SB 1265 - This act modifies various provisions relating to illegal aliens. SANCTUARY CITIES (Section 67.307) The act provides that any municipality that enacts or adopts a sanctuary policy shall be subject to a fine of $25,500 for each day on which the municipality has such sanctuary policy in effect. E-VERIFY (Section 285.530) Current law requires only public employers to enroll and actively participate in a federal work authorization program, while all other employers are permitted, but not required, to enroll and participate. This act requires all employers to enroll and actively participate in a federal work authorization program. This provision is identical to a provision in SB 1038 (2026), a provision in SB 1070 (2026), SB 1373 (2024), substantially similar to provisions in SB 528 (2025) and HB 120 (2025), and similar to a provision in HB 1515 (2024), a provision in HCS/HB 2489 (2024), a provision in HB 2844 (2024), and a provision in HCS/HB 188 (2023). OFFENSE OF TRANSPORTATION, CONCEALMENT, OR INDUCEMENT OF ILLEGAL ALIENS (Section 577.675) The act expands the offense of transportation of an illegal alien to include the concealment or inducement of an illegal alien. Any person is guilty of such an offense, punished as a class D felony, if he or she knowingly: • Conceals, harbors or shields or attempts to conceal, harbor or shield an illegal alien from detection in any place in this state, including any building or any means of transportation, if the person knows or recklessly disregards the fact that the alien has come to, has entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law; or • Encourages or induces an alien to come to or reside in this state. LOCAL ENFORCEMENT OF FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAWS (Section 590.250) The act allows any law enforcement officer or agency to enforce the provisions of federal immigration law that establish criminal penalties. This act is identical to SB 114 (2025) and substantially similar to SB 1138 (2024), SB 1373 (2024), HB 2470 (2024), SB 130 (2023), and SB 1227 (2022). SCOTT SVAGERA
Based on the provided context, no substantive summary of SB 1459 can be generated. The bill's title ("Anti-Red Flag Gun Seizure Act") and recent actions (prefiled December 2025, first read January 2026) are listed, but no official abstract, provisions, or policy details are included in the context. Without specific information on the bill's mechanisms or intended effects, a factual summary cannot be created. This bill appears to be in an early procedural stage with no available content to describe its actual provisions.
HB 3498 requires Missouri parolees and probationers to register with local law enforcement upon release and when changing residence, with failure to register potentially leading to revocation. It mandates that all conditions of probation or parole be recorded in the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES), a shared database accessible to law enforcement. The bill allows parole or probation officers to issue warrants for violations, enabling officers to arrest individuals without a warrant if they have probable cause. These changes directly affect parolees and probationers under Missouri supervision, while increasing data sharing between correctional agencies and law enforcement.
HB 3414 creates new criminal penalties for fraud involving access devices (like credit cards, phone numbers, or account credentials) and telecom identifiers. It prohibits specific acts such as using counterfeit or stolen devices to obtain $1,000+ in value, trafficking in device-making equipment, intercepting telecom data, or illegally modifying devices to access services without authorization. Violations carry fines or up to 20 years in prison, depending on the offense and whether it’s a repeat violation. The law directly affects individuals committing these fraud schemes, while financial institutions, telecom carriers, and law enforcement (via the Missouri Attorney General) are key stakeholders. It does not impact legitimate business practices or ordinary consumers.
HB 2727 amends Missouri law to prohibit possessing high-capacity magazines, defined as devices holding more than ten rounds of ammunition. This directly affects individuals who own such magazines, making it a class D felony for most violations (except for specific exceptions like law enforcement or museums). The bill replaces existing provisions by adding "high-capacity magazine" to the list of prohibited items under weapons possession laws. Exceptions allow possession for official duties, commercial transactions with authorized entities, lawful industrial use, museum displays, or dramatic performances.
HB 3045 establishes specific procedural requirements for administrative investigations into law enforcement officers' conduct. It requires agencies to provide officers with written notice of investigations 24 hours in advance, including complaint details and investigator identities, and mandates that complaints include the complainant's identifying information (held confidential except to the officer under investigation). The bill limits investigations to 90 days (with up to two 60-day extensions for "good cause"), ensures officers receive Garrity warnings before questioning, and guarantees access to attorneys during interviews that could lead to disciplinary action. These changes directly affect law enforcement officers facing disciplinary reviews and the agencies conducting those investigations.
HB 3100 creates a new class C misdemeanor offense for intentionally approaching within 25 feet of a first responder after being orally warned to stop, when the person knows the responder is performing duties. It specifically targets actions intended to block the responder’s work, threaten them with physical harm, or harass them (defined as causing substantial emotional distress with no legitimate purpose). The law applies to individuals who ignore such warnings while law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, or hospital emergency staff are on duty. Violators face misdemeanor penalties, with the bill defining "first responder" to include emergency medical personnel and security staff in hospital emergency settings.
HB 3017 creates a new class E felony charge for property owners, renters, or occupants who knowingly permit illegal activities on their property. It directly affects landlords, property managers, and residents who fail to address repeated illegal conduct like noise disturbances, underage drinking, violence, or weapons offenses occurring on their premises. The law requires three documented law enforcement incidents within 12 months - each verified by officers recording the specific illegal activity - to trigger arrest for "permitting a public nuisance." Property owners without a responsible party can also face property restrictions to prevent ongoing safety hazards.
SB 1338 creates a new state criminal offense for entering Missouri while violating federal immigration law (specifically, 8 U.S.C. § 1325, which prohibits unauthorized entry into the U.S.). If convicted, individuals face a $100,000 fine and a mandatory order of removal from the state. The bill also allows courts to dismiss charges and issue removal orders without a full trial upon request. This law directly affects non-citizens who enter Missouri without federal authorization under U.S. immigration law.
