HB 3353 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Prohibits law enforcement officers, including federal agents, from concealing their identity or wearing masks that conceal their identity when performing operations in the state of Missouri

HB 3353 prohibits Missouri law enforcement officers (including federal agents like ICE officers operating in the state) from wearing masks or face coverings that conceal their identity during official duties. The bill requires officers to visibly display their name, rank, and badge number and bans facial coverings that obscure the face, except for specific exceptions like medical masks, helmets for safety during operations, undercover work, SWAT/SRT activities, or emergency situations where identification isn't possible. Violations are punishable as a class A misdemeanor. The law directly affects all state and federal officers performing duties in Missouri, with exceptions ensuring operational safety and undercover needs are addressed.
