Summary of HB 3064 (Session 2026, Missouri)

Purpose and intent

  • Designates a state official band for Missouri. Specifically, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils would be named and recognized as the official state band.

Key provisions and changes

  • Adds a new section to Chapter 10 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo), proposed as Section 10.285.
  • Text states: “The Ozark Mountain Daredevils are selected for and shall be known as the official band for the state of Missouri.”
  • No other programmatic funding, duties, or duties, or enforcement mechanisms are specified in the bill. The designation appears to be ceremonial.

Who/what is affected

  • Affects Missouri’s official symbols framework by creating a formal designation for the state’s official band.
  • The Ozark Mountain Daredevils (as a musical group) would be recognized in state materials, celebrations, and any ceremonial references as the official band.
  • Other state agencies, schools, event organizers, and state-affiliated groups might reference this designation in promotional or commemorative contexts.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Introduced in the 2026 session by Representative Mayhew; co-sponsored by Don Mayhew.
  • Legislative history:
    • January 21, 2026: Introduced and read first time.
    • January 22, 2026: Read second time.
    • May 15, 2026: Referred to Emerging Issues (H) committee.
  • If enacted, the designation would take effect as part of the state’s laws once the bill is signed into law and becomes effective according to the standard effective-date provisions (not specified in the text provided).

Additional notes

  • The bill’s explanatory notes indicate the bolded language in the text reflects proposed changes, while brackets indicate text proposed for omission (none of that appears in the excerpt beyond standard formatting).
  • The action history shows a straightforward path through committee and chamber, with designation solely as an official state band and no accompanying programmatic funding or responsibilities outlined.

If you’d like, I can compare this bill to similar state-designation bills (e.g., other official state bands or symbols) or provide a plain-language briefing for a general audience.
