Establishes the "Missouri Small Business Property Crime Prevention Grant Program"
HB 1515 establishes Missouri's Small Business Property Crime Prevention Grant Program, providing financial assistance to eligible small businesses for security upgrades and property crime repair costs. The program targets for-profit businesses with fewer than 50 employees in Missouri, offering grants up to $1,000 per fiscal year for items like surveillance systems, access controls, storefront redesigns, or repairs after crimes. Applications require detailed cost breakdowns and security plans, with grants awarded based on need, feasibility, and proposed timelines, and businesses must complete projects within 18 months. The program begins funding in fiscal year 2027 and will sunset six years after enactment unless reauthorized by the legislature.
