Establishes provisions regarding placement of a child if a child's parent or legal guardian has been subject to a federal enforcement action

Summary

If a child’s parent or legal guardian is arrested, detained, removed, or deported by a federal authority, the bill forces schools and other state programs to alert the Missouri Children’s Division within 24 hours. The division must then assess the child’s safety and arrange placement, preferably with relatives, while keeping the child’s schooling stable. The measure aims to safeguard children’s well‑being without interfering with federal immigration enforcement.
