The law--which was substituted by a Missouri Senate committee for a House bill on sentencing guidelines--heightens the penalties for trespass occurring on critical infrastructure property. Trespass with intent "to damage, destroy, vandalize, deface, [or] tamper with" a facility or intent to "impede or inhibit the operations" of a facility is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by one year in jail and a $2,000 fine. Protesters seeking to peacefully demonstrate against construction of a new pipeline, for instance, with the intent to disrupt that construction, could be prosecuted under the law. The law also newly criminalizes "damage" to critical infrastructure, broadly defined to include vandalism, and makes it a Class C felony, punishable by 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The law also newly and broadly defines "critical infrastructure" to include oil and gas pipelines, refineries, cell phone towers, and railroad tracks whether operational or under construction. <br>Full text of bill: <a href="https://house.mo.gov/Bill.aspx?bill=HB355&amp;year=2019&amp;code=R" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">house.mo.gov/Bill.aspx?bill=HB</span><span class="invisible">355&amp;year=2019&amp;code=R</span></a></p><p>Status: enacted<br>Introduced 18 Apr 2019; Approved by Senate as amended 17 May 2019; Approved by House 17 May 2019; Signed by Governor Parson on 11 July 2019</p><p>Issue(s): Infrastructure, Trespass</p><p>HB 1413: Limiting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicEmployees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicEmployees</span></a>' ability to picket </p><p>***Note: A Judge of the Circuit Court of St. Louis County found HB 1413 unconstitutional in its entirety and granted a permanent injunction against the enforcement of the law on January 27, 2020. ***</p><p>Bars certain public employees from picketing. The law requires that all labor agreements negotiated between a "public body" and a labor organization "shall expressly prohibit all strikes and picketing of any kind." The law further mandates that such agreements provide for the "immediate termination" of "any public employee who...pickets over any personnel matter." "Public body" is broadly defined in the law to include "the state of Missouri, or any officer, agency, department, bureau, division, board or commission of the state, or any other political subdivision or special district of or within the state"; accordingly, the law may apply to many labor agreements. While "picketing" is not defined under the law, Missouri Code elsewhere refers to "picketing or other organized protests" as "constitutionally protected activity," indicating that picketing as used in HB 1413 includes protests and demonstrations unrelated to labor strikes.<br>Full text of bill: <a href="https://house.mo.gov/bill.aspx?bill=HB1413&amp;year=2018&amp;code=R" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">house.mo.gov/bill.aspx?bill=HB</span><span class="invisible">1413&amp;year=2018&amp;code=R</span></a></p><p>Status: enacted<br>Introduced 3 Jan 2018; Approved by House 12 February 2018; approved by Senate 16 May 2018; Signed by Governor Greitens 1 June 2018</p><p> <br>HB 601: Heightened penalties for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/masked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>masked</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protesters</span></a></p><p>Would increase the penalty for any offense if committed by someone wearing a mask or other device that concealed their identity. The bill does not require that someone intended to conceal their identity in order to facilitate a crime. The bill also does not provide exemptions for masks worn for medical or any other purpose, nor does it limit the enhanced penalties to violent crimes. As such, a peaceful protester who committed a nonviolent offense while wearing a mask—whether a medical mask to avoid contagion, a mask to avoid retaliation for their political speech, or a mask worn for any other reason—could face steep penalties. For instance, peaceful demonstrators in Missouri may be charged with “disturbing the peace,” a minor misdemeanor, if they make too much noise or obstruct a sidewalk or road in the course of a protest. Under the bill, a masked protester charged with that offense could face up to one year in jail and $2,000 for the first offense and a felony penalties (up to four years in prison and $10,000) for subsequent offenses.<br>Full text of bill: <a href="https://house.mo.gov/Bill.aspx?bill=HB601&amp;year=2025&amp;code=R" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">house.mo.gov/Bill.aspx?bill=HB</span><span class="invisible">601&amp;year=2025&amp;code=R</span></a></p><p>Status: pending<br>Introduced 8 Jan 2025.<br>Issue(s): Face Covering</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstAmendment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalizingDissent</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Clampdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Clampdown</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingProtest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalizingProtest</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CharacteristicsOfFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiProtestLaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiProtestLaws</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PipelineProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PipelineProtests</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiMaskLaws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiMaskLaws</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HeatherHeyer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HeatherHeyer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UniteTheRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniteTheRight</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DrivingDownProtestors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DrivingDownProtestors</span></a></p>

"SPRING" LIBRARY RESOURCES - Cleaning/Organizing, Gardening & Donating!

SPRING CLEANING

"With Spring around the corner, Joplin Public Library can help you get your home and garden prepped for the new season!

"Spring is the time to tackle the cleaning and repairing you've put off all winter. Check out a book on decluttering, a complete guide to cleaning the whole house, or handy hints on storage, repairs, and maintenance.

"Need a tool for spring cleaning? Check out the #LibraryOfThings for a professional carpet cleaner, a household tool kit, or a dryer vent cleaning system.

"Just need something to listen to while you clean? Libby and hoopla have great audiobooks you can stream from your devices!

SPRING GARDENING

"If you have a garden you want to get ready for Spring, you'll want to be certain to use Library resources as well!

"The annual plant swap on March 29 is a great place to meet fellow plant lovers and get new plants, cuttings, and seeds!

"Browse the book selection for instructions on vegetable gardening, flower gardening and more. If you're more of a visual learning, stream Great Courses How to Grow Anything on Kanopy using your JPL card!

"Just dipping your toes into gardening? Check out our gardening set from the Library of Things and try before you buy!

DONATIONS ACCEPTED

"Also, if you`re decluttering and wondering where to go with your gently used books, movies, and magazines. Bring them to the Library.

"The Joplin Public Library accepts donations of GENTLY USED books, DVDs, CDs and recent issues of popular magazines. As part of their volunteer duties, Friends of the Joplin Public Library manage the donated items and the sale shelf. Funds raised will help to support the Friends in their mission of enhancing and supporting the Library. They would love to have your items to sell."
