HB 1129 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Requires law enforcement to document a person's immigration status when making a traffic stop

HB 1129 requires law enforcement officers to document a driver's immigration status, race (including Hispanic, Native American, or Asian descent), and the reason for every traffic stop, along with details about searches, citations, or arrests. Law enforcement agencies must compile this data annually, submit reports to the attorney general by March 1st, and include statistics comparing stops by minority groups to their share of the state population. The attorney general must analyze the data and report findings to the governor and legislature by June 1st, while agencies must adopt policies prohibiting race-based stops and provide officer training on cultural sensitivity. Noncompliance risks loss of state funding, and the bill exempts sobriety checkpoints from these reporting requirements.
