Expands the definition of special victim to include staff members of the division of youth services and registered nurses

This bill changes an existing Missouri law by updating the definition of "special victim." It expands the list of individuals considered "special victims" to include highway workers, utility workers, cable workers, mass transit employees, and staff members of the division of youth services, in addition to previously defined groups like law enforcement and the elderly. This change means that crimes against these newly added groups could be treated with increased severity under the law.
