HB 2376 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes the offense of solicitation on an interstate highway or in a public right-of-way

HB 2376 makes it a class B misdemeanor to intentionally solicit, beg, or ask for cash, currency, or other financial items on interstate highways, public rights-of-way, or adjacent ramps. It directly affects individuals who solicit for money in these specific public transportation areas. The law defines "anything of value" as cash or financial instruments but excludes authorized charitable solicitors under existing law. This bill creates a new minor criminal offense for solicitation in these high-traffic zones.
