Summary

SB 955 - This act repeals sections of law which were declared unconstitutional in United States v. Missouri. The act provides that no public officer or state or local employee has the authority to knowingly violate a law-abiding citizen's legal rights regarding firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition. However, Missouri officials may accept aid from federal officials or render aid to federal officials. Any political subdivision or law enforcement agency that employs a law enforcement officer who acts knowingly to deprive a Missouri citizen of certain rights or privileges ensured by the federal and state constitutions relating to the right to bear arms, while acting under the color of any state or federal law shall investigate such officer for potential discipline up to and including termination of employment. The Attorney General or a prosecuting attorney may pursue an action for injunctive or other equitable relief. The court shall hold a hearing on the motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction within 30 days of service of the petition. It shall not be a violation of this act to provide aid to federal officials in the investigation and prosecution of a case where there is reasonable suspicion to believe that the suspect engaged in criminal conduct. This act is similar to SB 858 (2026), HCS/HB 3105 (2026), HB 3130 (2026), and is similar to provisions contained in HB 2660 (2026), SB 1488 (2026), SB 23 (2025), and HCS/HB 1175 (2025).
