Missouri is one of 17 states that withhold the rights of convicted felons to vote until they complete probation or parole.  The proposal would restore that right as long as the person’s crime … Continue reading "House votes to Restore Voting Rights to Those on Probation and Parole" https://dci.mo.gov/node/2536 2536 at https://dci.mo.gov Wed, 18 Mar 2026 09:00:41 +0000 Trouble on the horizon: Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance warns of growing strain on the state's insurance market from escalating lawsuit abuse katy.linnenbrink Wed, 03/18/2026 - 09:00 Rising premiums expected to continue unless targeted legal reforms are enacted    JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A new report issued by the Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance warns that lawsuit abuse is driving up insurance costs across the state, placing a growing financial burden on Missouri families, businesses and essential service providers while also jeopardizing economic activity.The report finds that social inflation – defined as the increase in the severity of insurance claims beyond what can be explained by purely economic factors – has outpaced economic inflation in recent years, creating mounting pressure on insurers and policyholders alike.“Missouri families are already feeling the impact of rising insurance costs, and lawsuit abuse is only worsening the problem,” DCI Director Angela Nelson said. “When litigation tactics push awards far beyond reasonable damages, those costs don’t just disappear – they show up in higher premiums for consumers and businesses across the state.”From 2017 to 2022, social inflation increased by 5.4% annually, compared to 3.7% for economic inflation, according to Swiss Re data cited in the report. In Missouri alone, the economic toll is substantial. The Perryman Group estimates that excessive litigation results in a “tort tax” of $1,216 for each Missourian, contributing to $7.6 billion in lost economic output and $384 million in lost state revenue each year.The report highlights several practices contributing to rising litigation costs, including third-party litigation funding, in which outside investors finance lawsuits in exchange for a share of potential damages, as well as courtroom strategies designed to influence juries and encourage exceptionally large damage awards.These pressures are already being felt throughout Missouri’s insurance market:63% of foster care providers report difficulty obtaining liability coverage, and 67% have seen premium increases exceeding 50%.  Homeowners insurance premiums are rising at 8-12% annually.  Medical malpractice rates have increased for six consecutive years, with Missouri among 16 states experiencing hikes above 10%.  Nationwide, private passenger auto liability has produced $43 billion in underwriting losses, and Missouri insurers have filed for double-digit rate increases in recent years.Social inflation has largely eroded the benefits of past legislative reforms in Missouri, and St. Louis remains ranked as the sixth-worst “Judicial Hellhole” in the nation for 2025–2026, highlighting ongoing challenges in the state’s litigation environment.“If these trends continue, Missourians and businesses will continue to see higher premiums, have fewer insurance options, and suffer broader economic consequences,” Director Nelson said. “Without meaningful reforms, the impact of lawsuit abuse will continue to grow, and all Missourians will ultimately pay the price through higher insurance premiums.”The report points to reforms adopted in Florida and Georgia as potential models for Missouri, where both states have seen greater market stability, increased participation from insurance carriers, and improved conditions in several insurance lines.“Missouri has an opportunity to act before the problem worsens,” Director Nelson added. “Strategic reforms that promote fairness and transparency in the legal system will stabilize the insurance market, protect consumers, and strengthen Missouri’s economy.” To view the full report on DCI’s website, click here. DCI is charged with protecting Missouri consumers through oversight of the insurance industry, banks, credit unions, utilities and various professional licensees operating in the state.

Each year, Missouri's prevailing wage rates are determined based on information provided through Contractor's Wage Surveys. The deadline for submitting surveys is Jan. 31 and the rates are filed with the Missouri Secretary of State's Office by March 10.Missouri's Prevailing Wage Law establishes a minimum wage rate that must be paid to workers on Missouri public works construction projects valued at more than $75,000, such as bridges, roads, and government buildings. The prevailing wage rate differs by county and for different types of work.State law requires that all workers working on public works projects be paid the proper prevailing wage rate. Prevailing wage rates are determined by actual hours worked, for a particular occupational title (classification/trade) in each individual county throughout the state.The rates must be incorporated into contract specifications for all public works jobs. This is the minimum wage rate required for the project but employers are free to pay a higher rate of pay.Every year, the Division of Labor Standards will release a final Annual Wage Order by July 1. The Annual Wage Order lists the prevailing wage rates in each county for the applicable occupational categories for the next year. The rate is calculated based on information received from Contractor's Wage Surveys, in which contractors voluntarily provide information about their projects that allows the division to calculate the prevailing wage. If the necessary 1,000 hours for each occupational title are not submitted, the department uses wage calculations supplied by the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center (MERIC) within the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development.Preliminary wage rates for individual counties can be viewed on the department website at https://laborwebapps.mo.gov/dls/prevailingwage.

The department also proposes to release the facility from regulation as a former interim status hazardous waste storage facility subject to corrective action requirements of the Missouri Hazardous Waste Management Law and regulations and federal Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. During the public comment period, anyone can request a public meeting or public hearing about the proposed final remedy and regulatory release. For more information, please contact Jesse Smith by telephone at 573-751-3296.Unilever HPC-USA, formerly Chesebrough-Ponds, Inc., operated a commercial manufacturing facility, located on about 75 acres at 2600 West Truman Boulevard in Jefferson City. On Nov. 1, 1966, Chesebrough-Ponds began operating at the site, formulating and packaging health and beauty products such as Vaseline Intensive Care hand lotions, Cutex nail polish removers, Q-Tips and toothpaste. The facility also packaged pre-formulated nail polish, which was brought to the facility in 55-gallon drums. Historically the plant also manufactured cough syrup, lipstick and nail polish.The department determined Unilever closed its regulated unit according to the approved closure plan and met the requirements of federal and state laws and regulations. The necessary steps have been taken to identify, investigate and clean up all solid waste management units and areas of concern at the facility. The program is proposing that no further corrective action is necessary. The statement of basis, which discusses the department’s basis of support for the proposed final remedy, is available online at dnr.mo.gov/waste-recycling/what-were-doing/public-involvement/notices-comments.
