Summary — SB 2673 (104th General Assembly, Introduced version)

Status: Died in committee
Introduced: March 13, 2025 (recorded filings contain inconsistent dates)
Primary sponsor: Sen. Dale Fowler
Subject listed: Public Health and Welfare
Note on inconsistencies: The bill header/title information provided (referencing advanced practice registered nurses / nurse anesthetists) does not match the actual text of the introduced bill below, which is an appropriations measure for specific local governments in Jackson County. This summary follows the bill text as provided.

Main purpose

The bill is an appropriations measure that would authorize one-time General Revenue Fund transfers to specific units of local government in Jackson County (Grand Tower area) to help pay Fiscal Year 2026 expenses. It does not enact policy changes to nursing or health professions in the text supplied.

Key provisions

Appropriates funds from the General Revenue Fund for Fiscal Year 2026 as follows (amounts “or so much as may be necessary”):

Grand Tower Township (Jackson County): $243,900
Grand Tower Park District (Jackson County): $117,300
Grand Tower Road and Bridge District (Jackson County): $211,900
Grand Tower Rock (sic) Fire Protection District (Jackson County): $178,500

Each appropriation is described as “in addition to its Fiscal Year 2026 appropriation” and specifically for the purpose of paying Fiscal Year 2026 expenses.

Effective date: July 1, 2025.

Who would be affected

Direct recipients: the four named local government units in or near Grand Tower, Jackson County, which would receive additional FY2026 operating funds.

Indirectly affected: residents and service users in those localities (e.g., township services, park district operations, road and bridge maintenance, and fire protection services), to the extent the funds would support those functions.

State finances: appropriation would draw from the State’s General Revenue Fund, reducing available funds for other state purposes by the amounts appropriated.

Procedural history and status

Filed/introduced in 2025 (records include multiple filing and reading dates; the text includes an “Introduced 10/14/2025” stamp, but other entries list March 13, 2025).

Referred to one or more committees (Public Health and Welfare, Criminal Justice, Assignments noted in the record).

Final recorded status in the materials provided: Died In Committee (date shown as 2025-02-04 in the actions list, which conflicts with filing dates).

Because it died in committee, the bill did not become law and the appropriations would not take effect.

Related legislation

Companion bills listed: HB 2006 and HB 2229 (relationship unclear given the mismatch between title/subject and text).
