The bill proposes the repeal of sections 67.307 and 285.550 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, which pertain to sanctuary policies. Sanctuary policies are defined as any municipal orders or ordinances that limit or prohibit officials from cooperating with federal agencies regarding the immigration status of individuals or that grant illegal aliens rights contrary to federal law. The existing law also stipulates that municipalities enacting such policies would be ineligible for state grants until the policies are repealed. By repealing these sections, the bill effectively removes the legal framework that prohibits municipalities from adopting sanctuary policies and eliminates the associated penalties for doing so. This change would allow municipalities greater discretion in their immigration-related policies without the risk of losing state funding.
