HB 1505 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes provisions relating to public safety

HB 1505 establishes a statewide uniform crime reporting system requiring all Missouri law enforcement agencies to submit standardized crime data to the Department of Public Safety. Agencies must collect and report monthly data on nonfatal shooting clearances (including whether resolved by arrest or exceptional means, victim demographics, and time to clearance) starting January 1, 2026. The Department will compile this data, publish quarterly clearance rates online by 2026, and issue annual public reports detailing crime trends. Failure to comply may result in loss of state or federal law enforcement funding.
