SJR 10
Senate Joint Resolution No. 10 (SJR 10), introduced in the Missouri Senate, proposes
significant changes to the process of amending the state’s constitution. This resolution aims
to safeguard the Missouri Constitution by making it more difficult to alter and ensuring that
only certain voters can influence such changes. By introducing stricter approval
requirements and defining voter eligibility, SJR 10 seeks to preserve the integrity and
stability of Missouri’s foundational legal document.
SB 4
Senate Substitute No. 2 for Senate Bill No. 4 (SS2 for SB4), a significant piece of legislation
passed by the Missouri Senate, introduces sweeping changes to the state’s utility
regulations. While the bill aims to modernize utility operations and planning, it includes
provisions that have notable downsides for consumers and small businesses, particularly
through increased costs and reduced competition. At the same time, it offers several
benefits to utility companies, enhancing their financial flexibility and operational capabilities.
SB 82
Senate Bill 82 establishes a
permitting process overseen by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and a newly
created Missouri Water Resources Commission. It claims to protect in-state water access by
requiring permits for exporting water out of Missouri, with exemptions for certain uses like
bottled water and withdrawals within 30 miles of the state border. However, there are
significant concerns about the consequences of this bill for Missourians.
SB 744
Senate Bill No. 744, introduced by Senator Schroer in the 103rd General Assembly of
Missouri, proposes to amend Chapter 195 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, which governs

SB 213
While Senate Bill 213 (SB 213) includes several provisions designed to protect landowners

safeguard their property, community, and quality of life, here are potential issues that our
legislators need to watch out for, along with where they appear in the bill and why they might
be worrisome.
SJR 8
Senate Joint Resolution No. 8 (SJR 8) proposes an amendment to the Missouri Constitution aimed at
protecting unborn life. It seeks to repeal and replace Section 2 of Article I of the Missouri
Constitution with new language that explicitly includes unborn children as “persons” under the law
and removes any constitutional protection or funding requirement for abortion.
SB 296
Missouri Senate Bill 295 (SB 295), introduced by Senator Brattin, proposes significant
changes to Missouri law aimed at restricting the exposure of minors to adult cabaret
performances. The bill amends Section 573.010 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo)
and adds a new Section 573.520, defining the offense of engaging in an adult cabaret
performance and establishing penalties.
SB 14
Senate Bill 14 (SB 14) proposes changes to Missouri’s pesticide registration laws, including adopting
federal standards for labeling requirements. This shift raises concerns about potential dangers and
liabilities associated with pesticide use.
SB 84
