Summary:
The committee on Crime and Public Safety heard testimony on Senate Bill 1652, which would create a permanent office in the Missouri Department of Public Safety focused on missing and murdered African-American women and girls. Senator Angela Mosley said the office would review cold cases, improve data collection, support community organizations, and include a proposed Phoenix Alert for missing persons. Supporters, including family members and advocates, described long-standing disparities in how missing Black women and girls are treated, said cases are often mislabeled as runaways, and argued the state needs dedicated staff and resources. Some members raised questions about whether the office should serve all missing persons and about the bill’s estimated cost and staffing, but the bill was generally supported in testimony and no vote was taken in the hearing.
The committee then heard Senate Bill 1572, sponsored by Senator Mike Henderson, which would change the membership structure of the St. Louis Police Retirement System board. The bill would stagger the mayor’s two appointments and require the three elected board members to be active commissioned officers elected by active members of the system, with travel time provided for board duties. Henderson said the change was prompted by a prior quorum problem caused by vacancies and illness. The St. Louis Police Retirement System and related city stakeholders supported the bill, describing it as a technical fix to avoid future quorum failures. The measure had already passed the Senate 31-0 and was reported to have passed the House pension committee unanimously.
Finally, the committee heard House Bill 3533, which would raise casino admission fees and gaming taxes and direct additional revenue to state funds, including natural resources, historic preservation, education, and the Gaming Commission. The sponsor framed it as a revenue measure, while the Missouri Gaming Association opposed it, arguing the bill would significantly increase costs on casinos, could reduce reinvestment, and might require voter approval for some sports betting-related changes. The Missouri Chamber of Commerce also opposed the bill in principle, saying it did not want to pick winners and losers through targeted tax increases. No action or vote was taken during the hearing, and the committee adjourned after the HB 3533 testimony.

- So without further delay, we will open the hearing today with House Bill 3359.
- Bill 3359. ...and presenting House Bill 3359, which I am doing so, as the chair mentioned, on behalf

- We need to invest in these students, and House Bill 3359 gives us that reason.
Summary:
The Committee on Higher Education and Workforce Development heard House Bill 3359, presented by Rep. Travis Wilson on behalf of Rep. Riggs. The bill would create a state income tax credit for donations to school robotics/STEAM programs, including cash, equipment, software, materials, curriculum, and employee volunteer hours, beginning with the 2027 tax year. The credit would be 20% of the donation value, capped at $10 million annually, with a six-year sunset. Committee members raised questions about whether the credit applies to individuals or businesses, how volunteer hours would be valued and limited, whether the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education or the Department of Economic Development would administer reporting, and whether the 20% rate should be higher. Several members also questioned the fiscal note and the impact on a tight state budget.
The main witness in support was Sarah Waldron, an 18-year-old Westminster Christian Academy senior and robotics team leader who said she wrote the bill. She argued that robotics programs are expensive, that private investment is needed to improve workforce readiness, and that the bill would help schools in both urban and rural areas. She clarified that the volunteer-hours provision was intended for business employees, not general individual volunteerism, and said the bill could be amended to add guardrails and better target under-resourced schools, including a possible tiered credit based on free-and-reduced-lunch percentages. Committee members praised her initiative and testimony.
One witness testified in opposition, State Public Advocate Arne C. Dinoff, who said robotics is worthwhile but the state cannot afford another tax credit given the budget deficit and the cumulative cost of tax credit programs. He objected particularly to subsidizing volunteerism and said schools should support robotics locally rather than through a state tax credit. No vote was taken; the hearing was closed and the committee adjourned after testimony.

Summary:
The committee heard testimony on Senate Bill 1067, the Uniform Public Expression Protection Act, an anti-SLAPP measure intended to protect Missourians from meritless lawsuits that chill First Amendment activity. Senator Mike Henderson, the bill sponsor, said it would cover speech on matters of public concern, including social media and political speech, and would let defendants seek an early ruling so they are not forced through lengthy, expensive litigation. In response to questions, he said the bill would not eliminate defamation or slander claims and would likely reduce strain on the courts by allowing quicker dismissal of weak cases.
Supporters testified that the bill would protect journalists, broadcasters, and the public from frivolous suits aimed at silencing speech. The Missouri Press Association, the Institute for Free Speech, the Missouri Broadcasters Association, and Missouri Right to Life all spoke in favor. The Institute for Free Speech witness noted the bill is a companion to House Bill 2666 and said similar language has repeatedly received strong bipartisan support in Missouri and has been adopted in 36 states. Committee members asked about examples, the scope of protected speech, and whether expedited procedures would burden courts or disadvantage plaintiffs.
No witnesses spoke in opposition. After the public testimony, the chair closed the hearing on SB 1067 and adjourned the Judiciary Committee.

Summary:
The Committee on Veterans and Armed Forces met briefly and heard an informational presentation from Tron, director of Peterson Outdoors Ministries. He described the ministry’s 20-year effort to provide free outdoor recreational therapy for veterans, active-duty service members, military chaplains, female veterans, and families, centered at the Lodge of Hope near Sheldon, Missouri. He said the program uses hunting, fishing, devotional messages, and adaptive equipment to serve injured and disabled participants, and emphasized its focus on PTSD, family support, and veteran suicide prevention.
Committee members responded positively, thanking him for the ministry’s work and discussing issues such as the high divorce rate among veterans, suicide, and the importance of family healing. Tron explained that the organization is funded mainly through churches, individuals, businesses, sponsorships, and occasional donations from event participants, and that it has expanded with RV pads and a bunkhouse because of growing demand. He also said the group is planning future events for Special Forces, military youth, and marriage retreats, and that the same faith-based model has helped inspire other similar organizations.
No legislation was considered and no votes were taken. The meeting ended after members offered praise and the chair adjourned the committee.

The House took up several Senate-amended bills. On House Bills 2637 and 3155, the House voted to refuse the Senate substitute and request the Senate recede, with a conference committee to be formed if needed. Members discussed the bill’s technical sentencing and effective-date changes, sex offender registry revisions, drone restrictions tied to World Cup events, health care treatment provisions, and prosecutor salary-related language. The House then adopted and finally passed House Bill 2593, the military and veterans bill, by 137-1 and 138-1 votes after debate highlighting expanded military leave, TRICARE and Service Members Civil Relief Act protections, cybersecurity and emergency-response provisions, and National Guard benefits.

Summary:
A House Republican Caucus member described the state of Minnesota as “fraudulent” and “expensive,” arguing that the state is leading the nation in fraud-related headlines and that taxpayers are being burdened by higher taxes, fees, and spending. He said the caucus sees affordability and fraud prevention as its main priorities, along with pushing single-subject bills and strengthening oversight through the Legislative Auditor and the fraud committee.
He said the caucus is focused on rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse and believes ordinary constituents want answers about whether reported fraud numbers are real and how they affect them. He suggested that pressure near the end of session and the upcoming election could lead some DFL lawmakers to support more “reasonable” anti-fraud policies.
Asked what he hoped to hear from the governor’s State of the State address, he said he wanted Governor Walz to take responsibility for the fraud problem, saying he had not yet heard a full acknowledgment of responsibility from the governor’s office. He also characterized the governor as a lame-duck leader trying to shape his legacy.

Summary:
The discussion focused on the upcoming State of the State address and the DFL’s priorities for the remainder of the session. Jamie Long described the speech as a special event in the House chamber and said Minnesota is in good shape overall, crediting Governor Walz with steady leadership through recent challenges, including Operation Metro Surge, economic pressures, and calls for action on gun violence after the Annunciation shooting.
Long said the caucus’s main focus is the cost of living, especially rising gas, food, housing, child care, and health care costs. He said the DFL is pursuing proposals to lower prescription drug prices, limit corporate homebuying, and reduce child care costs, and he emphasized that these issues have broad public support even if they face resistance in the Legislature. He said the caucus hopes to win bipartisan support for these measures.
On the governor’s legacy, Long praised Walz as a strong partner to the Legislature and pointed to the 2023 and 2024 sessions as among the most impactful in state history. He cited accomplishments including investments in public schools, paid family and medical leave, 100% clean energy, and gun violence prevention, and said Walz can be proud of his eight years leading Minnesota.

Summary:
The committee heard House File 3532, authored by Rep. Olson, which would adjust eligibility for burial in Minnesota state cemeteries. Olson explained that current law generally requires 181 days of active military service, and argued that this excludes many long-serving National Guard, Air Guard, and Reserve members who may not have had uninterrupted active-duty time despite years of service. The bill would allow burial eligibility for individuals who complete an entire contract with an honorable discharge, or who die while serving.
Members spoke in support, saying Guard and Reserve service should be recognized regardless of whether members were called up for active duty and that their assigned status should not affect burial rights or benefits. One member also praised the bill as an example of representative democracy and thanked Olson for bringing forward an issue close to affected service members.
The committee then voted to recommend House File 3532 be placed on the general register. The motion passed by voice vote with no opposition noted.

Summary:
The House opened with prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, a roll call establishing a quorum, approval of the prior day’s journal, adoption of committee reports, and the first readings of several House and Senate files. The chamber also received Senate File 476, which was referred to Ways and Means, and Senate File 4807, which was sent for comparison with a House file. The Speaker announced members to escort the Governor to the joint convention on April 28.
The main floor action was House File 3489, an education bill establishing field trip supervision rules and creating the criminal offense of grooming. Representative Bennett described the bill as a response to survivor testimony and explained that it would prohibit staff from being alone with students in certain circumstances, create felony penalties for grooming, make grooming grounds for educator license discipline, add grooming to mandatory reporting and training, and allow the Department of Education to look back further in investigations. Bennett and several members also noted the bill’s fiscal note, including added investigative staffing and prison costs.
During debate, multiple members from both parties voiced support, emphasizing student safety, mandatory reporter training, clearer field trip rules, and better communication with licensing boards. Several members thanked survivor Hannah LaPresto and Detective Chad Clausen for their work and testimony, and some members stressed that grooming is a deliberate process and that the bill is intended to protect children without vilifying educators. Representative Jordan also highlighted prevention through education about consent and grooming. No amendments were offered, and the bill was given its third reading; members repeatedly urged a green vote, though the transcript provided does not include the final roll-call result.
