This provision also includes anatomically correct dolls, mannequins, robots, or any other items that resemble a minor if intended to be used for the sexual arousal or gratification of any person, or for the purpose of causing emotional distress to any person. These provisions are identical to HB 1946 (2026) and HB 2273 (2026).

The Council has the authority to create subgroups to offer recommendations on specific issues. Currently, there are certain members of the Council that can choose a designee to be on the Council. This act requires that such designees have involvement in anti-human trafficking efforts, or knowledge or experience in human trafficking investigations. Under this act, the member of the judiciary that sits on the Council must have experience in the juvenile court and must be appointed by the Chief Justice of the Missouri Supreme Court. Currently, there are two representatives from agencies providing services to the victims of child sex trafficking. This provision replaces them with one member of the Missouri Hospital Association with experience and knowledge of human trafficking. This act also adds three new members to the Council for a total of eighteen members. Additionally, the Attorney General is given the discretion to add any nongovernmental agencies that are deemed necessary. This provision creates the position of executive director to be appointed by the Attorney General, and shall serve under their supervision.

CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING CASES (SECTION 537.054, 566.201, and 566.218) Under these provisions, a person can bring an action to recover damages for any injury or illness caused by child sex trafficking within twenty years of the plaintiff attaining twenty-one years of age.

This act provides that a prosecuting or circuit attorney may request assistance from the Attorney General to assist in the prosecution of child sex trafficking cases. Prosecuting or circuit attorneys may also request any resource or capability of the Office of the Attorney General while prosecuting a child trafficking case. Any defendant that has been found guilty of a sex trafficking offense may have such defendant's real or personal property that was used, attempted to be used, or intended to be used in furtherance of a sex trafficking offense seized. Any property seized under this provision shall be forfeited pursuant to the Criminal Activity Forfeiture Act. These provisions are identical to HB 1946 (2026) and HB 2273 (2026). EVIE AND SOPHIE'S LAW (SECTION 566.152) This act creates the offense of grooming of a minor. A person commits this offense when such person is twenty-one years old or older and knowingly engages in a pattern of conduct that includes at least one overtly sexual act toward a minor that a reasonable person would infer is intended to prepare, condition, or manipulate such minor for sexual conduct, sexual performance, or a commercial sex act. Direct evidence of explicit statements of intent of the defendant are not required. Intent of the defendant may be established by the nature, frequency, and context of communications or actions, however intent of the defendant shall be evaluated based only on what a reasonable person would infer. This act provides that the offense of grooming of a minor shall not apply to a parent, guardian, or family member of the minor who is providing care or support to the minor if there is no evidence of sexual intent or exploitation of the minor. The offense of grooming of a minor shall be a class C felony, unless sexual conduct, sexual performance, or a commercial sex act occurs, in which case it is a class B felony. In addition to imprisonment, a person convicted of grooming of a minor shall be ordered to pay restitution to the victim. This act provides that the Department of Public Safety shall issue guidance for the public on recognizing actions that constitute grooming of a minor and how to respond to potential instances of grooming of a minor and available treatments and services for victims of grooming. The Department shall also issue procedures and training for professionals on investigating and prosecuting those who commit the offense of grooming of a minor. These provisions are identical to HB 1814 (2026) and HB 1551 (2026). SEXUAL OFFENSES (SECTIONS 566.211, 567.030, and 610.131) Under this act, the offense of sexual trafficking of a child in the second degree by a parent, legal guardian, or other person that has custody or control of a child is a felony for which the authorized term of imprisonment is imprisonment for the duration of the person's natural life. Currently, the offense of patronizing prostitution is a class B misdemeanor, unless the individual who the offender patronizes is less than eighteen years of age but older than fifteen years of age, in which case it is a class E felony. This act modifies the offense to be a class E felony, unless the individual who the offender patronizes is less than eighteen years of age but older than fifteen years of age, in which case it is a class D felony. Under current law, a person that was convicted of prostitution can have records of such conviction expunged only if the person was under the age of eighteen at the time of the offense. This act removes the requirement that the person be under the age of eighteen at the time of the offense to apply to have such records expunged. These provisions are identical to HB 1946 (2026) and HB 2273 (2026). EVAN'S VOICE ACT (SECTIONS 573.110, 573.112, and 573.114) Under current law, the offense of nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images only applies if the image is of a person that is at least eighteen years of age. This act removes that element of the offense to include images of minors in the offense. This act also provides that the offense of nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images shall be a class C felony if the images are of a minor. Under current law, the offense of threatening the nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images only applies if the image is of a person that is at least eighteen years of age. This act removes that element of the offense to include images of minors in the offense. Currently the offense of threatening the nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images is a class E felony. This act provides that upon the second offense it shall be a class D felony and a third or subsequent offense shall be a class C felony. If the image is of a minor or vulnerable person, the offense of threatening the nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images is a class B felony. Where the threat of the nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images is the proximate cause of serious physical injury or death of a person, the offense shall be a class B felony. This act provides that a person that has been found guilty of nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images or threatening the nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images shall be ordered by the sentencing court to pay restitution, in an amount determined by the court, to the victim of the offense. These provisions are similar to HB 1814 (2026) and HB 2551 (2026). CRIME VICTIMS' COMPENSATION FUND (SECTION 595.045) Under current law, a person found guilty of certain crimes shall have a judgment in favor of the state of Missouri entered against them. This provision adds that a person found guilty of nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images or threatening the nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images shall have a judgment of five hundred dollars but not more than five thousand dollars entered against such person. These provisions are identical to HB 1814 (2026) and HB 2551 (2026). MISSOURI CRIME VICTIMS FUND (SECTION 595.047) This act establishes the "Missouri Crime Victims Fund". Moneys in the fund shall be disbursed to entitlement jurisdictions, eligible entities, or local governmental entities that are eligible for victim assistance grants under the federal Victims of Crime Act.

SB 1320 - Under current law, certain business records are required to be notarized in order to be entered into evidence in a court proceeding. This act repeals those requirements and provides that such records shall not be deemed invalid for the reason that it uses an electronic signature or that it does not include a notarization. Additionally, any affidavit falsely made shall subject the signer to criminal penalties for perjury. This act is identical to a provision in SB 143 (2205), in SB 397 (2025), in SCS/SB 1400 (2024), in SS/SCS/HCS/HB 1659 (2024), and in SCS/HCS/HB 2700 (2024). KATIE O'BRIEN

An action shall not be brought if the disclosure was made in good faith to or by a law enforcement officer in the course of reporting or investigating unlawful conduct or as part of a legal proceeding. Additionally, an action shall not be brought if the disclosure was a matter of legitimate public concern or interest or if the disclosure reasonably intended to assist the depicted individual. This act provides that a person commits the offense of disclosure of a digital depiction if the person discloses, or threatens to disclose: (1) A digital depiction of an individual who is under eighteen years of age; or (2) An intimate digital depiction with the intent to harass, annoy, threaten, alarm, or cause substantial harm to the finances or reputation of the depicted individual or with the actual knowledge that or reckless disregard for whether such disclosure or threat of disclosure will cause harm to the depicted individual.

SB 1039 - This act establishes provisions relating to procedures for alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") processes. A court may refer, by either rule or order, any individual civil case or category of civil cases to any nonbinding ADR process. Within 30 days of referral, the parties may: (1) Notify the court that the parties have chosen pursuant to a written agreement to pursue an ADR process different from the ADR process chosen by the court; (2) Notify the court that the parties have agreed to delay such ADR process until a date certain; or (3) If any party, after conferring with the other parties, concludes that the ADR process has no reasonable chance of helping the parties understand or resolve a procedural or substantive issue or if there is a compelling circumstance, the party may file a motion to not participate in the ADR process. Once a motion has been filed, the ADR process shall not occur until a ruling and, if granted, the matter shall not be referred without compelling circumstances. In any action referred to an ADR process, discovery may proceed in any other action before, during, and after the ADR process, except the court may stay discovery to promote savings in time and expense. A neutral individual ("neutral") appointed by the court or requested by the parties to serve in the ADR process shall avoid any conflict of interest. Even if the neutral believes that no disqualifying conflict exists, the neutral shall: (1) Before agreeing to serve, make a reasonable inquiry to determine whether there are facts that would cause a reasonable person to believe that the neutral has a conflict of interest; (2) As soon as practicable, disclose reasonably known facts relevant to any conflicts of interest; and (3) After accepting a designation, disclose any previously undisclosed information that could reasonably suggest a conflict of interest. After disclosure of a conflict, the ADR process may proceed if all parties have agreed in writing or if the organization administering the ADR process determines under the parties' written agreement that the neutral may continue to serve. Any party believing a court-appointed neutral has a conflict of interest may request for the neutral to recuse himself or may file a motion for disqualification. Additionally, the court may require a change of a neutral if necessary to protect the rights of an unrepresented party. ADR communications, as defined in the act, shall not be admissible as evidence in any proceeding or subject to discovery. However, evidence that is otherwise admissible or subject to discovery shall not be inadmissible or protected from discovery solely because of its disclosure or use in the ADR process. Additionally, a court may admit communications, upon motion by a party and following a hearing, if the court finds that the communication is relevant and admissible and was: (1) Made in the presence of a mandated reporter and pertains to abuse or neglect that such mandated reporter is required to report; (2) A substantial threat or statement of a plan to inflict bodily injury capable of causing death or substantial bodily harm that is reasonably certain to occur; (3) Intentionally used to plan a crime, attempt to commit a crime, or to conceal an ongoing crime; or (4) Necessary to establish or defend against a professional misconduct or malpractice claim that is based on conduct occurring during the ADR process. If requested by a party or if necessary to ensure confidentiality, the hearing shall be conducted in the judge's chambers. A participant, including the neutral, has standing to intervene in any proceedings in order to object to the admissibility of communications made by such participant. Additionally, this act provides that no neutral, or agent or employee of the neutral or of the neutral's organization, shall be subpoenaed or compelled to disclose any ADR communication. No neutral who is a licensed attorney shall be required to disclose any ADR communication of which a reporting obligation in the rules of professional conduct of attorneys might otherwise apply. However, a neutral may be subpoenaed to enforce a written settlement agreement, but only to testify that the parties signed such agreement in his or her presence. The court may order the party seeking admission of an ADR communication to pay the costs and fees of the neutral or any other participant who intervenes to contest the admission or who responds to a subpoena regarding the ADR communications. Unless a written agreement provides for a binding ADR process, the processes conducted pursuant to this act shall be nonbinding. Furthermore, this act shall not preclude any court from referring any matter to a nonbinding ADR process. This act shall only apply to ADR processes referred by court order or rule or by a written agreement of the parties expressly providing for this act to apply. This act is not intended to undermine the right to a jury trial nor does this act require any party to settle any claim or attend a mediation with counsel. If the court has not referred the parties to an ADR process or if the parties elect not to use the provisions of this act, the process shall be regarded as settlement negotiations. If the parties have agreed in writing to an ADR process but have not invoked the provisions of this act, the neutral shall not be subpoenaed or otherwise compelled to disclose any matter revealed in the setting up or conducting of such ADR process. Finally, this act requires all settlement agreements to be in writing. This act is identical to SB 256 (2025), provisions in SB 352 (2025), in SCS/SB 897 (2024), SB 1096 (2024), in SCS/HCS/HB 2064 & HCS#2/HB 1886 (2024), SB 215 (2023), in SCS/HCS/HBs 994, 52 & 984 (2023), SB 1148 (2022), SB 591 (2021), HB 953 (2021), and HB 2534 (2020) and is substantially similar to HB 1456 (2024), provisions in CCS/HCS/SS/SCS/SB 72 (2023), HB 82 (2023), and is similar to HB 2660 (2022).

SCS/SB 988 - This act establishes the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact ("Compact"), which facilitates the interstate practice of dentistry and dental hygiene and provides for dentists and dental hygienists licensed in a participating state the ability to practice in other participating states. The Compact sets forth the requirements to be met in order for a state to join and the requirements for a dentist or dental hygienist to obtain and exercise the ability to practice in other participating states. The Compact further provides that a dentist or dental hygienist with compact privilege shall function within the scope of practice authorized by the participating state in which they seek to practice and shall be subject to that state's regulatory authority. A dentist or dental hygienist whose privilege in a participating state is encumbered or removed is not eligible for compact privilege in other participating states until the encumbrance or removal has passed and all requirements are met. Additionally, the Compact creates the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact Commission ("Commission"), which is a joint government agency of the participating states tasked with administering and implementing the Compact. Each participating state shall have one Commissioner, who shall be selected within sixty days by the licensing authority of the participating state. Additionally, there shall be an Executive Board of the Commission, composed of seven Commissioners, to act on behalf of the Commission. The act provides for the powers and duties of the Commission, including the development and maintenance of a coordinated database and reporting system containing licensure, adverse actions, and investigative information on all licensees and applicants. The Commission may levy on and collect an annual assessment from each participating state and impose fees on licensees for the compact privilege in order to cover the cost of the operations and activities of the Commission and its staff. Upon enactment, the Compact shall be reviewed by the Commission to determine if it is materially different from the Model Compact and whether the state qualifies for participation in the Compact. Any state that adopts the Compact subsequent to the Commission’s initial adoption of the rules and bylaws shall be subject to the rules and bylaws existing on the date on which the Compact becomes law.
