The Gentleman from Jefferson, floor sponsor, described the measure on the floor as an \"employment security\" bill and said it updates verification methods and codifies existing best practices. An amendment adopted on the floor specifies multifactor authentication and eligibility reviews for suspicious claims; the sponsor said the amendment was supported by the Department of Labor.

Supporters argued the bill would protect employers from recruitment and hiring fraud, while some members voiced concerns that the measure could create obstacles for legitimately unemployed people, especially those with unreliable access to online systems. The bill sponsor said the aim is to close a loophole used by people who repeatedly fail to show for job interviews (often described in committee testimony as \"ghosting\") after collecting unemployment benefits.

The House perfected the committee substitute and ordered it printed during the session; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally for the final perfection recorded in floor proceedings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025 Legislative Session - Day Forty Two - Tuesday, March 25 -Afternoon Session- Tuesday, Mar 25, 2025 2:00 PM - 5:15 PM","oneSentenceSummary","Lawmakers perfected a bill intended to reduce improper unemployment claims by allowing verification checks against incarceration, death and new‑hire records and by codifying methods for employers to report no-shows.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature MO, Missouri","taxId",77693,"location","Missouri","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6100260,"House perfects bill to allow contracted dentists to treat inmates",200,535000,735000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2813701-7c1354faa99462264f24198399f29793&start=535&end=735","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2813701-7c1354faa99462264f24198399f29793/thumbnail_535000.jpg","/articles/6100260/Missouri/House-perfects-bill-to-allow-contracted-dentists-to-treat-inmates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6100260-8054cc84a1fbaf7e0c89e89e8e8e8a68/orig.mp4?Expires=1775378748&Signature=PVQ7am~mE1YpHGnT3oFieBM4iEkDLG2ZYQ5viZQ0dQNZqyoikRPg1v2BhrCbtW-XPrLpK3eGnpKnw7-jS~zx8e-U-hKQcITv-N9ftDBhTMBFNSLMA6rR-yYTlwPgL2vazwMmnNg4uT~wzavCA7XNEVxZavLZkuOurInQLOy1ZgtKI3FXd7FzEhv~iQdFBUF1TsxwxYx-V34BT8J0wCNhhegP18T~JCJpKdR-HPCkqi6fS5xynJp-Wy2wZhqHnlIBQ5EDwiPnlV41Zhkx~M~qLvgtfpHT22HuX~RqJeIhEQI8R6vwNz8Grs8mxnIrw9klixHFLGjpvZmTx9cQBO-6YQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Missouri House perfected House Bill 1 22, a bill that removes a restriction preventing dentists who work for private medical corporations that hold contracts with state institutions from providing dental care to incarcerated patients.

The Gentleman from Cole, sponsor of HB 1 22, told the chamber the change is needed because the private corporation that previously provided dental services for state inmates went bankrupt and that current law required dentists to be sole practitioners or work for corporations specifically owned by a dental care company. \"We're asking you to change the statute so that dentists can work for the private corporation and medical corporation that provides all the other medical care for our inmates and our public,\" the sponsor said.

Several lawmakers spoke in support, including a health-care professional who told the chamber \"dentistry is not just about cleaning teeth,\" and representatives who emphasized ensuring constitutional and standard care for incarcerated individuals. The sponsor renewed his motion and the House perfected the bill on the floor.","Lawmakers perfected House Bill 122 to allow dentists employed by private medical corporations that contract with state institutions to treat incarcerated patients; members said the change resolves a provider shortage caused by a corporate bankruptcy.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6100265,"House perfects bill barring local regulation of licensed medical professionals",6128,992000,7120000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2813701-7c1354faa99462264f24198399f29793&start=992&end=7120","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2813701-7c1354faa99462264f24198399f29793/thumbnail_992000.jpg","/articles/6100265/Missouri/House-perfects-bill-barring-local-regulation-of-licensed-medical-professionals","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6100265-b40a3f11068e66f32e1590b8a57a3a70/orig.mp4?Expires=1775378748&Signature=YSxKo-9bXF82voVytA-xNB36jkePXYwtrdS8W0aEGPuaPiHIbt2U3JUozFFN3tTlpNNaGcoqSWX1VmCn82JfB3VT2z5BGV2WlFdv6amj1vfYnBK62tFs6i5lSr4MGCxJimQM7XoNLLXfar94TfxVJdi~cpz5ZLd03N2uORGcSwk83uOsQWxZuSrcE6aN6yn~tqwk65DIzkl7TT0sk1elKSxyL7cvJTjyxs0XNzSyqdqWDtPtwjupZEUs~NUagtOeT6QcNcb1h~4156aHFDcQL-vSejfEgKW~DsQgcjwq3lTitxMlZvok6dEB5lVNdnvwJeWPE2pwlLLQHXOKEqtdVQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Missouri House perfected House Bill 3 25 as amended, a measure that clarifies that licensed medical professionals’ scope of practice is determined by state boards and not by local government ordinances.

The Gentleman from Saint Louis County, sponsor of HB 3 25, said the bill prevents local governments from telling licensed medical professionals what they must do as part of their professional practice. \"The only thing this does is says to a local government is that a licensed professional who has been trained in a field and has a state board that oversees what they are allowed to do in their profession cannot be interfered at a local level,\" the sponsor said on the floor.

Debate focused on local control. The Gentleman from Pulaski and others pressed whether the bill would prevent municipalities from imposing public‑health or safety measures; the sponsor and supporters said existing local powers over public health, building and fire codes and mass gatherings would remain intact.

The bill's language was amended to explicitly include podiatrists after the sponsor noted they had asked to be included. The House adopted the amendment and perfected the bill; a procedural vote to move the previous question passed (recorded in the transcript as 98 yes, 43 no, and 1 present) and the House later perfected HB 3 25 as amended.","The House perfected House Bill 3 25, which prevents local governments from imposing rules on the professional practice of licensed medical providers and adds podiatrists to the list of covered professions; members debated local control and public health exceptions.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6100270,"House approves bill to cap home assessments at most recent sale value (opt-in)",1612,8255000,9867000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2813701-7c1354faa99462264f24198399f29793&start=8255&end=9867","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2813701-7c1354faa99462264f24198399f29793/thumbnail_8255000.jpg","/articles/6100270/Missouri/House-approves-bill-to-cap-home-assessments-at-most-recent-sale-value-opt-in","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6100270-c4837f34903a539ee1d80e4ca8a0d6cd/orig.mp4?Expires=1775378748&Signature=MDIknMvMN6L34X88S2qYzbw~~VmyBaJZvksGQ6t0RQNHNFz6rL~NoLOWtYusiA0U9XQvvvOuccB1cbTGT4c5fS6uGz6eqif7fb-xmqkefYbStHwqq3sZOmJvazL6-i4TFuCgIScATd9fIn7wURcNd-m6~Y6n1RyLwYcipb3FtsQarOuG5XkKB7dg9Av0rOaHuO6bNMGaDPOBhSLWgxTATF2250zfmE51RWccqw27pb3I0mqboCwHgVBtevDSsk09EFFLQSx-IE8Ao9YVcz-zP9AdMudVlvxR1cD6b5GJMJgVjZrkP4g26ubxER4hJpfC~Wkujn-4vWdecfkpDi4uNg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Missouri House perfected and ordered printed House Bill 7 80, a measure that would let qualifying homeowners opt in to a rule that ties assessed value to the property's most recent sale price.

The Gentleman from Greene, the bill sponsor, told the chamber the measure is aimed at homeowners facing sharply rising assessments. \"No property can be assessed for higher than the amount at which it previously sold, for assessment purposes,\" he said on the floor, describing an opt-in process with an effective reference date of Jan. 1, 2026.

Members adopted a House amendment requiring assessors to disclose the method and computation used to reach a valuation and to identify any third‑party data relied upon. The amendment, offered by the Gentleman from Saint Louis, was adopted on the floor.

Supporters framed the bill as a tool to protect seniors, long-time homeowners and others from unexpected tax increases tied to rapidly rising market appraisals. Critics in questioning warned about potential unintended consequences and asked whether a bottle‑neck effect could follow if many owners opt in; some members also asked whether the measure could echo California-style limits on assessment that have long-term budgetary effects.

The House perfected the bill as amended during the same floor session; the journal records adoption of amendment and perfection vote during the session. The transcript does not record Senate action or a final enactment date.","After adopting a transparency amendment, the House perfected a bill that would allow homeowners to opt in to a rule capping assessed value at the most recent sale price as of Jan. 1, 2026.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6100275,"House adopts amended Second Amendment Preservation Act after hours of debate",3997,3017000,7014000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2813701-7c1354faa99462264f24198399f29793&start=3017&end=7014","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2813701-7c1354faa99462264f24198399f29793/thumbnail_3017000.jpg","/articles/6100275/Missouri/House-adopts-amended-Second-Amendment-Preservation-Act-after-hours-of-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6100275-52bb08b64b5830be1addd6e6e86798fd/orig.mp4?Expires=1775378748&Signature=MHdN9Rbk8DQ5yP-fA1tql4ov9xh2V7DSJDH0A9Xt8IQ9CnH7bj5vEeIvNsO0pDFCBFaUzlpGS1F1kM0yzAMWui5utTxZds3JAGhpF44wS~qMtbKIQctS1uPu4aLB-Lg5wJRa39RJq4uxJH0OXxC-crU-CinJ-Dy1bImc6t4Oez06xn-5lLN06-UGj1P-vB5mRRlR2xqlnOekVW-zobqFQo8CGZwtt~XcMIPXEIYRslfjg~-RYinnya7s~EYUFvIlF~6tLMnIc6u15oyfOzx4iWalsE-KLhzIw2PWpumt-3392ZWfyQfYvZo18IiVK2YzDQw5mzE7wtCJq3BIljCt7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Missouri House adopted and perfected a committee substitute for House Bill 11 75, commonly called the Second Amendment Preservation Act, following several hours of floor debate and a roll-call vote that perfected the bill 101-49.

Supporters said the bill protects state sovereignty and prevents federal authorities from commandeering state or local law enforcement to enforce federal firearms rules. \"For once, we're saying the government cannot do something to people,\" the bill sponsor, the Gentleman from Pulaski, told the chamber during floor debate.

Opponents, including members who identified as former prosecutors and public defenders, said the bill could disrupt federal-state task forces that investigate violent crime and could expose local law enforcement agencies to civil liability. \"This bill creates an entirely new category of lawsuit aimed squarely at police officers, at their agencies, at their employers,\" the Gentleman from Jasper said, describing risks to cooperation and public safety.

The bill includes language limiting state cooperation in enforcing some federal firearms laws and creates civil remedies and fines for violations; supporters said the measure was rewritten to address concerns the Eighth Circuit cited when it struck a 2021 version of the statute. Sponsors repeatedly framed the measure as a Tenth Amendment and anti-commandeering protection rather than a change to Missouri firearms law.

Debate also included legal and historical arguments. The Gentleman from Pulaski cited the Supremacy Clause and the Tenth Amendment in a sustained floor speech arguing for state authority to refuse enforcement of certain federal acts that the state views as overreaching.

After floor debate, the House adopted the committee substitute and then perfected the bill by roll call. The Clerk reported the final perfection vote as 101 yes, 49 no.

The House vote sends the perfected committee substitute to the next legislative step; the transcript records no final enactment date or Senate action during this session.","The Missouri House voted to adopt and perfect a committee substitute for House Bill 11 75, the Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA), after extended floor debate on federalism, law enforcement and public safety.","actionData","errors"]
