5/22/07-A bill has died that would have created the crime of leaving a child unattended in a motor vehicle.
Sponsored by Rep. Kevin Threlkeld, R-Washington, HB113 was awaiting consideration on the House floor when the session ended, effectively killing it for the year.
The bill would have made it a violation of the protection when a child 10 years old or younger is left unattended in a motor vehicle and the child’s health or safety is at risk, the engine is running, or the keys are anywhere in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Violators would have faced up to 15 days in jail and/or $50 fines.
Missouri law already makes it a crime to leave a child 10 years old or younger unattended in a motor vehicle if the child injures or kills another person by causing a motor vehicle collision or by causing the motor vehicle to injure or kill a pedestrian.
