HB 1163 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes the offense of hindering prosecution by a municipality official who votes to enact or adopt a sanctuary policy and prohibits state funding for municipalities that adopt a sanctuary policy in violation of state law

HB 1163 prohibits Missouri municipalities from adopting "sanctuary policies" that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement or grant illegal immigrants rights violating federal law. Municipalities adopting such policies lose all state funding and grants until the policy is repealed. Municipal officials who vote to enact these policies commit a criminal offense under state law. The bill defines sanctuary policies as those restricting communication with federal agencies about immigration status or granting illegal status within the municipality. It also requires municipalities to provide written notices to law enforcement about cooperating with immigration enforcement.
