Blair’s Law on its way to Governor Mike Parson

Blair’s Law is finally on its way to the Missouri governor’s desk. 

The measure is part of an overall crime package passed during the final week of the legislative session. 

Democrat Greg Razer of Kansas City sponsored Blair’s Law in the Missouri Senate.

According to Razer:  “The bill is named after an 11-year-old girl named Blair who was tragically killed when she was hit by a bullet from celebratory gunfire…that was 12 years ago.”

The measure cracks down on celebratory gunfire. 

The first offense will be a Class A misdemeanor, the second offense a Class E felony, and third offense a Class D felony. 

The bill has been filed several years in a row, but never made it through both the House and Senate until now.
