HB 3202 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Requires peace officers to be legally authorized to work in the United States under Federal law

HB 3202 requires all licensed peace officers in the state to maintain legal authorization to work in the United States under federal law as a condition of licensure. This directly affects current and future peace officers seeking or renewing their licenses, including those employed by local law enforcement agencies. The bill amends licensing standards to add this requirement to the existing conditions for officers, alongside continuing education and background checks. It does not change other licensing processes but explicitly mandates federal work authorization as a non-negotiable eligibility factor.
