Requires law enforcement officers to complete annual autism sensitivity training

Summary

HB 2804 would add a one‑hour autism sensitivity module to the mandatory continuing‑education requirements for all peace officers in Missouri. The training must teach officers how to recognize signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder and how to interact effectively with people who have ASD, and it can be completed online. The bill also outlines licensing for training providers and partial reimbursement from the POST fund, but it failed to pass.
