HB 2326 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions governing municipal policies on sanctuary for certain individuals

HB 2326 requires Missouri municipalities to adopt policies promoting voluntary cooperation with federal and state immigration authorities, directly affecting all cities, counties, towns, and villages. It replaces previous restrictions on "sanctuary policies" by mandating that local officials receive written guidance on immigration enforcement duties and prohibiting policies that restrict cooperation with federal immigration agencies or grant undocumented immigrants rights violating federal law. Municipalities complying with these requirements may qualify for state funding, technical assistance, or training programs, while those suspected of noncompliance must receive written notice and a chance to appeal before any funding adjustments. The bill explicitly preserves municipalities' ability to maintain community trust and encourage crime reporting, as long as policies align with federal law.
