AUGUST 1, 2024

Jefferson City — Today, during a press conference at the State Capitol, Governor Parson announced that he has issued Executive Order 24-10, which prohibits the sale of foods containing psychoactive cannabis compounds in the State of Missouri, unless originating from an "approved source." The Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) will take steps to embargo and condemn these products. The order also prohibits psychoactive cannabis products from being sold at retail establishments holding a liquor license.

Governor Parson was joined by Attorney General Andrew Bailey, DHSS Director Paula Nickelson, Department of Public Safety Director Sandy Karsten, and Division of  Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC) Supervisor Mike Leara during the press conference.

"Today, we are announcing new actions to combat the spread of unregulated psychoactive cannabis products that put the health of Missourians at risk," Governor Parson said. "This Executive Order effectively bans the sale of these potentially harmful products in Missouri until such time approved sources can be regulated by the FDA or State of Missouri through legislative action. Protecting Missourians, especially the most vulnerable, our children, has been our guiding principle since the very beginning and remains so today."

“Under state law, Missourians have a right to live free from fraud and deception in the marketplace, and they have the right to know exactly what is in the products they consume,” said Attorney General Bailey. "When purchasing products, Missourians have a right to know if they will be subject to serious and potentially dangerous side effects like psychotic episodes, severe confusion, hallucinations and other life-threatening problems. This is especially important when potentially dangerous products appear to be marketed directly at children. To that end, my investigation to root out any illegal activity, and to hold bad actors accountable, is ongoing. As Attorney General, I will always use every tool at my disposal to halt the sale of dangerous, illicit products that harm Missouri consumers, especially children.”

Governor Parson's action comes in response to a recent increase in availability of products containing psychoactive cannabis and the emerging concerns regarding the health effects of these substances, especially among Missouri's youth. In Missouri,  there has been a 600 percent increase in the number of children 5 and under experiencing cannabis poisoning that resulted in Emergency Room visits or hospitalizations since 2018. Additionally, America’s Poison Control Center has documented that 41 percent of exposures of Delta 8, an unregulated intoxicating hemp product, are occurring in children 12 and younger.  

These intoxicating compounds are currently untested in humans, unregulated, and sold to the public without restriction. Due to lack of regulatory oversight, these products are marketed aggressively and assertively in eye-catching ways to attract public consumption, particularly that of young consumers. Often times, products resemble that of brand name foods and candies, like LIFE SAVERS. Photo examples can be found here.

Consumption of psychoactive cannabis products puts individuals at risk for poisoning, unintended intoxication, contaminants and byproduct effects on the body, impaired driving, and more.

Executive Order 24-10 prohibits psychoactive cannabis products from being sold in Missouri unless originating from an "approved source." Currently, neither the Food and Drug Administration nor the State of Missouri recognize any "approved sources," effectively prohibiting these products from being sold in Missouri until such time the FDA or Missouri General Assembly provide the necessary regulatory framework to recognize "approved sources."

As an enforcement mechanism of this order, any liquor license will be subject to discipline by the Missouri ATC if such psychoactive cannabinoid products are sold within the licensed facility.

Executive Order 24-10 does not apply to products under the control or purview of the Division of Cannabis Regulation pursuant to Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution and sold by establishments licensed pursuant to Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution.

“We have seen the negative impacts of unregulated psychoactive cannabis products firsthand,” Department of Health and Senior Services Director Paula F. Nickelson said. “Numerous Missourians have been adversely affected by consuming foods laced with these products. Disturbingly, children in Missouri and across the nation have been hospitalized after ingesting these substances, and this is unacceptable.”

“As a former state trooper, I worked far too many fatality crashes that resulted from the misuse of regulated intoxicating products,” Department of Public Safety Director Sandy Karsten said. “But unregulated psychoactive cannabis products are untested and sold without any restrictions whatsoever. Law enforcement is encountering this new and often dangerous products and its consequences. Governor Parson’s Executive Order provides a means to control these products and that is exactly what we will be doing.”

“The Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control has jurisdiction over about 17,000 locations with liquor licenses across the state, and our team stands ready to enforce regulations to protect against these unregulated psychoactive cannabis products in these locations,” Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control State Supervisor Mike Leara said. “We have a long history of regulating intoxicating products, including related to ingredients, origin, labeling and age restrictions, and will bring this experience to this critical issue.”

JULY 30, 2024

Jefferson City — Today, during the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce's annual State of the State, Governor Mike Parson announced that Missouri's robust economy and continued revenue strength has triggered an additional income tax cut under Senate Bills (SB) 3 & 5, approved by Governor Parson in 2022. This income tax cut lowers Missouri's top income tax rate to 4.7 percent and marks a more than 20 percent decrease in Missourians' income tax burdens during the Parson Administration.

"As a lifelong conservative, I'm exceptionally proud to announce the fifth income tax cut of our administration," Governor Parson said. "We know there is a lot of noise and nonsense from candidates running for political office wanting Missourians to ignore our wins an focus on their fears, but the reality is Missouri's economy is strong. This year alone, we've nearly added 70,000 jobs to our economy, rank first in the nation for job growth, and businesses continue to grow and invest in our communities at a record pace. The simple fact remains: Missouri is on a solid foundation and Missourians are reaping the rewards by keeping more of their hard-earned money in their pockets, and we offer a special thanks to Lt. Governor Mike Kehoe, Senator Lincoln Hough, and all legislators in support for helping deliver these historic tax cuts to all Missourians."

Even before this income tax cut, Missouri was ranked 11th for the lowest tax burden in the nation, including both state and local taxes, by U.S. News.

“Throughout his time in office, Governor Parson has been consistent in cutting the state’s income tax, this being the fifth cut over the last six years,” Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe said. “I was pleased to support the legislation enabling these tax cuts and am glad to see another cut triggered. This ensures Missourians’ hard-earned dollars remain where they belong – in their own pockets, where they can spend it far better and more wisely than the government. As a state, we must continue to work together to encourage economic growth by ensuring Missourians can spend more of their own money in the state’s economy.”

SBs 3 & 5, passed by the General Assembly and signed by Governor Parson after his special session call in 2022, included additional 0.1 percentage point income tax cut triggers when general revenue increased by $200 million, adjusted for inflation, in a given fiscal year (FY). Net general revenue collections grew by $322.6 million from FY23 to FY24. As a result, Missouri's top income tax rate will be cut from 4.8 percent to 4.7 percent, effective January 1, 2025.

This action marks the fifth income tax cut Governor Parson has implemented during his time in office and a 1.2 percentage point total reduction: 0.5 in 2019, 0.1 in 2022, 0.35 in 2023, 0.15 in 2024, and 0.1 in 2025.

Missourians income tax burdens have now been reduced by more than 20 percent since Governor Parson took office. This was achieved at the same time Missouri's economy earned record wins during the Parson Administration:

• 1st in the nation for job growth in 2024.
• More than 175,000 jobs added to Missouri's economy (since June 2018).
  • Outpacing all neighboring states in manufacturing job growth.
• Lowest unemployment rate ever recorded at 2.1 percent (April 2022).
• Six consecutive years of Missouri's unemployment rate below the national average.
• 61 months of positive job growth – despite a global pandemic.
• $1.9 billion left on the bottom line thanks to conservative and balanced budgets year after year.
• AAA credit rating maintained all six years.
• 40 percent general revenue growth driven by sales tax collections (i.e. Missourians spending their own money).

“This is good news for hard-working Missouri families, and proves our historic tax cut legislation is working exactly as we knew it would," Senator Lincoln Hough said. "More money in Missourians' pockets means more money in the economy and in turn more state revenue, and thanks to our efforts, that revenue is leading to more tax cuts. Every day, I’ll fight for Missourians to keep more of their hard-earned money.”

Note: Section 143.011, RSMo defines net general revenue collected as all revenue deposited into the general revenue fund, less refunds and revenues originally deposited into the general revenue fund but designated by law for a specific distribution or transfer to another state fund.

JULY 23, 2024

Jefferson City — Today, Governor Mike Parson announced that the federal government has approved his request for a major disaster declaration in response to multiple severe weather systems that generated tornadoes, high winds, and flooding across southern Missouri from May 19-27. The declaration makes federal Individual Assistance available to eligible residents in Barry, Butler, Carter, Howell, New Madrid, Ripley, Scott, Shannon, Stoddard, and Texas counties.

Individual Assistance allows eligible residents to seek federal assistance with temporary housing, housing repairs, replacement of damaged belongings, vehicles, and other qualifying expenses.

“This is important news for the Missouri families and communities hit hard by severe weather in late May,” Governor Parson said. “The State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) will be working closely with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to move the federal assistance process forward, which will provide millions of dollars in much needed recovery support for individuals, families, and local jurisdictions.”

Individuals who sustained damage or losses due to severe weather between May 19 and 27 may now apply for FEMA disaster assistance online at www.disasterassistance.gov or by calling FEMA’s toll-free application line at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. Affected individuals are encouraged to document losses, photograph damage, and retain receipts. The faster Missourians register with FEMA, the faster they may be able to receive assistance.

The deadline for most Individual Assistance programs is 60 days following the President’s major disaster declaration. Disaster assistance to eligible individuals generally falls into the following categories:

• Housing Assistance may be available for up to 18 months for displaced persons whose residences were heavily damaged or destroyed. Funding also can be provided for housing repairs and replacement of damaged items to make homes habitable.
• Disaster Grants are available to help meet other serious disaster related needs and necessary expenses not covered by insurance and other aid programs. These may include replacement of personal property, and transportation, medical, dental, and funeral expenses.
• Low-Interest Disaster Loans are available after a disaster for homeowners and renters from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to cover uninsured property losses. Loans may be available for repair or replacement of homes, automobiles, clothing, or other damaged personal property. SBA loans are also available to businesses for property loss and economic injury. Businesses can visit sba.gov or call 1-800-569-2955.
• Other Disaster Aid Programs include crisis counseling, disaster-related unemployment assistance, legal aid and assistance with income tax, Social Security, and veterans’ benefits.

The disaster declaration also makes the FEMA Public Assistance program available to local governments and qualifying nonprofits for the repair of damaged roads, bridges, and other public infrastructure as well as reimbursement of emergency response costs in the following counties: Barry, Bollinger, Butler, Carter, Howell, McDonald, Madison, New Madrid, Oregon, Reynolds, Ripley, Scott, Shannon, Stoddard, and Texas. The Governor’s June 12 request included more than $20 million in qualifying expenses already identified.

In addition to Public and Individual Assistance, the disaster declarationmakes FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Program available statewide to assist with cost-effective measures to reduce the potential for future damage to public infrastructure as a result of natural disasters.

Jefferson City — Today, Governor Mike Parson ordered U.S. and Missouri flags be lowered to half-staff at all government buildings in Jefferson County, the Fire Fighters Memorial of Missouri in Kingdom City, and firehouses statewide on Thursday, July 18, from sunrise to sunset in honor of Affton Fire Protection District Captain James Cova.  

“Captain Jim Cova faithfully devoted over 26 years of his life to the fire service and protecting people and their property,” Governor Parson said. “He proudly served his community until the very end, responding to several emergency calls before suffering a medical emergency that tragically took his life.
