The 2024 Minor-Infraction Limit Is Narrow
Missouri section 307.018 limits arrest warrants for a specified failure-to-respond, pay, or appear pathway involving certain minor Chapter 307 infractions after notice and a second date. St. Joseph's October 2024 release stresses that the duty to respond remains. The change does not cover every ordinance, misdemeanor, DWI, or more serious traffic-related case. Ask the issuing court which charge and procedure apply instead of assuming that all traffic warrants disappeared.
