Creates the "Missing and Murdered African American Women and Girls Task Force"

HB 1096 creates Missouri's "Missing and Murdered African American Women and Girls Task Force" to address systemic violence against this specific group. The task force, composed of legislative members, public safety officials, law enforcement representatives, legal advocates, and survivors, must examine root causes of violence, improve data collection, and review policing and justice systems impacting this community. It is required to submit annual reports to the governor and legislature starting in 2026, focusing on prevention strategies and support for victims. The task force expires on December 31, 2027, unless extended to 2029. This bill directly affects African American women and girls in Missouri experiencing gender-based violence.
