USE OF FORCE BY A SECURITY GUARD (Section 563.041)

This act provides a defense for an armed nuclear security guard who has used deadly physical force when the security guard reasonably believes it is immediately necessary for self-defense, or to prevent an action that would constitute murder, voluntary manslaughter, or assault. This act also provides a defense for an armed nuclear security guard who has used physical force to prevent an action that would constitute assault, kidnapping, burglary, arson, criminal damage to property, robbery, armed criminal action, or criminal trespass. Further, an armed nuclear security guard has a defense for threatening to use force if he or she believes it to be necessary for self-defense. No such guard, employer of a guard, or owner of a nuclear power plant shall be subject to civil liability for conduct permitted under this act.

TRESPASS (Section 569.140.3)

This act provides that the offense of trespass in the first degree is a Class E felony if such offense occurs on the grounds of a nuclear power plant.

This act is identical to a provision of CCS/SS/SCS/HB 1633 (2018) and similar to SB 830 (2018).
