MO HB3132

Creates a "certificate of exemplary conduct and good moral character" that Missouri circuit courts can issue to individuals convicted of offenses, excluding those required to register as sex offenders

Requires courts to issue certificates upon finding clear and convincing evidence that the individual has demonstrated good moral character, conduct warranting the certificate, and that issuance serves the public interest

Certificates remove barriers to employment, housing, and occupational licenses, though entities may still access and consider the individual's conviction history

Provides employer liability protection for acts or omissions by employees holding certificates, except in cases of willful or wanton conduct by the employer in hiring

Requires the Division of Professional Registration and other licensing entities to report annually by November 30th on the number of license applicants with felony convictions and certificates, along with approval and denial rates
