Bill > HB162

This bill prohibits the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) from creating or maintaining any highway signs that honor individuals who have been convicted of killing or attempting to kill a law enforcement officer. Specifically, the bill mandates that if any such signs currently exist, they must be removed by August 28, 2025. The legislation aims to prevent commemorative highway signage for individuals who have committed violent crimes against law enforcement personnel, ensuring that those who have attacked or attempted to kill police officers cannot be memorialized through public infrastructure. The bill applies to all existing and future highway signs, and it overrides any previous laws that might have allowed such signage, demonstrating a clear stance against honoring individuals who have committed violent acts against law enforcement officers.
