Kehoe signs public safety bill

(From Gov, Mike Kehoe)

Today, Governor Mike Kehoe signed House Bill (HB) 2637 into law.

"I appreciate the members of the General Assembly for sending another important piece of public safety legislation to my desk this year," said Governor Kehoe. "This bill includes several provisions to make Missouri safer by modernizing tools available to the criminal justice system. With FIFA World Cup 2026™ matches and events gearing up in Kansas City, this legislation also allows law enforcement to effectively combat the threat of unlawful unmanned aircraft systems."

HB 2637, sponsored by Representative John Black and Senator Nick Schroer, is a sweeping public safety bill that most notably includes provisions to create new offenses concerning unlawful tracking of motor vehicles and cyberstalking, while also establishing more efficient protections for crime victims and modernizing mitigation measures for unmanned aircraft threats.
