Should felons be bondsmen?
A review of state statutes across the US confirm that most states strictly prohibit felons from obtaining a bail bond license. Only five states, including Missouri, allow it. Research from all fifty states reveal that 35 states require state-level licensing. The other 15 states require bondsmen to qualify through the local court system. Of the 35 licensing states, thirty states require the license applicant to be free of any felony criminal conviction. Missouri should follow this trend. It is good policy for the citizens of Missouri.
