HB 591 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to reporting requirements of law enforcement

HB 591 requires Missouri law enforcement agencies to submit standardized crime data to a statewide system, including quarterly clearance rates for violent crimes starting January 2026. It mandates detailed reporting on nonfatal shootings, disaggregated by victim demographics and how cases were solved (by arrest or "exceptional means"). The bill creates a grant program to fund agencies improving violent crime clearance rates through hiring, technology, and community partnerships like hospital-based violence intervention programs. These changes directly affect all Missouri law enforcement agencies and standardize crime reporting to align with federal requirements.
