SB 1134 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes provisions requiring health care facilities to display certain signs

SB 1134 requires all Missouri health care facilities - including hospitals - to display a prominent sign warning that assaulting healthcare workers during their duties is a serious crime. The sign must state: "WARNING: ASSAULTING A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL WHO IS ENGAGED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS OR HER OFFICIAL DUTIES, INCLUDING STRIKING A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL WITH ANY BODILY FLUID, IS A SERIOUS CRIME THAT MAY BE PUNISHABLE AS A CLASS A MISDEMEANOR." This applies to every facility defined under Missouri law as a "health care facility." The bill mandates this signage as a visible public notice, with no changes to criminal penalties.
