HCS HB 76 -- TAMPERING WITH A JUDICIAL OFFICER SPONSOR: Monaco (Clayton) COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "do pass" by the Committee on Judiciary by a vote of 18 to 1. This substitute expands the crime of tampering with a judicial officer to add family court commissioners, drug court commissioners, and juvenile court officers to the definition of "judicial officers." FISCAL NOTE: Not available at time of printing. PROPONENTS: Supporters say that the bill is necessary because state efforts to crack down on child support delinquencies, drug-related crimes, and juvenile crimes have been successful; and therefore family court commissioners, drug court commissioners, and juvenile court officers are on the front line facing harassment. Testifying for the bill was Representative Clayton. OPPONENTS: There was no opposition voiced to the committee. Julie Jinkens McNitt, Legislative AnalystCopyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
