MO HB1242

Creates a public internet registry maintained by Missouri State Highway Patrol of residents convicted or pleading guilty to methamphetamine-related drug offenses on or after August 28, 2009, including distribution, manufacturing, trafficking, and related crimes.

Registry entries include offender's name, date of birth, offense details, conviction date, county, and identifying data, but excludes Social Security numbers.

Court clerks must forward judgment copies and dates of birth to State Highway Patrol within 45 days of conviction for eligible offenses, beginning August 28, 2010.

Offenders are automatically removed from registry seven years after their most recent qualifying conviction date.

Requires law enforcement investigating illegal drug manufacturing to notify the Department of Natural Resources to identify, clean up, and dispose of hazardous substances found at crime scenes, with costs recovered from responsible parties when possible.
