AN ACT
To amend chapter 407, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to identity theft.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 407, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 407.2030, to read as follows:
407.2030. 1. A person who has learned or reasonably suspects that he or she has been the victim of identity theft may contact the local law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction over his or her actual residence, which shall take a police report of the matter, and provide the complainant with a copy of that report. Notwithstanding the fact that jurisdiction may lie elsewhere for investigation and prosecution of a crime of identity theft, the local law enforcement agency shall take the complaint and provide the complainant with a copy of the complaint and may refer the complaint to a law enforcement agency in that different jurisdiction.
2. Nothing in this section interferes with the discretion of a local police department to allocate resources for investigations of crimes. A complaint filed under this section is not required to be counted as an open case for purposes such as compiling open case statistics.
