Bill > HB1147

This bill requires law enforcement agencies in Missouri to report additional information about the immigration status of criminal offenders when submitting crime incident reports to the Department of Public Safety. Specifically, when law enforcement agencies submit their standard crime incident reports, they must now indicate whether the offender is a United States citizen, a lawfully present immigrant, or if they do not have information to confirm the offender's citizenship or immigration status. The bill adds this requirement to existing law that already mandates law enforcement agencies submit crime incident reports to the state's central crime reporting repository. As a potential enforcement mechanism, the bill stipulates that law enforcement agencies who fail to comply with this new reporting requirement after December 31, 2021, may become ineligible to receive state or federal funds typically allocated for law enforcement, safety, or criminal justice purposes. The legislation aims to enhance the state's ability to track and report on the immigration status of individuals involved in criminal incidents.
