HR 69 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Urges a commitment by the House of Representatives to address police violence and ensure that law enforcement officers who engage in misconduct, discrimination, or inappropriate use of force are held accountable for their actions

HR 69 is a symbolic resolution (not a binding law) introduced in Missouri's 103rd General Assembly. It urges the Missouri House of Representatives to commit to addressing police violence - particularly against people of color - and ensuring law enforcement officers who commit misconduct, discrimination, or excessive force are held accountable. The resolution cites constitutional violations (Fourth, Fifth, and Eighth Amendments) related to police use of force but does not create new legal requirements or penalties. It serves as a statement of principle, directing the House to focus on accountability measures without implementing specific policy changes.
