MO HB3012

Creates a publicly accessible registry of "persistent domestic violence offenders" (persons with two or more convictions for domestic abuse offenses) within the Missouri Department of Public Safety, maintained by the Missouri State Highway Patrol and effective for offenses occurring on or after January 1, 2027

Registry includes offender's name, date of birth, offense details, conviction date, county, and photograph, but excludes address, Social Security number, and identification numbers to protect privacy

Requires offenders to pay a $150 registration fee, with $50 retained by the court for administration and $100 directed to a new Domestic Violence Prevention Fund for grants to prevention and intervention services

Registration duration varies by number of prior convictions: 5 years (one prior), 7 years (two priors), 10 years (three priors), or 20 years (four or more priors)

Failure to register penalties include a civil fine up to $500 for first offense (with 15-day cure period) and a Class A misdemeanor (up to one year imprisonment, $1,000 fine) for subsequent violations; the program sunsets after six years unless reauthorized
