State departments would report on groups inactive for three years

Each state department that oversees an administrative entity would report on entities that have been inactive for three years. The report covers entities that have held no public meeting or conducted public business during the most recent three-year period. Reports must describe each entity's mission and whether another entity is performing, or could perform, its duties. The first report would go to every member of the General Assembly by October 1, 2026, with another due every October 1 after that.

The proposed text places some administrative duties with state departments or commissions and removes statutory provisions for several named groups. The named provisions also concern groups related to minority older adults, home care, agricultural marketing, and other state programs. The text assigns life sciences research duties to the Department of Economic Development, interpreter certification duties to the Missouri Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, and boiler safety duties to the Department of Public Safety.
