HB2325

Missouri HB2325 establishes enhanced sentencing for wearing face or body coverings during the commission of a crime.

Missouri HB2325 amends state law to allow for enhanced sentencing when a person is convicted of a misdemeanor or felony and it is proven that they wore a mask, hood, disguise, or other coverings to conceal their identity. The enhanced sentence may increase the class of the offense by up to one class higher. The court considers the circumstances of the offense and the person's prior record when deciding whether an enhancement is appropriate. This applies only to misdemeanors and felonies involving theft, assault, or property damage exceeding five hundred dollars.
