Legislative Alert - Missouri House Bill 175
House Bill 175 has received its first reading at the Missouri Legislature. The summary of the bill, provided by the Legislature, is as follows:
This bill specifies that, if a landlord evicts a tenant
in violation of any statute or county or municipal ordinance, the
landlord shall be guilty of a class E felony.
The bill also increases the penalty for assault in the
4th degree, a class A misdemeanor in most cases, to a class E
felony if the victim is a tenant in a landlord-tenant
relationship. If the assault on the tenant involves a weapon,
it is a class C felony.
This bill is the same as HB 2532 (2018).
You can get the full text of the bill and track its progress
at the Missouri House of Representatives.
We encourage you to review this proposed legislation, and
make your opinion known to your Missouri representative. If
you're not sure who that is, look them up here!
(Remember, the Missouri Legislature is still in session and
working, even though parts of the Federal government are shut
down.)
