Journal of the House


Second Regular Session, 93rd General Assembly




SIXTY-NINTH DAY, Monday, May 8, 2006

The House met pursuant to adjournment.


            Speaker Jetton in the Chair.


            Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.


              O Lord, Almighty, You are enthroned between the mighty cherubim! You alone are God of all the kingdoms of the Earth. You alone created the Heavens and the Earth.


              As we begin our final week of this session, we recognize that the decisions made and laws enacted, affect all of us, including our families. We are those who have remained honest and fair, who rejected making a profit by fraud, who stayed far away from inducements, who refused to listen to those who plot evil, who shut our eyes to all enticement to do wrong.


              Long after the last gavel, we will not turn our backs on wisdom, for wisdom protects us. We embrace wisdom, and it guards us.


              In our going out and coming in, throughout this week, Your wisdom is our constant companion. By You, our steps will not be impeded nor will we stumble.


              We honor You, Lord God! You have made our state and our nation great; You have extended Your grace and mercy to us.


              And it’s in the name of Your Son we pray. Amen.


            The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.


            The Speaker appointed the following to act as an Honorary Page for the Day, to serve without compensation: Zoe Anastosopolos.


            The Journal of the sixty-eighth day was approved as corrected.

            Representative Ervin offered House Amendment No. 1.


House Amendment No. 1


AMEND Senate Bill No. 766, Page 1, Section A, Line 2, by inserting after all of said line the following:


              "143.121. 1. The Missouri adjusted gross income of a resident individual shall be the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income subject to the modifications in this section.

              2. There shall be added to the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income:

              (a) The amount of any federal income tax refund received for a prior year which resulted in a Missouri income tax benefit;

              (b) Interest on certain governmental obligations excluded from federal gross income by Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code. The previous sentence shall not apply to interest on obligations of the state of Missouri or any of its political subdivisions or authorities and shall not apply to the interest described in subdivision (a) of subsection 3 of this section. The amount added pursuant to this paragraph shall be reduced by the amounts applicable to such interest that would have been deductible in computing the taxable income of the taxpayer except only for the application of Section 265 of the Internal Revenue Code. The reduction shall only be made if it is at least five hundred dollars;

              (c) The amount of any deduction that is included in the computation of federal taxable income pursuant to Section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code as amended by the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002 to the extent the amount deducted relates to property purchased on or after July 1, 2002, but before July 1, 2003, and to the extent the amount deducted exceeds the amount that would have been deductible pursuant to Section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as in effect on January 1, 2002; and

              (d) The amount of any deduction that is included in the computation of federal taxable income for net operating loss allowed by Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, other than the deduction allowed by Section 172(b)(1)(G) and Section 172(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for a net operating loss the taxpayer claims in the tax year in which the net operating loss occurred or carries forward for a period of more than twenty years and carries backward for more than two years. Any amount of net operating loss taken against federal income taxes but disallowed against Missouri income taxes pursuant to this paragraph since July 1, 2002, may be carried forward and taken against any loss on the Missouri income tax return for a period of not more than twenty years from the year of the initial loss.

              3. There shall be subtracted from the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income the following amounts to the extent included in federal adjusted gross income:

              (a) Interest or dividends on obligations of the United States and its territories and possessions or of any authority, commission or instrumentality of the United States to the extent exempt from Missouri income taxes pursuant to the laws of the United States. The amount subtracted pursuant to this paragraph shall be reduced by any interest on indebtedness incurred to carry the described obligations or securities and by any expenses incurred in the production of interest or dividend income described in this paragraph. The reduction in the previous sentence shall only apply to the extent that such expenses including amortizable bond premiums are deducted in determining the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income or included in the taxpayer's Missouri itemized deduction. The reduction shall only be made if the expenses total at least five hundred dollars;

              (b) The portion of any gain, from the sale or other disposition of property having a higher adjusted basis to the taxpayer for Missouri income tax purposes than for federal income tax purposes on December 31, 1972, that does not exceed such difference in basis. If a gain is considered a long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes, the modification shall be limited to one-half of such portion of the gain;

              (c) The amount necessary to prevent the taxation pursuant to this chapter of any annuity or other amount of income or gain which was properly included in income or gain and was taxed pursuant to the laws of Missouri for a taxable year prior to January 1, 1973, to the taxpayer, or to a decedent by reason of whose death the taxpayer acquired the right to receive the income or gain, or to a trust or estate from which the taxpayer received the income or gain;

              (d) Accumulation distributions received by a taxpayer as a beneficiary of a trust to the extent that the same are included in federal adjusted gross income;

              (e) The amount of any state income tax refund for a prior year which was included in the federal adjusted gross income;

              (f) The portion of capital gain specified in section 135.357, RSMo, that would otherwise be included in federal adjusted gross income;

              (g) The amount that would have been deducted in the computation of federal taxable income pursuant to Section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code as in effect on January 1, 2002, to the extent that amount relates to property purchased on or after July 1, 2002, but before July 1, 2003, and to the extent that amount exceeds the amount actually deducted pursuant to Section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code as amended by the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002; and

              (h) For all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, the amount of any income received for military service while the taxpayer serves in a combat zone which is included in federal adjusted gross income and not otherwise excluded therefrom. As used in this section, "combat zone" means any area which the President of the United States by Executive Order designates as an area in which armed forces of the United States are or have engaged in combat. Service is performed in a combat zone only if performed on or after the date designated by the President by Executive Order as the date of the commencing of combat activities in such zone, and on or before the date designated by the President by Executive Order as the date of the termination of combatant activities in such zone.

              4. There shall be added to or subtracted from the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income the taxpayer's share of the Missouri fiduciary adjustment provided in section 143.351.

               5. There shall be added to or subtracted from the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income the modifications provided in section 143.411.

              6. (1) As used in this subsection, "qualified health insurance premium" means the amount paid during the tax year by such taxpayer for any insurance policy primarily providing health care coverage for the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, or the taxpayer's dependants.

              (2) In addition to the subtractions in subsection 3 of this section, qualified health insurance premiums shall be subtracted from the taxpayer's federal adjusted gross income to the extent included in federal adjusted gross income. The taxpayer shall provide the department of revenue with proof of the amount of qualified health insurance premiums paid. The amounts to be subtracted shall be as follows:

              (a) For tax year 2006, up to twenty percent of such qualified health insurance premiums;

              (b) For tax year 2007, up to forty percent of such qualified health insurance premiums;

              (c) For tax year 2008, up to sixty percent of such qualified health insurance premiums;

              (d) For tax year 2009, up to eighty percent of such qualified health insurance premiums; and

              (e) For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2010, up to one hundred percent of such qualified health insurance premiums."; and


              Further amend said title, enacting clause and intersectional references accordingly.

House Amendment No. 1


AMEND House Committee Substitute for Senate Substitute for Senate Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 892, Section 408.555, Page 12, Line 1, by inserting immediately preceding all of said line the following:


              “404.051. 1. The custodian shall collect, hold, maintain, manage, invest and reinvest the custodial property. The custodian may accept a transfer of additional property for the same minor into the custodianship and may consolidate into a single custodianship custodial property received for the same minor from multiple transfers or transferors.

              2. The custodian may deliver, pay over to the minor for expenditure by the minor, or expend for the minor's benefit, so much of the custodial property as the custodian determines advisable for the use and benefit of the minor, without court order and without regard to the duty or ability of the custodian in the custodian's individual capacity or of any other person to support the minor, or any other income or property of the minor.

              3. Upon the petition of a parent, guardian or conservator of a minor, an adult member of the minor's family, any person interested in the welfare of the minor, or of the minor if the minor has attained the age of fourteen years, the court may order the custodian to expend or to pay over to the minor or the minor's parent, guardian or conservator so much of the custodial property as the court determines advisable for the use and benefit of the minor.

              4. Any delivery, payment or expenditure pursuant to subsections 2 and 3 of this section is in addition to, not in substitution for, and does not affect, the obligation of any person to support the minor.

              5. (1) To the extent that the custodial property has not been expended, the custodian shall deliver the custodial property in an appropriate manner, free of the custodianship, as follows:

              (a) To the minor on attaining the age of twenty-one years, or on attaining the age of eighteen years for custodial property created by a transfer of property from a person other than a donor and the minor requests the property; or

              (b) On the minor's death, to the minor's estate.

              (2) If the custodian does not deliver the custodial property to the minor or the minor's estate as prescribed in subdivision (1) of this subsection, the minor or the minor's personal representative may petition the court to declare the custodianship terminated and to order delivery of the custodial property to the minor or to the minor's estate free of the custodianship.

              (3) To the extent the custodial property is real property, a conveyance and delivery of the real property by the minor after attaining the age at which the minor is entitled to the property free of the custodianship, or by the minor's heirs, or by the minor's personal representative, shall terminate the custodian's powers, duties and rights with respect to the real property.

              (4) If the minor is an incapacitated person at the time the minor would otherwise be entitled to receive the custodial property free of the custodianship, the custodian shall deliver the custodial property to the incapacitated person's conservator. If the incapacitated person has no conservator, the custodian may transfer the custodial property to any adult person or financial institution, including the custodian, as personal custodian for the incapacitated person under any law providing for custodianship of property for incapacitated adult persons.

              6. The custodian is under a duty to act in the interest of the minor and to avoid conflicts of interest that impair the custodian's ability to so act. In dealing with the custodial property, the custodian shall observe the degree of care that would be observed by a prudent person dealing with the property and conducting the affairs of another, except that all investments made on or after August 28, 1998, shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Missouri prudent investor act, sections [456.900 to 456.913] 469.900 to 469.913, RSMo. The custodian is not limited by any other statute restricting investments or expenditures by fiduciaries. If the custodian has special skills or is named custodian on the basis of representations of special skills or expertise, the custodian is under a duty to use those skills. The custodian, in the custodian's discretion and without liability to the minor or the minor's estate, may retain any custodial property received under sections 404.005 to 404.094, and may hold money or securities in the financial institution or brokerage company to which the property was delivered by the transferor.

              7. The custodian may invest in and pay premiums out of custodial property for life or endowment insurance policies on the life of the minor or the life of another person in whom the minor has an insurable interest, provided the insurance proceeds will be distributed on the death of the insured life to the minor, the minor's estate or the custodian in the custodian's representative capacity.

              8. Subject to the degree of care prescribed in subsection 6 of this section, the custodian, acting in the capacity of custodian for the benefit of the minor, has all rights, power and authority over the custodial property that unmarried, nonincapacitated adult owners have over their own property, except the power to make a gift of the minor's property unless the gift to be made is approved by a court.

              9. The custodian at all times shall keep custodial property separate and distinct from all other property in a manner to identify it clearly as custodial property of the minor. Custodial property consisting of an undivided interest in property is sufficiently separate and distinct if the custodian's interest in the property is held as a tenant in common with the other owners of the property and the minor's proportional interest in the property is fixed. Custodial property is sufficiently so identified if it is held in the name of the custodian in the manner prescribed in section 404.707.

              10. The custodian may establish checking, savings or other similar accounts with financial institutions and brokers whereby both the custodian and the minor may withdraw money from the account or draw checks against the account. Money withdrawn from an account or checks written against an account by the minor shall be treated as a delivery of custodial property from the custodian to the minor.

              11. Subject to the degree of care prescribed in subsection 6 of this section, the custodian, acting in the capacity of custodian and for the benefit of the minor, may borrow money, lend money, acquire by lease the use of property for the minor, lease custodial property and enter into contracts under which the performance required by such agreements may extend beyond the date the custodianship terminates. The custodian shall hold property that is borrowed or leased for the minor as custodial property in the name of the custodian in the manner prescribed in section 404.047.

              12. The custodian shall keep records of all transactions with respect to the custodial property, including information necessary for preparation of the minor's tax returns, and make them available for inspection at reasonable intervals by a parent, the minor if the minor has attained the age of fourteen years, an adult member of the minor's family if the minor has no living parent, and a legal representative of the minor.

              13. The minor's custodian may comply with an agreement with a transferor of property to the minor, including an agreement respecting investment objectives, expenses, compensation, resignation and naming of successor custodians, to the extent that such agreement does not conflict with the custodian's obligations to the minor under sections 404.005 to 404.094.

 

              404.550. 1. The personal custodian shall collect, hold, maintain, manage, invest and reinvest the custodial property. The personal custodian may accept a transfer of additional property for the same beneficiary into the personal custodianship and may consolidate into a single custodianship custodial property received for the same beneficiary from multiple transfers or transferors.

              2. The personal custodian shall deliver, pay over to the beneficiary for expenditure by the beneficiary or expend for the beneficiary's benefit, so much of the custodial property as the beneficiary may from time to time direct. If the beneficiary is an incapacitated person, the personal custodian may deliver, pay over to the beneficiary for expenditure by the beneficiary or expend for the beneficiary's benefit, so much of the custodial property as the personal custodian determines advisable for the use and benefit of the beneficiary and those members of the beneficiary's family who are legally entitled to support by the beneficiary or who were supported by the beneficiary at the time the beneficiary became incapacitated, without court order and without regard to the duty or ability of the personal custodian in the personal custodian's individual capacity or of any other person to support the beneficiary, or any other income or property of the beneficiary.

              3. (1) Upon the petition of the beneficiary, guardian or conservator of an incapacitated beneficiary, an adult member of a beneficiary's family or any person interested in the welfare of the beneficiary, the court may order the personal custodian to expend or to pay over to the beneficiary or the beneficiary's guardian or conservator so much of the custodial property as the court determines advisable for the use and benefit of the beneficiary.

              (2) Upon petition of a personal custodian, the beneficiary, an adult member of the beneficiary's family or any person interested in the welfare of the beneficiary, the probate division of the circuit court shall determine and declare whether the beneficiary is a disabled or incapacitated person.

              4. Any delivery, payment or expenditure under subsections 2 and 3 of this section is in addition to, not in substitution for, and does not affect the obligation of any person to support the incapacitated beneficiary or the incapacitated beneficiary's dependents.

              5. The personal custodian is under a duty to act in the interest of the beneficiary and to avoid conflicts of interest that impair the personal custodian's ability to so act. In dealing with the custodial property, the personal custodian shall follow the investment and other directions of a beneficiary who is not incapacitated and shall observe the degree of care that would be observed by a prudent person dealing with the property and conducting the affairs of another, except that all investments made on or after August 28, 1998, shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Missouri prudent investor act, sections [456.900 to 456.913] 469.900 to 469.913, RSMo. The personal custodian is not limited by any other statute restricting investments or expenditures by fiduciaries. If the personal custodian has special skills or is named personal custodian on the basis of representation of special skills or expertise, the custodian is under a duty to use those skills. The personal custodian, in the custodian's discretion and without liability to the beneficiary or the beneficiary's estate, may retain any custodial property received under sections 404.400 to 404.650, and may hold money or securities in the financial institution or brokerage company to which the property was delivered by the transferor.

              6. The personal custodian may invest in and pay premiums out of custodial property for life or endowment insurance policies on the life of the beneficiary or the life of another person in whom the beneficiary has an insurable interest, provided the insurance proceeds will be distributed on the death of the insured life to the beneficiary, the persons designated by an adult nonincapacitated beneficiary, the beneficiary's estate or the personal custodian in the personal custodian's representative capacity.

              7. Subject to the degree of care prescribed in subsection 5 of this section, the personal custodian, acting in the capacity of personal custodian for the benefit of the beneficiary, has all rights, power and authority over the custodial property that unmarried, nonincapacitated adult owners have over their own property, except the power to make a gift of the beneficiary's property (i) unless granted such power by a nonincapacitated beneficiary in a writing signed and dated, and acknowledged or proved and certified in the manner provided by law for conveyances of real estate, or (ii) unless the gift to be made is approved by a court under section 475.094, RSMo.

              8. The personal custodian at all times shall keep custodial property separate and distinct from all other property in a manner to identify it clearly as custodial property of the beneficiary. Custodial property consisting of an undivided interest in property is sufficiently separate and distinct if the personal custodian's interest in the property is held as a tenant in common with the other owners of the property and the beneficiary's proportional interest in the property is fixed. Custodial property is sufficiently so identified if it is held in the name of the personal custodian in the manner prescribed in section 404.540.

              9. The personal custodian may establish checking, savings or other similar accounts with financial institutions and brokers whereby both the personal custodian and the beneficiary may withdraw money from the account or draw or issue checks or drafts against the account. Money withdrawn from an account or checks written against an account by the beneficiary shall be treated as a delivery of custodial property from the personal custodian to the beneficiary.

              10. Subject to the degree of care prescribed in subsection 5 of this section, the personal custodian, acting in the capacity of personal custodian and for the benefit of the beneficiary, may borrow money, lend money, acquire by lease the use of property for the beneficiary, lease custodial property and enter into contracts under which the performance required by such agreements may extend beyond the date the personal custodianship terminates. The personal custodian shall hold property that is borrowed or leased for the beneficiary as custodial property in the name of the personal custodian in the manner prescribed in section 404.540.

              11. The personal custodian shall keep records of all transactions with respect to the custodial property, including information necessary for preparation of the beneficiary's tax returns, and make them available for inspection at reasonable intervals by the beneficiary, an adult member of the beneficiary's family if the beneficiary is incapacitated, and a legal representative of the beneficiary.

              12. The power, authority, duties and responsibilities of a personal custodian, as provided in sections 404.400 to 404.650, may be modified by the provisions of a written agreement between the transferor or beneficiary and personal custodian.

  

              404.714. 1. An attorney in fact who elects to act under a power of attorney is under a duty to act in the interest of the principal and to avoid conflicts of interest that impair the ability of the attorney in fact so to act. A person who is appointed an attorney in fact under a power of attorney, either durable or not durable, who undertakes to exercise the authority conferred in the power of attorney, has a fiduciary obligation to exercise the powers conferred in the best interests of the principal, and to avoid self-dealing and conflicts of interest, as in the case of a trustee with respect to the trustee's beneficiary or beneficiaries; and in the absence of explicit authorization, the attorney in fact shall exercise a high degree of care in maintaining, without modification, any estate plan which the principal may have in place, including, but not limited to, arrangements made by the principal for disposition of assets at death through beneficiary designations, ownership by joint tenancy or tenancy by the entirety, trust arrangements or by will or codicil. Unless otherwise provided in the power of attorney or in a separate agreement between the principal and attorney in fact, an attorney in fact who elects to act shall exercise the authority granted in a power of attorney with that degree of care that would be observed by a prudent person dealing with the property and conducting the affairs of another, except that all investments made on or after August 28, 1998, shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Missouri prudent investor act, sections [456.900 to 456.913] 469.900 to 469.913, RSMo. If the attorney in fact has special skills or was appointed attorney in fact on the basis of representations of special skills or expertise, the attorney in fact has a duty to use those skills in the principal's behalf.

              2. On matters undertaken or to be undertaken in the principal's behalf and to the extent reasonably possible under the circumstances, an attorney in fact has a duty to keep in regular contact with the principal, to communicate with the principal and to obtain and follow the instructions of the principal.

              3. If the principal is not available to communicate in person with the attorney in fact because:

              (1) The principal is missing under such circumstances that it is not known whether the principal is alive or dead; or

              (2) The principal is captured, interned, besieged or held hostage or prisoner in a foreign country;


the authority of the attorney in fact under a power of attorney, whether durable or not, shall not terminate and the attorney in fact may continue to exercise the authority conferred, faithfully and in the best interests of the principal, until the principal returns or is publicly declared dead by a governmental agency, domestic or foreign, or is presumed dead because of continuous absence of five years as provided in section 472.290, RSMo 1986, or a similar law of the place of the last known domicile of the person whose absence is in question.

              4. If, following execution of a power of attorney, the principal is absent or becomes wholly or partially disabled or incapacitated, or if there is a question with regard to the ability or capacity of the principal to give instructions to and supervise the acts and transactions of the attorney in fact, an attorney in fact exercising authority under a power of attorney, either durable or not durable, may consult with any person or persons previously designated by the principal for such purpose, and may also consult with and obtain information from the principal's spouse, physician, attorney, accountant, any member of the principal's family or other person, corporation or government agency with respect to matters to be undertaken in the principal's behalf and affecting the principal's personal affairs, welfare, family, property and business interests.

              5. If, following execution of a durable power of attorney, a court appoints a legal representative for the principal, the attorney in fact shall follow the instructions of the court or of the legal representative, and shall communicate with and be accountable to the principal's guardian on matters affecting the principal's personal welfare and to the principal's conservator on matters affecting the principal's property and business interests, to the extent that the responsibilities of the guardian or conservator and the authority of the attorney in fact involve the same subject matter.

              6. The authority of an attorney in fact, under a power of attorney that is not durable, is suspended during any period that the principal is disabled or incapacitated to the extent that the principal is unable to receive or evaluate information or to communicate decisions with respect to the subject of the power of attorney; and an attorney in fact exercising authority under a power of attorney that is not durable shall not act in the principal's behalf during any period that the attorney in fact knows the principal is so disabled or incapacitated.

An attorney in fact shall exercise authority granted by the principal in accordance with the instrument setting forth the power of attorney, any modification made therein by the principal or the principal's legal representative or a court, and the oral and written instructions of the principal, or the written instructions of the principal's legal representative or a court.

              8. An attorney in fact may be instructed in a power of attorney that the authority granted shall not be exercised until, or shall terminate on, the happening of a future event, condition or contingency, as determined in a manner prescribed in the instrument.

              9. On the death of the principal, the attorney in fact shall follow the instructions of the court, if any, having jurisdiction over the estate of the principal, or any part thereof, and shall communicate with and be accountable to the principal's personal representative, or if none, the principal's successors; and the attorney in fact shall promptly deliver to and put in the possession and control of the principal's personal representative or successors, any property of the principal and copies of any records of the attorney in fact relating to transactions undertaken in the principal's behalf that are deemed by the personal representative or the court to be necessary or helpful in the administration of the decedent's estate.

              10. If an attorney in fact has a property or contract interest in the subject of the power of attorney or the authority of the attorney in fact is otherwise coupled with an interest in a person other than the principal, this section does not impose any duties on the attorney in fact that would conflict or be inconsistent with that interest.”; and

              2. Subsection 1 of this section does not apply to the terms of a trust that provide any beneficial interest or fiduciary appointment for a former spouse or a relative of a former spouse that was created after the marriage was dissolved or annulled, or that expressly states that marriage dissolution or annulment shall not affect the designation of a former spouse or relative of a former spouse as a beneficiary or a fiduciary of the trust.

              3. A court may order or the settlor and the spouse may agree before, during, or after the marriage in a binding contract or settlement agreement that subsection 1 of this section does not apply to a beneficial interest or fiduciary appointment.

              4. If a court finds that in the interest of justice a proceeding or a file should be located in another court of this state, the court making the finding may transfer the proceeding or file to the other court.


              456.3-301. 1. Notice to a person who may represent and bind another person under sections 456.3-301 to 456.3-305 has the same effect as if notice were given directly to the other person.  

              2. The consent of a person who may represent and bind another person under sections 456.3-301 to 456.3-305 is binding on the person represented unless the person represented objects to the representation before the consent would otherwise have become effective.

              3. Except as otherwise provided in sections 456.4A-411 and 456.6-602, a person who under sections 456.3-301 to 456.3-305 may represent a settlor who lacks capacity may receive notice and give a binding consent on the settlor's behalf.

              4. A settlor may not represent and bind a beneficiary under sections 456.3-301 to 456.3-305 with respect to the termination or modification of a trust under section 456.4-411A.

Unless otherwise represented, a minor, incapacitated, or unborn individual, or a person whose identity or location is unknown and not reasonably ascertainable, may be represented by and bound by another having a substantially identical interest with respect to the particular question or dispute, but only to the extent there is no conflict of interest between the representative and the person represented with respect to a particular question or dispute.

              2. Unless otherwise represented, a beneficiary who is not a qualified beneficiary may be represented by and bound by a qualified beneficiary having a substantially identical interest with respect to the particular question or dispute, but only to the extent there is no conflict of interest with respect to the particular question or dispute between the representative and the person represented, in any court proceeding under subsection 2 of section 456.4-412, or in a nonjudicial settlement agreement entered into under section 456.1-111 in lieu of such a court proceeding.


              456.4-401. A trust may be created by:

              (2) declaration by the owner of property that the owner holds identifiable property as trustee;

              (3) exercise of a power of appointment in favor of a trustee; or

              (4) a court under section 475.092, 475.093, or 511.030, RSMo, or 42 U.S.C. Section 1396p(d)(4).


              456.4-402. 1. Other than for a trust created by section 475.092, 475.093, or 511.030, RSMo, or 42 U.S.C. Section 1396p(d)(4), a trust is created only if:

              (1) the settlor has capacity to create a trust;

              (2) the settlor indicates an intention to create the trust;

              (3) the trust has a definite beneficiary or is:

              (a) a charitable trust;

              (b) a trust for the care of an animal, as provided in section 456.4-408; or

              (c) a trust for a noncharitable purpose, as provided in section 456.4-409;

              (4) the trustee has duties to perform; and

              (5) the same person is not the sole trustee and sole beneficiary.

              2. A beneficiary is definite if the beneficiary can be ascertained now or in the future, subject to any applicable rule against perpetuities.

              3. A power in a trustee to select a beneficiary from an indefinite class is valid. If the power is not exercised within a reasonable time, the power fails and the property subject to the power passes to the persons who would have taken the property had the power not been conferred.


              456.4-411A. 1. Except for a trust established by a court under section 475.092, 475.093, 511.033, RSMo, or 42 U.S.C. Section 1396p(d)(4), a noncharitable irrevocable trust may be modified or terminated upon consent of the settlor and all beneficiaries, without court approval, even if the modification or termination is inconsistent with a material purpose of the trust. A settlor's power to consent to a trust's termination or modification may be exercised by an agent under a power of attorney only to the extent expressly authorized by the power of attorney or the terms of the trust; by the settlor's conservator with the approval of the court supervising the conservatorship if an agent is not so authorized; or by the settlor's conservator ad litem with the approval of the court if an agent is not so authorized and a conservator has not been appointed.

              2. Upon termination of a trust under subsection 1 of this section, the trustee shall distribute the trust property as agreed by the beneficiaries.

              3. If not all of the beneficiaries consent to a proposed modification or termination of the trust under subsection 1 of this section, the modification or termination may be approved by the court if the court is satisfied that:

              (1) if all of the beneficiaries had consented, the trust could have been modified or terminated under subsection 1 of this section; and

              (2) the interests of a beneficiary who does not consent will be adequately protected.


              456.4-411B. 1. When all of the adult beneficiaries having the capacity to contract consent, the court may, upon finding that the interest of any nonconsenting beneficiary will be adequately protected, modify the terms of a noncharitable irrevocable trust so as to reduce or eliminate the interests of some beneficiaries and increase those of others, change the times or amounts of payments and distributions to beneficiaries, or provide for termination of the trust at a time earlier or later than that specified by its terms. The court may at any time upon its own motion appoint a representative pursuant to section 456.3-305 to represent a nonconsenting beneficiary. The court shall appoint such a representative upon the motion of any party, unless the court determines such an appointment is not appropriate under the circumstances.

              2. Upon termination of a trust under subsection 1 of this section, the trustee shall distribute the trust property as directed by the court.

              3. If a trust cannot be terminated or modified under subsection 1 of this section because not all adult beneficiaries having capacity to contract consent or the terms of the trust prevent such modification or termination, the modification or termination may be approved by the court if the court is satisfied that the interests of a beneficiary, other than the settlor, who does not consent will be adequately protected, modification or termination will benefit a living settlor who is also a beneficiary, and:

              (1) in the case of a termination, the party seeking termination establishes that continuance of the trust is not necessary to achieve any material purpose of the trust; or

              (2) in the case of a modification, the party seeking modification establishes that the modification is not inconsistent with a material purpose of the trust, and the modification is not specifically prohibited by the terms of the trust.

              4. This section shall apply to trusts created under trust instruments that become irrevocable on or after January 1, 2005. The provisions of section 456.590 shall apply to all trusts that were created under trust instruments that become irrevocable prior to January 1, 2005.


              456.5-501. Except as otherwise provided in sections 456.5-506 to 456.5-507, to the extent a beneficiary's interest is not [protected by] subject to a spendthrift provision, an assignee or a judgment creditor of the beneficiary may, without court order, reach the beneficiary's interest by attachment of present or future distributions to or for the benefit of the beneficiary or other means. The court may limit the award to such relief as is appropriate under the circumstances.

              456.5-504. 1. [Except as otherwise provided in section 456.5-503, whether or not a trust contains a spendthrift provision, a creditor of a beneficiary may not compel a distribution that is subject to the trustee's discretion, even if:

              (1) the discretion is expressed in the form of a standard of distribution; or

              (2) the trustee has abused the discretion.] A beneficiary's interest in a trust that is subject to the trustee's discretion does not constitute an interest in property or an enforceable right even if the discretion is expressed in the form of a standard of distribution or the beneficiary is then serving as a trustee or co-trustee. A creditor or other claimant may not attach present or future distributions from such an interest or right, obtain an order from a court forcing the judicial sale of the interest or compelling the trustee to make distributions, or reach the interest or right by any other means, even if the trustee has abused the trustee's discretion.

              2. This section does not limit the right of a beneficiary to maintain a judicial proceeding against a trustee for an abuse of discretion or failure to comply with a standard for distribution.

              3. This section applies whether or not an interest is subject to a spendthrift provision.

              4. For purposes of this section, a beneficiary's interest in a trust is subject to the trustee's discretion if that interest does not constitute a mandatory distribution as defined in subsection 1 of section 456.5-506.


              456.5-506. 1. As used in this section, "mandatory distribution" means a distribution of income or principal which the trustee is required to make to a beneficiary under the terms of the trust, including a distribution upon termination of the trust. The term does not include a distribution subject to the exercise of the trustee's discretion even if (1) the discretion is expressed in the form of a standard of distribution, or (2) the terms of the trust authorizing a distribution couple language of discretion with language of direction.

              2. Whether or not a trust contains a spendthrift provision, a creditor or assignee of a beneficiary may reach a mandatory distribution of income or principal, including a distribution upon termination of the trust, if the trustee has not made the distribution to the beneficiary within a reasonable time after the required distribution date.


              456.7-703. 1. Cotrustees shall act by majority decision.

              2. If a vacancy occurs in a cotrusteeship, the remaining cotrustees may act for the trust.

              3. A cotrustee must participate in the performance of a trustee's function unless the cotrustee is unavailable to perform the function because of absence, illness, disqualification under other law, or other temporary incapacity or the cotrustee has properly delegated the performance of the function to another trustee.

              4. If a cotrustee is unavailable to perform duties because of absence, illness, disqualification under other law, or other temporary incapacity, and prompt action is necessary to achieve the purposes of the trust or to avoid injury to the trust property, the remaining cotrustee or a majority of the remaining cotrustees may act for the trust.

              5. A trustee may [not] delegate to a cotrustee the performance of a function [the settlor reasonably expected the trustees to perform jointly] in accordance with subsection 1 of section 456.8-807. Unless a delegation was irrevocable, a trustee may revoke a delegation previously made.

              6. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 7 of this section, a trustee who does not join in an action of another trustee is not liable for the action.

              7. Each trustee shall exercise reasonable care to:

              (1) prevent a cotrustee from committing a serious breach of trust; and

              (2) compel a cotrustee to redress a serious breach of trust.

              8. A dissenting trustee who joins in an action at the direction of the majority of the trustees and who notified any cotrustee of the dissent at or before the time of the action is not liable for the action unless the action is a serious breach of trust.


              456.8-813. 1. (1) A trustee shall keep the qualified beneficiaries of the trust reasonably informed about the administration of the trust and of the material facts necessary for them to protect their interests. A trustee shall be presumed to have fulfilled this duty if the trustee complies with the notice and information requirements prescribed in subsections 2 to 7 of this section.

              (2) Unless unreasonable under the circumstances, a trustee shall promptly respond to a beneficiary's request for information related to the administration of the trust.

              2. A trustee:

              (1) upon request of a beneficiary, shall promptly furnish to the beneficiary a copy of the trust instrument;

              (2) within 60 days after accepting a trusteeship, shall notify the qualified beneficiaries of the acceptance and of the trustee's name, address, and telephone number;

              (3) within sixty days after the date the trustee acquires knowledge of the creation of an irrevocable trust, or the date the trustee acquires knowledge that a formerly revocable trust has become irrevocable, whether by the death of the settlor or otherwise, shall notify the qualified beneficiaries of the trust's existence, of the identity of the settlor or settlors, of the right to request a copy of the trust instrument, and of the right to a trustee's report as provided in subsection 3 of this section; and

              (4) shall notify the qualified beneficiaries in advance of any change in the method or rate of the trustee's compensation. [Subdivisions (2) and (3) of this subsection do not apply to a trust that became irrevocable before January 1, 2005.]

              3. A trustee shall send to the permissible distributees of trust income or principal, and to other beneficiaries who request it, at least annually and at the termination of the trust, a report of the trust property, liabilities, receipts, and disbursements, including the source and amount of the trustee's compensation, a listing of the trust assets and, if feasible, their respective market values. Upon a vacancy in a trusteeship, unless a cotrustee remains in office, a report must be sent to the qualified beneficiaries by the former trustee. A personal representative, conservator, or guardian may send the qualified beneficiaries a report on behalf of a deceased or incapacitated trustee.

              4. A beneficiary may waive the right to a trustee's report or other information otherwise required to be furnished under this section. A beneficiary, with respect to future reports and other information, may withdraw a waiver previously given.

              5. A trustee may charge a reasonable fee to a beneficiary for providing information under this section.

              6. The request of any beneficiary for information under any provision of this section shall be with respect to a single trust that is sufficiently identified to enable the trustee to locate the records of the trust.

              7. If the trustee is bound by any confidentiality restrictions with respect to an asset of a trust, any beneficiary who is eligible to receive information pursuant to this section about such asset shall agree to be bound by the confidentiality restrictions that bind the trustee before receiving such information from the trustee.

              8. This section does not apply to a trust created under a trust instrument that became irrevocable before January 1, 2005, and the law in effect prior to January 1, 2005, regarding the subject matter of this section shall continue to apply to those trusts.


              456.8-814. 1. Notwithstanding the [breadth of discretion granted to a trustee in the terms of the trust, including the] use of such terms as "absolute," "sole," or "uncontrolled," in the exercise of discretion under an ascertainable standard, the trustee shall exercise [a] such discretionary power in good faith and in accordance with the terms and purposes of the trust and the interests of the beneficiaries.

              2. Subject to subsection 4 of this section, and unless the terms of the trust expressly indicate that a rule in this subsection does not apply:

              (1) a person other than a settlor who is a beneficiary and trustee of a trust that confers on the trustee a power to make discretionary distributions to or for the trustee's personal benefit may exercise the power only in accordance with an ascertainable standard [relating to the trustee's individual health, education, support, or maintenance within the meaning of Section 2041(b)(1)(A) or 2514(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code];

              (2) a trustee may not exercise a power to make discretionary distributions to satisfy a legal obligation of support that the trustee personally owes another person; and

              (3) for purposes of this subsection 2 of this section, the term "trustee" shall include a person who is deemed to have any power of a trustee, whether because such person has the right to remove or replace any trustee, because a reciprocal trust or power doctrine applies, or for any other reason.

              3. A power whose exercise is limited or prohibited by subsection 2 may be exercised by a majority of the remaining trustees whose exercise of the power is not so limited or prohibited. If the power of all trustees is so limited or prohibited, the court may appoint a special fiduciary with authority to exercise the power.

              4. Subsection 2 of this section does not apply to:

              (1) a power held by the settlor's spouse who is the trustee of a trust for which a marital deduction, as defined in Section 2056(b)(5) or 2523(b)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code was previously allowed;

              (2) any trust during any period that the trust may be revoked or amended by its settlor; or

              (3) a trust if contributions to the trust qualify for the annual exclusion under Section 2503(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.


              456.8-816. Without limiting the authority conferred by section 456.8-815, a trustee may:

              (1) collect trust property and accept or reject additions to the trust property from a settlor or any other person;

              (2) acquire or sell property in divided or undivided interests, for cash or on credit, at public or private sale;

              (3) exchange, partition, or otherwise change the character of trust property;

              (7) with respect to stocks or other securities, exercise the rights of an absolute owner, including the right to:

              (a) vote, or give proxies to vote, with or without power of substitution, or enter into or continue a voting trust agreement;

              (b) hold a security in the name of a nominee or in other form without disclosure of the trust so that title may pass by delivery;

              (c) pay calls, assessments, and other sums chargeable or accruing against the securities, and sell or exercise stock subscription or conversion rights; and

              (d) deposit the securities with a depositary or other financial institution;

              (9) enter into a lease for any purpose as lessor or lessee, including a lease or other arrangement for exploration and removal of natural resources, with or without the option to purchase or renew, for a period within or extending beyond the duration of the trust;

              (10) grant an option involving a sale, lease, or other disposition of trust property or acquire an option for the acquisition of property, including an option exercisable beyond the duration of the trust, and exercise an option so acquired;

              (11) insure the property of the trust against damage or loss and insure the trustee, the trustee's agents, and beneficiaries against liability arising from the administration of the trust;

              (12) abandon or decline to administer property of no value or of insufficient value to justify its collection or continued administration;

              (13) with respect to possible liability for violation of environmental law:

              (a) inspect or investigate property the trustee holds or has been asked to hold, or property owned or operated by an organization in which the trustee holds or has been asked to hold an interest, for the purpose of determining the application of environmental law with respect to the property;

              (b) take action to prevent, abate, or otherwise remedy any actual or potential violation of any environmental law affecting property held directly or indirectly by the trustee, whether taken before or after the assertion of a claim or the initiation of governmental enforcement;

              (c) decline to accept property into trust or disclaim any power with respect to property that is or may be burdened with liability for violation of environmental law;

              (d) compromise claims against the trust which may be asserted for an alleged violation of environmental law; and

              (e) pay the expense of any inspection, review, abatement, or remedial action to comply with environmental law;

              (14) pay or contest any claim, settle a claim by or against the trust, and release, in whole or in part, a claim belonging to the trust;

              (15) pay taxes, assessments, compensation of the trustee and of employees and agents of the trust, and other expenses incurred in the administration of the trust;

              (16) exercise elections with respect to federal, state, and local taxes;

              (17) select a mode of payment under any employee benefit or retirement plan, annuity, or life insurance payable to the trustee, exercise rights thereunder, including exercise of the right to indemnification for expenses and against liabilities, and take appropriate action to collect the proceeds;

              (18) make loans out of trust property, including loans to a beneficiary on terms and conditions the trustee considers to be fair and reasonable under the circumstances, and the trustee has a lien on future distributions for repayment of those loans;

              (19) pledge trust property to guarantee or secure loans made by others to a beneficiary;

              (a) paying it to the beneficiary's conservator or, if the beneficiary does not have a conservator, the beneficiary's guardian;

              (b) paying it to the beneficiary's custodian under the Missouri transfers to minors law under sections 404.005 to 404.094, RSMo, or a personal custodian under sections 404.400 to 404.650, RSMo, and, for that purpose, creating a custodianship or custodial trust;

              (c) if the trustee does not know of a conservator, guardian, custodian, or custodial trustee, paying it to an adult relative or other person having legal or physical care or custody of the beneficiary, to be expended on the beneficiary's behalf; or

              (d) managing it as a separate fund on the beneficiary's behalf, subject to the beneficiary's continuing right to withdraw the distribution;

              [(26)] (27) on termination of the trust, exercise the powers appropriate to wind up the administration of the trust and distribute the trust property to the persons entitled to it; and

              [(27)] (28) to invest and reinvest trust assets in accordance with sections 469.900 to 469.913, RSMo; including investing and reinvesting in securities or obligations of any state or its political subdivisions, including securities or obligations that are underwritten by the trustee or an affiliate of the trustee or a syndicate in which the trustee or an affiliate of the trustee is a member which meet the standards established by the division of finance pursuant to subsection 5 of section 362.550, RSMo.


              469.600. The doctrine of worthier title and the Rule in Bingham's case is abolished as a rule of law and as a rule of construction. Language in a governing instrument describing the beneficiaries of a disposition as the transferor's "heirs", "heirs at law", "next of kin", "distributees", "relatives", or "family", or language of similar import does not create or presumptively create a reversionary interest in the transferor.

  

              473.333. If it appears that there is a surplus of money in the hands of the personal representative that will not shortly be required for the expenses of administration, or payment of claims, taxes or other required disbursements, the personal representative shall make such investment of the money on or after August 28, 1998, in accordance with the provisions of the Missouri prudent investor act, sections [456.900 to 456.913] 469.900 to 469.913, RSMo. The personal representative may also, without an order of court, invest in (1) direct obligations of, or obligations unconditionally guaranteed as to principal and interest, by the United States, or (2) accounts of savings and loan associations to the extent the accounts are insured by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, without inquiry as to whether the investment is reasonable and prudent. An order of court authorizing investments pursuant to this section does not relieve a personal representative or his sureties of responsibility and liability if the investment made is not in fact in accordance with the Missouri prudent investor act, sections [456.900 to 456.913] 469.900 to 469.913, RSMo.

  

              473.787. 1. While letters testamentary or of administration authorizing independent administration of the estate are in force, the personal representative therein named is an independent personal representative and his administration of the estate is an independent administration, and all actions taken on or after August 28, 1996, shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Missouri prudent investor act, sections [456.900 to 456.913]  469.900 to 469.913, RSMo.

              2. An independent personal representative shall proceed expeditiously with the settlement and distribution of the estate in accordance with the applicable provisions of this chapter and, except as otherwise specified by the provisions of sections 473.780 to 473.843, shall do so without adjudication, order, or direction of the court, but he may invoke the jurisdiction of the court, in proceedings authorized by this code, to resolve questions concerning the estate or its administration or distribution.

              3. Unless he is a member in good standing of the Missouri bar, an independent personal representative, because he owes a fiduciary duty to the persons interested in the estate, shall secure the advice and services of an attorney, who is not a salaried employee of the personal representative, on legal questions arising in connection with:

              (1) The application for and issuance of letters testamentary or of administration;

              (2) The collection, investment and preservation of assets;

              (3) The inventory;

              (4) The allowance, disallowance, compromise and payment of claims;

              (5) The making of tax returns;

              (6) The transfer and encumbrance of property of the estate;

              (7) The interpretation of the will and of the intestacy laws;

              (8) The scheme and making of distribution; and

              (9) The closing of the estate.

 

              475.092. 1. If it is established in a proceeding conducted in [the] a manner [prescribed for] similar to a proceeding for the appointment of a conservator of the estate that a person is a minor or disabled, or is blind or has a physical or mental disability as defined under state or federal law, the court, without appointing a conservator, may authorize, direct or ratify any transaction necessary or desirable to achieve any security, service, or care arrangement meeting the foreseeable needs of the [minor or disabled] person.

              2. When it has been established in such a proceeding that the person is a minor or disabled, or is blind or has a physical or mental disability as defined under state or federal law, the court, without appointing a conservator, may authorize, direct or ratify any contract or other transaction relating to the [minor or disabled] person's financial affairs or involving such person's estate if the court determines that the transaction is in the best interests of the [minor or disabled] person and if such action would otherwise be within the power of the court [pursuant to this chapter]. A transaction pursuant to this section may include the establishment by the court or other grantor of an inter vivos trust, including a trust that complies with the provisions of 42 U.S.C. Section 1396p(d)(4), on behalf of the [minor or disabled] person provided that upon such person's death, after the payment of trustees' fees, [the state of Missouri shall first receive all amounts remaining in the trust up to an amount equal to the total medical assistance paid on such person's behalf pursuant to a state plan as provided in Title 42 of the United States Code] any payments to the state Medicaid agency that are required by the provisions of 42 U.S.C. Section 1396p(d)(4) are made and, provided further, that any creditor of the [minor or disabled] person other than the state of Missouri shall also be paid all sums due for such person's care, maintenance and support, to the extent trust property is sufficient therefor, and, provided, such trust shall terminate upon such person's death and any amounts remaining in the trust after the foregoing payments shall be distributed to [such decedent's estate] the remainder beneficiaries designated in the trust or as designated pursuant to the exercise of a power of appointment set forth in the trust. This section shall not be interpreted to require all such trusts to be established by a court proceeding.

              3. Before approving a protective arrangement or other transaction pursuant to this section, the court shall consider the interests of creditors and dependents of the [minor or disabled] person and, in view of such person's disability, whether such person needs the continuing protection of a conservator. The court may appoint a special conservator to assist in the accomplishment of any protective arrangement or other transaction authorized pursuant to this section who shall have the authority conferred by the order and serve until discharged by order after report to the court of all matters done pursuant to the order of appointment.

              4. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the trustee of any trust created or approved by a Missouri court [for a minor or disabled person] prior to August 28, 1999, for the benefit of a person who is a minor or disabled, or is blind or has a physical or mental disability as defined under state or federal law shall not be liable to the state of Missouri or to any creditor of such person if, on August 28, 1999, the trust does not have sufficient assets to reimburse the state of Missouri for medical assistance paid on such person's behalf pursuant to a state plan as provided in Title 42 of the United States Code or to reimburse a creditor for sums due for such person's care, maintenance and support. Any such trust which is in existence as of August 28, 1999, shall be subject to subsection 2 of this section, as amended, notwithstanding any provisions of such trust to the contrary. The trustee shall not be liable for any distributions or payments made prior to August 28, 1999, pursuant to the terms of such trust.

  

              475.130. 1. Conservator of the estate of a minor or disabled person shall, under supervision of the court, protect, preserve and manage the estate, invest it, on or after August 28, 1998, in accordance with the provisions of the Missouri prudent investor act, sections [456.900 to 456.913] 469.900 to 469.913, RSMo, apply it as provided in this code, account for it faithfully, perform all other duties required of him by law, and at the termination of the conservatorship deliver the assets of the protectee to the persons entitled thereto. In protecting, preserving and managing the estate, the conservator of the estate is under a duty to use the degree of care, skill and prudence which an ordinarily prudent man uses in managing the property of, and conducting transactions on behalf of, others. If a conservator of the estate has special skills or is appointed on the basis of representations of special skills or expertise, he is under a duty to use those skills in the conduct of the protectee's affairs. A conservator of the estate is under a duty to act in the interest of the protectee and to avoid conflicts of interest which impair his ability so to act.

              2. The conservator of the estate shall take possession of all of the protectee's real and personal property, and of rents, income, issue and profits therefrom, whether accruing before or after his appointment, and of the proceeds arising from the sale, mortgage, lease or exchange thereof. Subject to such possession, the title to all such estate, and to the increment and proceeds thereof, is in the protectee and not in the conservator. Upon a showing that funds available or payable for the benefit of the protectee by any federal agency are being applied for the benefit of the protectee, or that such federal agency has refused to recognize the authority of the conservator to administer such funds, the court may waive, by order, the duty of the conservator to account therefor.

              3. The court has full authority under the rules of civil procedure to enjoin any person from interfering with the right of the conservator to possession of the assets of the protectee, including benefits payable from any source.

              4. The conservator of the estate shall prosecute and defend all actions instituted in behalf of or against the protectee; collect all debts due or becoming due to the protectee, and give acquittances and discharges therefor, and adjust, settle and pay all claims due or becoming due from the protectee so far as his estate and effects will extend, except as provided in sections 507.150 and 507.188, RSMo.

              5. A conservator of the estate has power, without authorization or approval of the court, to:

              (1) Settle or compromise a claim against the protectee or the estate agreeing to pay or paying not more than one thousand dollars;

              (2) Settle, abandon or compromise a claim in favor of the estate which does not exceed one thousand dollars;

              (3) Sell, or agree to sell, chattels, choses in action and investment securities reasonably worth not more than one thousand dollars for cash or upon terms involving a reasonable extension of credit;

              (4) Exchange, or agree to exchange, chattels, choses in action and investment securities for other such property of equivalent value, not in excess of one thousand dollars;

              (5) Insure or contract for insurance of property of the estate against fire, theft and other hazards;

              (6) Insure or contract for insurance protecting the protectee against any liability likely to be incurred, including medical and hospital expenses, and protecting the conservator against liability to third parties arising from acts or omissions connected with possession or management of the estate;

              (7) Contract for needed repairs and maintenance of property of the estate;

              (8) Lease land and buildings for terms not exceeding one year, reserving reasonable rent, and renew any such lease for a like term;

              (9) Vote corporate stock in person or by general or limited proxy;

              (10) Contract for the provision of board, lodging, education, medical care, or necessaries of the protectee for periods not exceeding one year, and renew any such contract for a like period.

              6. If, in exercising any power conferred by subsection 5, of this section, a conservator breaches any of the duties enumerated in subsection 1, he may be surcharged for losses to the estate caused by the breach but persons who dealt with the conservator in good faith, without knowledge of or reason to suspect the breach of duty, may enforce and retain the benefits of any transaction with the conservator which he has power under subsection 5 of this section to conduct.

  

              475.190. 1. The conservator shall invest the money of the protectee, from whatever source derived, unless it is required for other lawful purposes.

              2. No investment, other than an investment (a) in the direct obligations of or obligations unconditionally guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States or (b) in savings accounts and time deposits, including time certificates of deposit, in banking institutions to the extent such accounts or deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or (c) in accounts of savings and loan associations to the extent such accounts are insured by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, shall be made without prior order of the court.

              3. The conservator may invest in any other property, real or personal, which the court finds is a reasonable and prudent investment in the circumstances. An order of court authorizing investment under this subsection does not relieve a conservator or his sureties of responsibility and liability if the investment made is not in fact in accordance with the Missouri prudent investor act, sections [456.900 to 456.913] 469.900 to 469.913, RSMo.

              4. Every conservator shall make a report at every annual settlement of the disposition made by the conservator of the money belonging to the protectee entrusted to him. If it appears that the money is invested in securities, then the conservator shall report a detailed description of the securities and shall describe any real estate security and state where it is situated, and its value, which report shall be filed in the court. The court shall carefully examine into the report as soon as made, and, if in the opinion of the court the security is insufficient, the court shall make such orders as are necessary to protect the interest of the protectee. The conservator and his sureties are liable on their bond for any omission to comply with the orders of the court. If the money has not been invested as authorized by law the conservator shall state that fact and the reasons, and shall state that the conservator has been unable to make an investment after diligent effort to do so.

              5. If any conservator refuses or neglects to make the report at the time aforesaid, or makes a false report thereof, he and his sureties are liable on their bond for all loss or damage to the protectee occasioned by reason of his neglect or refusal so to report, or by making a false report, and the conservator may, on account thereof, be removed from his trust in the discretion of the court.”; and


              Further amend said bill by amending the title, enacting clause, and intersectional references accordingly.

House Amendment No. 2


AMEND House Committee Substitute for Senate Substitute for Senate Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 892, Pages 13 through 21, by deleting all of sections 700.045, 700.111, 700.115, 700.355, 700.360, 700.385, 700.500 and inserting in lieu thereof the following:


              “700.385. 1. When the holder of any indebtedness secured by a security agreement or other contract for security covering a manufactured home, who has a notice of lien on file with the director of revenue, repossesses the manufactured home either by legal process or in accordance with the terms of a contract authorizing the repossession of the manufactured home without legal process, the holder may obtain a certificate of [title] ownership from the director of revenue upon presentation of:

              (1) An application[, which shall be upon a blank] form furnished by the director of revenue [and] which shall contain [the] a full description of the manufactured home and the manufacturer's or other identifying number;

              (2) A notice of lien receipt or the original certificate of ownership reflecting the holder's lien; and

              (3) An affidavit of the holder, certified under penalties of perjury for making a false statement to a public official, that the debtor defaulted in payment of the debt, and that the holder repossessed the manufactured home either by legal process or in accordance with the terms of the contract, and the specific address where the manufactured home is held[; and

              (3) The original, or a conformed or photostatic copy of the original, of the security agreement or other contract for security and the instrument or instruments evidencing the indebtedness secured by the security agreement or other contract for security.

The director may, by regulation, prescribe for the inclusion in either or both the application or affidavit required by this subsection any other information that he, from time to time, deems necessary or advisable, and may prescribe that the affidavit required by this subsection be part of the application]. Such affidavit shall also state that the lienholder has the written consent from all owners or lienholders of record to repossess the manufactured home or has provided all the owners or lienholders with written notice of the repossession.

              2. On a manufactured home, the lienholder shall first give:

              (1) Ten days' written notice by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, to each of the owners and other lienholders, if any, of the manufactured home at each of their last mailing addresses as shown by the last prior certificate of ownership, if any issued, or the most recent address on the lienholder's records, that an application for a repossessed title will be made; or

              (2) The lienholder may, ten days prior to applying for a repossession title, include the information in the above notice in the appropriate uniform commercial code notice under sections 400.9-613 or 400.9-614, RSMo. Such alternative notice to all owners and lienholders shall be valid and enforceable under both the uniform commercial code and this section, provided it otherwise complies with the provisions of the uniform commercial code.

              3. Upon the holder's presentation of the papers required by subsection 1 of this section and the payment of a fee of ten dollars, the director of revenue, if he is satisfied with the genuineness of the papers, shall issue and deliver to the holder a certificate of [title] ownership which shall be in its usual form except it shall be clearly captioned "Repossessed Title"[; except that, unless the application is accompanied by the written consent, acknowledged before an officer authorized to take acknowledgments, of the owners and other lienholders, if any, of the manufactured home as shown by the last prior certificate of title or ownership, if any, issued on the manufactured home for the issuance of a repossessed title to the applicant, no such repossessed title may be issued by the director of revenue unless the director shall first give ten days' written notice by first class United States mail postage prepaid to each of the owners and other lienholders, if any, of the manufactured home at each of their last mailing addresses as shown by the last prior certificate of title or ownership, if any, issued on the manufactured home that an application for a repossessed title has been made and the date the repossessed title will be issued, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy, photostatic or otherwise, of the application and affidavit. The application for repossessed title may be withdrawn by the applicant at any time before the granting thereof]. Each repossessed title so issued shall, for all purposes, be treated as an original certificate of [title] ownership and shall supersede the outstanding certificate of [title or] ownership, if any, and duplicates thereof, if any, on the manufactured home, all of which shall become null and void.

              [3.] 4.

              2. The college or university police officers, before they enter upon their duties, shall take and subscribe an oath of office before some officer authorized to administer oaths to faithfully and impartially discharge the duties thereof, which oath shall be filed in the office of the governing board of the college or university and the secretary of the board shall give each college police officer so appointed and qualified a certificate of appointment under the seal of the board which certificate shall empower such officer with the same authority to maintain order, preserve peace, and make arrests as is given to peace officers. The college or university police officer may, in addition, expel from the public buildings, campuses, and grounds, persons violating the rules and regulations that may be prescribed by the board or others under the authority of the board. Such officer as may be designated by the board shall have immediate charge, control, and supervision of college police officers appointed by authority of this section. Such college police officers shall, before appointment, or within six months after appointment, be certified peace officers under chapter 590, RSMo. All commissioning of officers shall be under the direction of the director of the Department of Public Safety pursuant to sections 590.010 to 590.050. The reasonable administrative costs of said commissioning shall be borne by the private not-for-profit college or university.

              3. Nothing in this section shall be construed as denying the board the right to appoint guards or watchmen who shall not be given the authority and powers authorized in this section."; and

              WHEREAS, on February 1, 2005, the United Nations released the Report of the International Commission of Inquiry on Darfur to the United Nations Secretary-General which found that war crimes and crimes against humanity had been perpetrated in the Darfur region of Sudan; and


              WHEREAS, the Report of the International Commission of Inquiry established that Sudanese government forces and the Janjaweed militia are responsible for systemic and widespread killing, torture, rape, pillaging, and forced displacement throughout Darfur and that these acts result in 10,000 deaths every month; and

 

              WHEREAS, President Bush, former Secretary of State Powell, and the United States Congress have declared the attacks to be genocide, a crime against humanity; and


              WHEREAS, 136 nations, including the United States, condemn, and seek to prevent and punish the Crime of Genocide as signatories to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes Against Humanity; and


              WHEREAS, the continuing atrocities in Darfur cry out for an aggressive international response to provide protection for 2 million internally-displaced Sudanese, to expand humanitarian relief efforts without delay, and to establish political negotiations to end these atrocities; and


              WHEREAS, the mission of the St. Louis Save Darfur Coalition is to mobilize and educate a broad group of religious, human rights, campus, and civic organizations in the St. Louis region on the genocide in the Darfur region of the Sudan and to stimulate advocacy efforts on behalf of the people of Darfur:


              NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we, the members of the Missouri House of Representatives, Ninety-third General Assembly, hereby:


              (1) Condemn the ongoing genocide in Darfur, Sudan; and


              (2) Acknowledge the leadership of the President of the United States and the United States Congress in recognizing and taking initial steps to address the ongoing genocide in Darfur, Sudan; and


              (3) Acknowledge the contributions of the African Union, including its critical peacekeeping mission in Darfur, and its role in facilitating the Abuja peace talks; and


              (4) Call upon the President of the United States and the United States Department of State:


              (a) To work within the United Nations Security Council to expand the mandate of, and increase aid and logistical support to, the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) for the purpose of better protecting civilians in Darfur, and to increase the force size and mobility of AMIS; and


              (b) To increase their engagement in the ongoing Darfur peace process in order to facilitate the creation of a viable political framework for a lasting peace in Darfur; and


              (c) To work within the United Nations Security Council and with the African Union to encourage an immediate transfer of primary peacekeeping duties from the current African Union Mission in Sudan to a larger United Nations peacekeeping force with adequate resources and a clear mandate to protect civilians; and


              (5) Call upon the Missouri Congressional Delegation:


              (a) To support United States funding for peacekeeping and humanitarian aid in Sudan with the emergency FY 2006 supplemental appropriations bill at a minimum of the $564 million figure arrived at through an initial request of $514 million by the President and subsequent $50 million amendments passed by the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate Appropriations Committee; and


              (b) To support adequate long-term FY 2007 funding for peacekeeping and humanitarian aid in Darfur; and


              BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chief Clerk of the Missouri House of Representatives be instructed to prepare properly inscribed copies of this resolution for President George W. Bush, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and each member of the Missouri Congressional Delegation.
