HB 1651 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Establishes the "Anti-Red Flag Gun Seizure Act"

HB 1651 defines "red flag laws" as any state or federal order that temporarily or permanently seizes firearms, accessories, or ammunition from individuals without a prior court conviction for a violent felony. The bill prohibits Missouri state agencies and local law enforcement from enforcing these orders and bars them from accepting federal funds used to enforce such measures. It also establishes civil penalties of up to $50,000 for officers who knowingly violate the law and provides a legal pathway for citizens to sue for damages or injunctive relief if their firearms are seized under these prohibited orders.
