HB 1218 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies the offense of burglary in the second degree

HB 1218 changes how burglary in the second degree is punished based on location. It reclassifies entering a building or structure to commit a crime as a class D felony, while entering a restricted commercial area (like a back office where money is kept, especially if marked as forbidden) becomes a class B misdemeanor for first offenses. Repeat offenses in restricted commercial areas escalate to a class A misdemeanor. This directly affects individuals committing burglary under these specific location-based scenarios.
