The bill proposes the addition of a new section, 1.3060, to chapter 1 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, which outlines specific regulations regarding the conduct of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents while operating in the state. It mandates that ICE agents must not conceal their identity or wear facial coverings that obscure their facial features during their duties, with certain exceptions provided. The bill defines "facial covering" and lists items that are not considered facial coverings, such as translucent face shields, medical masks, and protective gear necessary for safety. Additionally, the bill specifies that the regulations do not apply to agents working undercover or those assigned to a Special Response Team (SRT) while performing their responsibilities. Violations of this section are classified as a class A misdemeanor, establishing a penalty for non-compliance. This legislation aims to enhance transparency and accountability in federal immigration enforcement operations within Missouri.
