CORPORATE REGISTRATION REPORTS FOR FARMING CORPORATIONS (Section 351.120) - Currently, authorized farm corporations and family farm corporations are required to file a corporate registration report annually with the Missouri Secretary of State. Under this act, such farm corporations would not have to file an annual report if the information required by the corporate registration report has not changed since the filing of the corporation's articles of incorporation or most recent registration report.

This provision is identical to HCS/SCS/SB 131 (2015), and is substantially similar to SB 664 (2016), SB 148 (2015), and SCS/HB 233 (2015).

CONTINUING AUTHORITY (Section 640.703) - In provisions of law that relate to concentrated animal feeding operations, this act defines the term "continuing authority" as any person, legal entity, registered corporate entity, or permanent organization that maintains legal responsibility.

This provision is identical to a provision contained in SCS/HB 1827 (2016).
