Abolishes municipal courts
This bill repeals existing statutes and enacts new provisions to establish a centralized criminal record repository in Missouri. It requires law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and courts to submit detailed arrest, charge, and disposition information, including fingerprints and photographs, to this central system without delay. The legislation also outlines specific procedures for handling juvenile arrests, ensuring that records for young offenders are managed separately and may be expunged if no petition is filed within a set timeframe. Ultimately, the measure aims to create a unified database for tracking criminal history across the state.
