概要

Missouri faces a whirlwind of legislative action and severe weather as spring unfolds. Governor Mike Kehoe signed four bills into law last week, including House Bill 2641, the Intoxicating Cannabinoid Control Act, banning intoxicating hemp products, according to the Missouri Press Association. He also approved House Bill 2934, updating antisemitism policies in schools and colleges, and House Bill 2061 for protections against discrimination. The state Senate advanced its version of spending bills for the fiscal year 2027 budget, as noted by Senator Tracy McCreery in her legislative update.

On the economic front, Governor Kehoe champions phasing out the state income tax, which generates about 60 percent of general revenue, proposing to replace it with higher sales taxes via a voter referendum. Kiplinger reports this could modernize Missouri's tax structure, following last year's capital gains tax elimination.

Communities grapple with battering storms. Supercell thunderstorms hammered central and southwestern Missouri over the weekend, spawning tennis-ball-sized hail, damaging winds, and tornado warnings near Joplin and the Lake of the Ozarks, per Missourinet and National Weather Service meteorologists. Power outages hit Camdenton, Pulaski, and Benton counties. Monday brought fresh threats of large hail, high winds, and strong tornadoes across eastern Missouri, with the Storm Prediction Center issuing moderate risk alerts.

Education and infrastructure see progress, like the Missouri Protoplex opening in Rolla, celebrated by nearly 500 attendees, as covered by Missouri S&T news.

Looking Ahead: Voters may decide on income tax elimination soon, while severe weather risks linger into the week. Watch for budget finalization and conservation events like the Missouri Birding Challenge deadline on April 30.
