New Missouri law prevents local governments from imposing eviction moratoriums
KANSAS CITY, Mo — On Tuesday afternoon, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson signed SB 895 into law.
The legislation takes the power away from local governments to enact moratoriums on eviction proceedings and leaves it up to state and federal government.
During the pandemic, Jackson County and Kansas City joined several communities and municipalities that imposed the moratoriums.
The federal government issued a national moratorium for non-payment of rent.
“Luckily, I have never, never had to evict any of my renters,” said Curtis Jay, a KCMO landlord. “There have been renters behind, and we worked through it.”

Jay might be a familiar face to some people as a former KSHB 41 news anchor a decade ago.
Now, he’s a landlord with several properties in KCMO. The new state law goes over well with him.
“When someone tells you at the government level, ‘Hey, you can’t evict,’ but the government is not paying your mortgage, we’ve got an issue,” he said.
There are 122,228 renter households in Jackson County and there have been 7,409 eviction filings in the past year, according to Eviction Lab, a national research team.
Gina Chiala’s team sees it on a regular basis.
“When you are a low wage worker and rents are as high as they are, it doesn’t take very much to put you in the cross hairs of eviction,” said Gina Chiala, executive director and senior attorney for the Heartland Center for Jobs & Freedom.

Chiala believes SB 895 takes away protections for vulnerable renters.
“This is troubling,” she said. “I think it’s important local governments have the power and authority and ability to respond to local communities as they see fit.”
The law won’t take precedent over a state or federal mandate.
“It was an important policy during the height of the pandemic to protect the most vulnerable people,” Chiala said.
The legislation is a message landlords like Jay want to send that when rent can’t be paid, the bill should not have to fall on him.
“If the government stops the banks, then these landlords won’t have to evict, but will that happen? No,” he said. “Will utility companies offer free utilities? No. Will grocery stores offer free groceries during a pandemic? Didn’t happen. No. These are things — having shelter, having food, and having utilities are your basic needs. Were any of these things free during the pandemic? No.”

As summer recreation ramps up across Missouri, safety officials are reminding residents that water safety begins long before anyone steps into a lake or river. Understanding the risks of water activities, knowing personal limits, and making responsible choices are the foundation of preventing tragedies on the water.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol and other safety agencies emphasize that natural waterways can present hidden hazards, including strong currents, sudden drop‑offs, and floating debris. Swimmers are urged to stay aware of their surroundings, use life jackets when appropriate, and avoid swimming alone.

Officials say simple precautions—such as recognizing fatigue, monitoring weather conditions, and watching out for others in your group—can make the difference between a fun day on the water and a dangerous situation. As families head outdoors, authorities encourage everyone to treat water safety as a shared responsibility.

The date for the last matchup in the current Border War series is set.
Missouri men’s basketball will face Kansas in the Border War game on Dec. 6 at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, according to a post from the Jayhawks’ official X/Twitter account Tuesday. The tipoff time and TV designation for the matchup will be released at a later date.
Kansas released its full nonconference schedule Tuesday, including the sixth and final game against Mizzou on the current competition contract.
The historic rivals have not yet signed a contract to renew the series beyond this season, according to a recent batch of competition contracts obtained by the Tribune through an open records request.
Missouri is yet to announce its nonconference schedule for the 2026-27 season, but there are three other known or reported games for this upcoming season.
Mizzou will face Howard at Mizzou Arena in the last leg of a three-game series, which will take place on a still-to-be-determined date.
The Tigers also have three more neutral-site games on their schedule. The annual Braggin’ Rights matchup against Illinois likely will fall in mid- or late- December at Enterprise Center, and Mizzou has agreed to a Nov. 15 trip to United Center in Chicago to face Marquette. Missouri also reportedly will face Saint Louis on Nov. 6 at Enterprise Center, according to Jon Rothstein at CBS Sports and College Hoops Today.
This season’s Border War matchup will include the first direct transfer between the two schools when Bryson Tiller suits up for Missouri after spending last season, his freshman year, at Kansas.
KU has won four of the five games since the series was renewed in 2021, including an 80-60 win in Kansas City last season. Missouri won the 2024-25 season matchup at Mizzou Arena, but has not beaten Kansas outside of Columbia since 2003.
