Current Bill Summary

SCS/SB 314 - This act modifies provisions relating to the office of the Attorney General.

ATTORNEY GENERAL RESIDENCE (Section 27.010)

This act repeals the requirement that the Attorney General must reside in Jefferson City, Missouri.

These provisions are identical to provisions in HCS/HB 1787 (2020).

OFFENSE OF TAMPERING WITH A JUDICIAL OFFICER (Section 575.095)

Under current law, a person commits the offense of tampering with a judicial officer if the person harasses, intimidates, or influences a judicial officer as provided under the law.

This act adds the Attorney General or his or her attorneys general to the definition of "judicial officer".

These provisions are substantially similar to SB 821 (2020).
