Repeals expired, terminated, sunset, and obsolete sections, and portions of sections of law
HB 3092 is a broad cleanup bill that repeals a long list of Missouri statutes and statutory provisions that have expired, terminated, sunset, or otherwise become obsolete. The bill replaces those repealed provisions with new sections in several subject areas, including state employee and retiree health coverage, tax credit administration, charter school governance, special education services for blind and visually impaired students, dyslexia screening, corrections policies for pregnant offenders, motor vehicle titling and temporary permits, economic development incentives, and several insurance-related provisions.
A major portion of the bill updates and reorganizes the Missouri Consolidated Health Care Plan statutes, including definitions, eligibility, Medicare coordination, continuation coverage, and board authority. It also revises or reenacts provisions governing charter schools, including application requirements, sponsor oversight, performance standards, revocation and renewal criteria, and accountability measures. Other sections repeal outdated task forces, reporting requirements, and tax credit programs while preserving or modernizing active programs such as distressed-area redevelopment credits, new markets credits, alternative fuel infrastructure credits, and certain business recruitment incentives. The bill also includes targeted policy changes in areas such as Braille and assistive technology services, dyslexia screening and training, child support enforcement, and restrictions on restraints for pregnant offenders.
The bill would remove numerous obsolete code sections from the Missouri Revised Statutes and consolidate or reenact surviving policy provisions under updated section numbers and language. Its practical effect is to reduce statutory clutter while preserving active programs and, in some cases, tightening administrative oversight, reporting, and eligibility rules for health plans, tax credits, charter schools, corrections, and motor vehicle administration. It also affects agencies and regulated parties by shifting duties to current departments and boards, updating sunset dates, and clarifying compliance obligations for schools, employers, insurers, developers, and state contractors.
The available context shows no recorded committee debate or vote history for HB 3092, so there is no direct evidence of partisan or stakeholder sentiment in the materials provided. Based on the bill’s caption and structure, it appears to be a largely technical and administrative cleanup measure rather than a controversial policy overhaul. The bill’s broad scope suggests an intent to streamline and modernize the code, which is typically viewed as routine housekeeping legislation.
Because there are no committee transcripts or votes in the provided record, no specific points of contention are documented. That said, the bill touches several areas that can draw scrutiny in practice, including charter school accountability, tax credit limitations and sunsets, corrections treatment of pregnant offenders, and changes to health coverage and retirement-related benefits. Any opposition would likely come from affected agencies, school operators, tax credit beneficiaries, or other stakeholders whose statutory authority or benefits are narrowed, repealed, or restructured.
