Establishes the "Auto Theft Prevention Commission"

HB 527 establishes Missouri's "Auto Theft Prevention Commission" to address motor vehicle theft and related crimes. The commission, composed of 11 members including state agency directors, law enforcement leaders, and industry representatives, will manage a grant program providing funds to local law enforcement agencies and task forces. These grants support prevention efforts, investigation of auto theft and insurance fraud, equipment purchases, specialized training, and public awareness campaigns. The commission will also produce annual reports on its activities and fund usage for the legislature and governor.
