HCS/SB 673 - This act requires local law enforcement
agencies to determine whether homicides are related to domestic
violence, and to report such findings to the Missouri State
Highway Patrol on forms that the Patrol shall develop and
distribute by October 1, 1998. Completed forms shall be
forwarded to the Highway Patrol no later than seven days after a
suspect is arrested for the homicide. The Highway Patrol shall
compile annual reports based on the information. Any employee of
a law enforcement agency who in good faith sends such information
to the Highway Patrol shall be immune from liability. The
provisions of this act were truly agreed to in HB 1918.
