HB 2336 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Prohibits certain individuals from possessing a firearm due to domestic violence

This bill updates Missouri laws regarding orders of protection to clarify that these legal orders are designed to safeguard individuals from domestic violence, stalking, or sexual assault. It allows courts to issue comprehensive orders that stop the accused person from contacting the victim, entering their home, or transferring shared property, while also prohibiting mutual orders unless both parties voluntarily file petitions. Additionally, the legislation expands the court's ability to issue these orders alongside decisions on child custody, support, and the payment of medical bills or shelter fees. By repealing and replacing specific sections of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, the bill aims to provide clearer and more robust protections for victims of abuse.
