HB 2781 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the "Crime Victims' Compensation Fund" and establishes the "Victims of Domestic Violence Fund"

HB 2781 adds a $17.50 fee to most criminal court cases and a $7.50 fee to certain juvenile cases, with all funds directed to two new funds. It creates a dedicated "Victims of Domestic Violence Fund" to support services for domestic violence victims, while splitting remaining funds 50/50 between this new fund and the existing Crime Victims' Compensation Fund. The bill also allocates $250,000 annually to state forensic labs for drug and evidence analysis, and requires monthly reporting plus biennial audits of all funds. These changes directly affect court systems, crime victim service providers, and domestic violence support organizations in Missouri.
