially similar to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026), SB 1517 (2026), SB 1784 (2026), and HCS#2/HB 2780 (2026). MOTOR VEHICLE ASSESSMENTS Current law requires assessors to use a publication selected by the State Tax Commission to determine the true value of motor vehicles. This act requires the State Tax Commission to develop the bid specifications to select and secure such publication, and to secure an annual appropriation from the General Assembly for the publication. The State Tax Commission shall ensure that all assessors have access to the publication. (Section 137.115.9) PROPERTY TAX DEADLINES Current law requires a county assessor to provide notification to a taxpayer by no later than June 15 if the assessor increases the taxpayer's real property valuation. This act requires such notice to be provided by no later than June 1. (Sections 137.180, 137.355, and 137.490) These provisions are identical to provisions in SS/SCS/HCS/HBs 1768 & 2060 (2026). PROPERTY TAX CREDITS Current law allows counties to provide a property tax credit to certain seniors. This act provides that a taxpayer shall not be required to reapply for such credit annually. The tax credit shall continue to be applied to the taxpayer's homestead until the tax year in which the taxpayer relocates to another homestead or upon the death of the taxpayer. (Section 137.1050) This provision is identical to a provision in SS/SCS/HCS/HBs 1768 & 2060 (2026) and is similar to a provision in HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 1066 & 1088 (2026) and SCS/HCS/HB 2944 (2026). Current law requires each school district secretary to submit an annual report containing certain information about the district. This act requires such report to include the total amount of property tax credits applicable to the district from the prior year. (Section 137.1060) This provision is identical to a provision in SS/SCS/HCS/HBs 1768 & 2060 (2026). PROPERTY TAX PAYMENTS Current law authorizes counties to provide for the payment of real and personal property taxes in installments on an annual, semiannual, or quarterly basis, but excludes township counties from utilizing such payment plans. This act repeals such prohibition for township counties and allows the form of the installments to also be made on a monthly or weekly basis. (Section 139.053) This provision is identical to a provision in SS/SCS/HCS/HBs 1768 & 2060 (2026) and substantially similar to SB 1211 (2026) and HB 388 (2025), and to a provision in SB 1517 (2026). This act authorizes a county assessor to allow a grace period of ten days for the submission of certain forms that are transmitted through the U.S. Postal Service and that are postmarked on or before the due date but received after the due date due to postal delay. (Section 1) This provision is identical to a provision in SS/SCS/HCS/HBs 1768 & 2060 (2026). DELINQUENT PROPERTY TAX NOTICES This act authorizes a collector to offer a trusted contact program to a taxpayer, who may designate one or more trusted contacts for the collector to contact in the event the taxpayer has not paid the taxpayer's property tax liability by March 1 of a calendar year. (Section 140.010) This provision is identical to a provision in SS/SCS/HCS/HBs 1768 & 2060 (2026). SCHOOL DISTRICT BOND ISSUES Current law requires bond issues for school districts to include certain ballot language. This act modifies such language by adding a clause including the length of time it is estimated the district's bonded indebtedness would be extended. (Section 164.151) This provision is identical to a provision in SS/SCS/HCS/HBs 1768 & 2060 (2026). MISSOURI TAXPAYER DEBT RELIEF AND SCHOOL FACILITIES ACT This act creates the "Missouri Taxpayer Debt Relief and School Facilities Act", the "Commission on Academic Facilities", and a corresponding fund in the state treasury for purposes of providing state financial support for public school academic facility projects currently funded by local property taxpayers. State financial participation in such projects shall be reserved only for academic facilities where students receive instruction, such as classrooms and libraries, excluding administration buildings, bus barns, maintenance facilities, and athletic facilities, as provided in the act. Members of the commission shall include the Commissioner of Education, two members appointed by the Governor, one member appointed by the President Pro Tempore of the Missouri Senate, one member appointed by the Senate minority leader, and two members appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, not more than one of whom from the same political party. All members of the commission shall have demonstrated experience in public school administration, school facility planning or construction, or public finance. The act outlines certain duties of the commission, including the adoption of rules establishing application procedures, project evaluation criteria, facility standards, audit requirements, and a methodology for state and local cost sharing, along with other duties specified in the act. The commission shall establish, by rule, a methodology for determining the relative fiscal capacity of each school district to provide local resources for academic facilities projects and the respective state and local shares of eligible projects. The act specifies certain measures of district fiscal capacity that shall be considered, such as assessed valuation, property wealth per pupil, income levels, operating levies, debt service obligations, and other indicators of the ability to raise local capital. Districts with lower fiscal capacity and higher operating levies shall generally qualify for higher effective state support than districts with higher fiscal capacity and lower operating levies. The commission shall establish minimum and maximum state participation percentages for eligible project costs and may differentiate such percentages among project categories. A school district may apply to the commission for state financial participation in an academic facilities project only if the district satisfies certain criteria. Such criteria include a requirement that the district shall have adopted a long range facilities plan in a form approved by the commission, and the proposed project shall be consistent with such plan and with applicable facility standards to be established by the commission. Additionally, the school district shall have a current operating levy for school purposes at or above the performance levy, as such terms are defined in current law, unless the district's operating levy was at or above the performance levy at any point during the previous four years but was reduced due to a constitutionally mandated rollback. The act establishes a priority order for the awarding of state financial participation in each funding cycle. First order priority shall be given to projects addressing substantial and imminent dangers to health and safety. Second order priority shall be given to projects that create substantial and demonstrable efficiencies in the ongoing operating costs of a school district. Third order priority shall be given to projects that remedy significant facility condition deficiencies. Fourth order priority shall be given to projects that provide additional capacity to accommodate enrollment growth or eliminate excessive reliance on temporary classrooms. The commission shall further prioritize projects by considering certain factors to be included within and among the funding priority categories. These factors include the severity of facility need and educational impact; the district's fiscal capacity, so that districts with lower fiscal capacity receive higher effective state support; the district's operating levy, so that districts with higher levies receive higher effective state support to help reduce increases in property taxes; the extent to which the district is already relying on local funding effort, prioritizing districts that receive less than half of their total revenue from state sources; the availability or lack of local bonding capacity for facilities purposes; the degree of local matching commitment associated with the project; and the prudent and resourceful expenditure of state funds, as provided in the act. No project shall receive state financial participation unless the district demonstrates a good faith matching commitment, as determined by the commission. The commission shall give favorable consideration to projects accompanied by a plan, approved by the district's governing board, that uses state participation to offset or reduce the amount of new local debt that would otherwise be required for the project or allows for a reduction in future debt service levies or avoidance of levy increases that would otherwise be needed. The commission shall not require a district that is otherwise eligible for state financial participation to increase local tax rates as a condition of receiving state financial participation. The commission shall ensure that state funds are allocated in a manner that reasonably balances a preference for districts demonstrating strong local effort; a consideration for districts with limited remaining bonding capacity; and the goal of mitigating, where practicable, the long term property tax burden associated with necessary facility improvements. A district receiving state financial participation shall comply with all applicable procurement, construction, and reporting requirements and shall complete the project substantially as described in the district's approved application. The commission may withhold, suspend, or require repayment of state funds if a district materially violates the requirements of this act, promulgated rules under the act, or the terms of the district's approved project. (Section 1) This provision is identical to a provision in SS/SCS/HCS/HBs 1768 & 2060 (2026). SEVERABILITY This act contains a severability clause. (Section B) JOSH NORBERG

SB 1581 - This act establishes the "Veterans Mental Health Innovation Act". Under this act, the Department of Health and Senior Services shall, subject to appropriation, award grants to conduct certified clinical drug development trials overseen by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the use of ibogaine for the treatment of opioid use disorder, co-occurring substance use disorder, or any other neurological or mental health condition for which ibogaine demonstrates efficacy. Grantees shall meet the eligibility requirements set forth in the act, including having signed an agreement with a consortium established by another state that has submitted specified applications and requests with the FDA. This act creates the "Ibogaine Study Fund" in the state treasury for the disbursement of grants under this act. Selected grant applicants shall submit quarterly reports to the Department and the Department shall submit an annual report to the General Assembly on the progress of the trials. This act also creates the "Ibogaine Intellectual Property Fund" for all revenue attributable to all intellectual property rights and other commercial rights that may arise from drug development clinical trials conducted by a multistate consortium under this act during the period for which the trials are funded and any following period of commercialization. The moneys in the fund shall be used solely for programs that assist veterans or other at-risk populations in this state. If ibogaine is approved by the FDA to treat a medical condition, only a licensed physician shall prescribe it for a patient and a licensed physician shall supervise its administration at a hospital or other licensed health care facility. The Department shall begin accepting grant applications before November 1, 2026, but may delay implementation of some or all of the provisions of this act if the Department determines that a waiver or authorization from a federal agency is first necessary. This act is identical to HB 2961 (2026). SARAH HASKINS
