HB 409 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Adds the definition of "access to children" as it relates to residential care facilities

HB 409 adds a specific definition for "access to children" to Missouri's residential care facility laws. The definition describes direct contact with children during treatment, education, sports, or recreational activities on a continual, frequent, and meaningful basis. This clarification applies to facilities operating under sections 210.1250-210.1286. The bill does not change existing requirements but provides clearer terminology for enforcement and compliance.
