Bill > HB3301

This bill, known as the "Missouri Values Act," establishes new provisions for immigration enforcement within the state. It defines key terms such as "civil immigration warrant," "dangerous felony," and "immigration authority" to clarify the scope of the act. The bill prohibits Missouri law enforcement agencies from using their funds or personnel to investigate, detain, or arrest individuals for immigration purposes, including inquiring into immigration status, detaining based on hold requests, or making arrests on civil immigration warrants. It also restricts transferring individuals to immigration authorities unless authorized by a judicial warrant or a judicial probable cause determination, or in specific circumstances outlined in the bill, such as convictions for serious felonies or certain misdemeanors. The bill encourages the adoption of model policies to ensure public schools, health facilities, courthouses, and shelters remain accessible to all residents regardless of immigration status. Additionally, it mandates reporting requirements for joint law enforcement task forces involved in immigration enforcement and requires the Department of Corrections to provide individuals in custody with written consent forms before interviews with immigration authorities and to inform them about any ICE requests. The bill also prohibits the Department of Corrections from restricting access to programs or considering immigration status in custodial classifications.
