Establishes an animal abuse offender registry
HB 3302 creates a public registry for individuals convicted of animal abuse in Missouri. Courts must send conviction details (including name and date of birth) to the state highway patrol within 60 days of sentencing. First-time offenders' names stay on the registry for two years after conviction, while repeat offenders' names remain for five years, with removal if no new offenses occur during that time. Names are also removed if the conviction is expunged. The registry will be searchable on the state public safety website.
