Bill Summary
Creates provisions relating to lifetime protection orders
AI Summary
This bill creates a new legal provision allowing courts to issue lifetime protection orders in cases involving dangerous felonies. Under the new law, when a defendant is found guilty of a dangerous felony, the victim or prosecuting attorney can request a protection order that will remain in effect for the defendant's entire lifetime. The protection order prevents the defendant from contacting the victim and can only be terminated if the defendant proves the victim has died, the conviction has been dismissed or overturned, or if the victim submits a written request to the court to end the order. The bill requires law enforcement agencies to enter the protection order into multiple information systems, including the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES), the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), and the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Local sheriffs must enter the order's details into MULES within 24 hours, and the order must include specific information such as child custody or visitation arrangements. The protection order is designed to provide long-term safety for victims of serious criminal offenses by creating a legally enforceable barrier to contact with the offender.
