Modifies provisions relating to criminal offenses, including 48-hour holds, assault, domestic violence, stalking, and violations of no contact orders
HB 3426 modifies Missouri's domestic violence protection laws, primarily affecting victims seeking orders and respondents accused of abuse. It establishes new temporary orders prohibiting contact, access to shared housing, and communication, while banning mutual protection orders unless both parties properly filed petitions. Key provisions include courts granting custody, visitation, housing payments, pet custody, and wireless phone number transfers to victims, with specific rules for safety and property. These changes apply to cases under sections 455.010-455.085 of Missouri law.
