75 8. A written report shall be prepared in accordance with this chapter developing fully
76 all available information relevant to the criteria which shall be considered by the court in

78 chapter and whether there are reasonable prospects of rehabilitation within the juvenile justice
79 system. These criteria shall include but not be limited to:
80 (1) The seriousness of the offense alleged and whether the protection of the community
81 requires transfer to the court of general jurisdiction;
82 (2) Whether the offense alleged involved viciousness, force and violence;
83 (3) Whether the offense alleged was against persons or property with greater weight
84 being given to the offense against persons, especially if personal injury resulted;

86 indicates that the child may be beyond rehabilitation under the juvenile code;
87 (5) The record and history of the child, including experience with the juvenile justice
88 system, other courts, supervision, commitments to juvenile institutions and other placements;
89 (6) The sophistication and maturity of the child as determined by consideration of his
90 or her home and environmental situation, emotional condition and pattern of living;
91 (7) The age of the child;

98 (1) Findings showing that the court had jurisdiction of the cause and of the parties;
99 (2) Findings showing that the child was represented by counsel;

103 [8.] 10. A copy of the petition or motion to modify and order of the dismissal shall be
104 sent to the prosecuting attorney.
105 [9.] 11. When a petition or motion to modify has been dismissed thereby permitting a
106 child to be prosecuted under the general law and the prosecution of the child results in a
107 conviction, the jurisdiction of the juvenile court over that child is forever terminated, except as
108 provided in subsection [10] 12 of this section, for an act that would be a violation of a state law
109 or municipal ordinance.
110 [10.] 12. If a petition or motion to modify has been dismissed thereby permitting a child
111 to be prosecuted under the general law and the child is found not guilty by a court of general
112 jurisdiction, the juvenile court shall have jurisdiction over any later offense committed by that
113 child which would be considered a misdemeanor or felony if committed by an adult, subject to
114 the certification provisions of this section.
115 [11.] 13. If the court does not dismiss the petition or motion to modify to permit the
116 child to be prosecuted under the general law, it shall set a date for the hearing upon the petition
117 as provided in section 211.171.

7 on its own motion, may exclude for good cause shown any person or persons from the
8 proceedings to protect the welfare and best interests of the child and for exceptional
9 circumstances. Any party to a juvenile court proceeding referred to in this subsection, except
10 the state, may file a motion requesting that the general public be excluded from the proceeding
11 or any portion of the proceeding. Upon the filing of such motion, the court shall hear arguments
12 by the parties, but no evidence, and shall make a determination whether closure is in the best
13 interest of the parties or whether it is in the public interest to deny such motion. The court shall
14 make a finding on the record when a motion to close a hearing pursuant to this section is made
15 and heard by the court.
16 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 1 of this section, the general public shall
17 be excluded from all juvenile court proceedings referred to in subsection 1 of this section during

25 investigation reports of the children's division, social histories, home studies, and police reports
26 and law enforcement records. Only persons who are found by the court to have a legitimate
27 interest shall be allowed access to confidential or closed files. In determining whether a person
28 has a legitimate interest, the court shall consider the nature of the proceedings, the welfare and
29 safety of the public, and the interest of any child involved.
30 4. For records made available to the public pursuant to this section:

90 eligibility hearing if the person indicates to the parole board a desire to be
91 notified.
92 12. The parole board may, at its discretion, require any offender
93 seeking parole to meet certain conditions during the term of that parole so
94 long as said conditions are not illegal or impossible for the offender to
95 perform. These conditions may include an amount of restitution to the state
96 for the cost of that offender's incarceration.
97 13. Special parole conditions shall be responsive to the assessed risk
98 and needs of the offender or the need for extraordinary supervision, such as
99 electronic monitoring. The parole board shall adopt rules to minimize the
100 conditions placed on low-risk cases, to frontload conditions upon release, and
101 to require the modification and reduction of conditions based on the person's
102 continuing stability in the community. Parole board rules shall permit parole

122 assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to
123 disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the
124 grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August
125 28, 2005, shall be invalid and void.

56 shall pray for the orders desired.
57 5. In making an award of custody, the court shall consider all relevant factors including
58 the presumption that the best interests of the child will be served by placing the child in the

61 appoint a guardian ad litem or a court-appointed special advocate to represent the children in
62 accordance with chapter 452 and shall consider all other factors in accordance with chapter 452.
63 6. The court shall grant to the noncustodial parent rights to visitation with any minor
64 child born to or adopted by the parties, unless the court finds, after hearing, that visitation would
65 endanger the child's physical health, impair the child's emotional development or would
66 otherwise conflict with the best interests of the child, or that no visitation can be arranged which
67 would sufficiently protect the custodial parent from further domestic violence. The court may
68 appoint a guardian ad litem or court-appointed special advocate to represent the minor child in
69 accordance with chapter 452 whenever the custodial parent alleges that visitation with the
70 noncustodial parent will damage the minor child.

107 and customary requirements for account establishment to the petitioner as part of this transfer
108 of billing responsibility for a wireless telephone number or numbers and any devices attached
109 to that number or numbers including, but not limited to, identification, financial information, and
110 customer preferences.
111 (4) This section shall not affect the ability of the court to apportion the assets and debts
112 of the parties as provided for in law, or the ability to determine the temporary use, possession,
113 and control of personal property.

72 (a) One-third for terms of nine years or less;
73 (b) Three years for terms between nine and fifteen years;
74 (c) Five years for terms more than fifteen years; and the prison term shall be the
75 remainder of such term. The prison term may be extended by the parole board pursuant to
76 subsection [5] 8 of this section.
77 (2) "Conditional release" means the conditional discharge of an offender by the parole
78 board, subject to conditions of release that the parole board deems reasonable to assist the
79 offender to lead a law-abiding life, and subject to the supervision under the division of probation
80 and parole. The conditions of release shall include avoidance by the offender of any other
81 offense, federal or state, and other conditions that the parole board in its discretion deems
82 reasonably necessary to assist the releasee in avoiding further violation of the law.
83 [5.] 8. The date of conditional release from the prison term may be extended up to a
84 maximum of the entire sentence of imprisonment by the parole board. The director of any
85 division of the department of corrections except the division of probation and parole may file
86 with the parole board a petition to extend the conditional release date when an offender fails to
87 follow the rules and regulations of the division or commits an act in violation of such rules.
88 Within ten working days of receipt of the petition to extend the conditional release date, the
89 parole board shall convene a hearing on the petition. The offender shall be present and may call
90 witnesses in his or her behalf and cross-examine witnesses appearing against the offender. The
91 hearing shall be conducted as provided in section 217.670. If the violation occurs in close
CCS SS SCS HCS HBs 2637 & 3155 60
92 proximity to the conditional release date, the conditional release may be held for a maximum of
93 fifteen working days to permit necessary time for the division director to file a petition for an
94 extension with the parole board and for the parole board to conduct a hearing, provided some
95 affirmative manifestation of an intent to extend the conditional release has occurred prior to the
96 conditional release date. If at the end of a fifteen-working-day period a parole board decision
97 has not been reached, the offender shall be released conditionally. The decision of the parole
98 board shall be final.
99 9. Any person who commits a class A or B felony or an offense under chapter 566,
100 568, or 573 that requires registration as a sex offender under chapter 589, on or after
101 January 1, 2028, shall not be eligible for conditional release for that offense.
102 10. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any offender who
103 has been found guilty of a dangerous felony as defined in section 556.061 and is committed
104 to the department of corrections shall be required to serve eighty-five percent of the
105 sentence imposed by the court prior to parole eligibility.
106 11. For the purpose of determining the minimum time required to be served by the
107 offender before he or she is eligible for parole, the following calculations shall apply:
108 (1) A sentence of life shall be calculated to be thirty years; and
109 (2) Any sentence either alone or in the aggregate with other consecutive sentences
110 for offenses committed at or near the same time that is over seventy-five years shall be
111 calculated to be seventy-five years.
112 12. When consecutive sentences are imposed by a court, the minimum percentage
113 for each respective felony shall be met prior to parole eligibility.
114 13. When concurrent sentences are imposed by a court, the person shall serve the
115 minimum required percentage for the longest sentence prior to parole eligibility.
558.016. 1. The court may sentence a person who has been found guilty of an offense
2 to a term of imprisonment as authorized by section 558.011 or to a term of imprisonment
3 authorized by a statute governing the offense if it finds the defendant is a prior offender or a
4 persistent misdemeanor offender. The court [may] shall sentence a person to an extended term
5 of imprisonment if:
6 (1) The defendant is a persistent offender or a dangerous offender, and the person is
7 sentenced under subsection 7 of this section;
8 (2) The statute under which the person was found guilty contains a sentencing
9 enhancement provision that is based on a prior finding of guilt or a finding of prior criminal
10 conduct and the person is sentenced according to the statute; or
11 (3) A more specific sentencing enhancement provision applies that is based on a prior
12 finding of guilt or a finding of prior criminal conduct.

135 enforcement restitution fund may not have his or her probation revoked solely
136 for failing to make such payment unless the judge, after evidentiary hearing,
137 makes a finding supported by a preponderance of the evidence that the person
138 either willfully refused to make the payment or that the person willfully,
139 intentionally, and purposefully failed to make sufficient bona fide efforts to
140 acquire the resources to pay.

119 commission to issue recommended sentences in specific cases pending in the courts of this state.
[558.026. 1. Multiple sentences of imprisonment shall run

6 (1) Rape in the first degree, forcible rape, or rape;
7 (2) Statutory rape in the first degree;
8 (3) Sodomy in the first degree, forcible sodomy, or sodomy;
9 (4) Statutory sodomy in the first degree; or
10 (5) An attempt to commit any of the felonies listed in this subsection.
11 In such case, the sentence of imprisonment imposed for any felony listed in
12 this subsection or an attempt to commit any of the aforesaid shall run
13 consecutively to the other sentences. The sentences imposed for any other
14 offense may run concurrently.
15 2. If a person who is on probation, parole or conditional release is
16 sentenced to a term of imprisonment for an offense committed after the
17 granting of probation or parole or after the start of his or her conditional
18 release term, the court shall direct the manner in which the sentence or
19 sentences imposed by the court shall run with respect to any resulting
20 probation, parole or conditional release revocation term or terms. If the
21 subsequent sentence to imprisonment is in another jurisdiction, the court shall
22 specify how any resulting probation, parole or conditional release revocation
23 term or terms shall run with respect to the foreign sentence of imprisonment.
24 3. A court may cause any sentence it imposes to run concurrently with
25 a sentence an individual is serving or is to serve in another state or in a federal
26 correctional center. If the Missouri sentence is served in another state or in
27 a federal correctional center, subsection [4] 7 of section 558.011 and section
28 217.690 shall apply as if the individual were serving his or her sentence within

7 (3) Sodomy in the first degree, forcible sodomy, or sodomy;

CCS SS SCS HCS HBs 2637 & 3155 69
10 sentence of imprisonment imposed for any felony listed in this subsection or an attempt to
11 commit any of the aforesaid shall run consecutively to the other sentences. The sentences
12 imposed for any other offense may run concurrently.
13 2. If a person who is on probation, parole or conditional release is sentenced to a term
14 of imprisonment for an offense committed after the granting of probation or parole or after the
15 start of his or her conditional release term, the court shall direct the manner in which the
16 sentence or sentences imposed by the court shall run with respect to any resulting probation,
17 parole or conditional release revocation term or terms. If the subsequent sentence to
18 imprisonment is in another jurisdiction, the court shall specify how any resulting probation,
19 parole or conditional release revocation term or terms shall run with respect to the foreign
20 sentence of imprisonment.
21 3. A court may cause any sentence it imposes to run concurrently with a sentence an
22 individual is serving or is to serve in another state or in a federal correctional center. If the
23 Missouri sentence is served in another state or in a federal correctional center, subsection [4] 7
24 of section 558.011 and section 217.690 shall apply as if the individual were serving his or her

6 imposition of sentence, probation for a suspended execution of sentence,
7 or when executing a sentence of imprisonment, the court shall record, as
8 part of each judgment, the number of days the person [shall receive credit
9 toward the service of a sentence of imprisonment for all time] was in prison,
10 jail, or custody, that was related to the offense, after the offense occurred
11 and before [the commencement of the sentence, when the time in custody was
12 related to that offense] being sentenced to imprisonment and the defendant
13 shall be awarded credit toward the service of a sentence of imprisonment
14 for that number of days. [This] The jail time credit calculation shall be
15 based upon the certification of the sheriff as provided in subdivision (3) of
16 subsection 2 of section 217.305 and may be supplemented by a certificate of
17 a sheriff or other custodial officer from another jurisdiction having held the
18 person on the charge of the offense for which the sentence of imprisonment
19 is ordered and shall be pronounced at the time of the judgment, the

32 otherwise released.
33 4. The court may take judicial notice of all time the person has
34 served in prison, jail, or custody, or on house arrest for a criminal
35 proceeding by comparing dates of service on arrest warrants with
36 evidence contained within the court file of dates of release and the
37 prosecution and defense attorney may enter into a stipulation with regard
38 to credit for the service of a sentence of imprisonment for all time in
39 prison, jail, or custody, or on house arrest except in no event may the
40 court approve a stipulation that is greater than or less than the time in
41 custody related to an offense.
42 5. Upon motion and notice by defendant or defense counsel, for
43 any such person who was held in a juvenile detention facility for an
44 offense for which such person was subsequently adjudicated to stand trial
45 as an adult, the court may also award credit toward the service of a
46 sentence of imprisonment for any time such person was confined in a
47 juvenile detention facility.
48 6. In the event a criminal proceeding related to an offense is
49 dismissed without prejudice by a court or nolle prossed by the state, upon
50 motion and notice by defendant or defense counsel, the proceeding may
51 be consolidated into the present matter for purposes of calculating credit
52 for the service of a sentence of imprisonment.
53 7. The officer required by law to deliver a person convicted of an
54 offense in this state to the department of corrections shall endorse upon the
55 papers required by section 217.305 both the dates the offender was in custody

58 or suspended imposition of sentence and such additional days after the
59 pronouncement of sentence and before the delivery of the person to the

61 [4.] 8. If a person convicted of an offense escapes from custody, such
62 escape shall interrupt the sentence. The interruption shall continue until such
63 person is returned to the correctional center where the sentence was being
64 served, or in the case of a person committed to the custody of the department
65 of corrections, to any correctional center operated by the department of
66 corrections. An escape shall also interrupt the jail time credit to be applied to
67 a sentence which had not commenced when the escape occurred.
CCS SS SCS HCS HBs 2637 & 3155 71
68 [5.] 9. If a sentence of imprisonment is vacated and a new sentence
69 imposed upon the offender for that offense, all time served under the vacated
70 sentence shall be credited against the new sentence, unless the time has
71 already been credited to another sentence as provided in subsection 1 of this
72 section.
73 [6.] 10. If a person released from imprisonment on parole or serving
74 a conditional release term violates any of the conditions of his or her parole
75 or release, he or she may be treated as a parole violator. If the parole board
76 revokes the parole or conditional release, the paroled person shall serve the
77 remainder of the prison term and conditional release term, as an additional
78 prison term, and the conditionally released person shall serve the remainder
79 of the conditional release term as a prison term, unless released on parole.

3 place of confinement where the offender is sentenced.
4 2. [Such] When placing a person on probation for a suspended imposition of

6 of imprisonment, the court shall record, as part of each judgment, the number of days the
7 person [shall receive credit toward the service of a sentence of imprisonment for all time] was
8 in prison, jail, or custody, that was related to the offense, after the offense occurred and before
9 [the commencement of the sentence, when the time in custody was related to that offense] being
10 sentenced to imprisonment and the defendant shall be awarded credit toward the service
11 of a sentence of imprisonment for that number of days. [This] The jail time credit
12 calculation shall be based upon the certification of the sheriff as provided in subdivision (3) of
13 subsection 2 of section 217.305 and may be supplemented by a certificate of a sheriff or other
14 custodial officer from another jurisdiction having held the person on the charge of the offense

24 being held on said arrest warrant because such person posted bond, the arrest warrant was
25 recalled, or the person was otherwise released.
26 4. The court may take judicial notice of all time the person has served in prison,
27 jail, or custody, or on house arrest for a criminal proceeding by comparing dates of service
28 on arrest warrants with evidence contained within the court file of dates of release and the
29 prosecution and defense attorney may enter into a stipulation with regard to credit for the

40 defense counsel, the proceeding may be consolidated into the present matter for purposes
41 of calculating credit for the service of a sentence of imprisonment.
42 7. The officer required by law to deliver a person convicted of an offense in this state
43 to the department of corrections shall endorse upon the papers required by section 217.305 both
44 the dates the offender was in custody and the period of time to be credited toward the service of

6 circuit court only upon its own motion and not that of the state or the offender
7 shall have the power to grant probation to an offender anytime up to one
8 hundred twenty days after such offender has been delivered to the department
9 of corrections but not thereafter. The court may request information and a
10 recommendation from the department concerning the offender and such

21 placement of an offender in the structured cognitive behavioral intervention
22 program or institutional treatment program shall be at the sole discretion of the
23 department based on the assessment of the offender and available bed space.
24 When the court recommends and receives placement of an offender in a
25 department of corrections one hundred twenty-day program, the offender shall
26 be released on probation if the department of corrections determines that the
27 offender has successfully completed the program except as follows. Upon
28 successful completion of a program under this subsection, the division of
29 probation and parole shall advise the sentencing court of an offender's
30 probationary release date thirty days prior to release. The court shall follow
31 the recommendation of the department unless the court determines that

50 by the department of corrections or the court, the expenses of such program
51 to be paid by the offender, or in an available program offered by another
52 organization. If the offender is convicted of a class C, class D, or class E

56 offender pursuant to section 566.125, the court shall request the department
57 of corrections to conduct a sexual offender assessment if the defendant has

26 that probation is not appropriate, the court may order the execution of the offender's sentence
27 only after conducting a hearing on the matter within ninety to one hundred twenty days from the
28 date the offender was delivered to the department of corrections. If the department determines

37 twenty-day program under subsection 3 of this section, the court shall consider other authorized
38 dispositions. If the department of corrections one hundred twenty-day program under subsection
39 3 of this section is full, the court may place the offender in a private program approved by the
40 department of corrections or the court, the expenses of such program to be paid by the offender,

8 making the inquiry that positive identification of a person believed to be a sexual offender
9 cannot be established unless a fingerprint comparison is made, and that it is illegal to use such
10 information regarding a registered sexual offender to facilitate the commission of a crime. The

12 offender registry website maintained under section [43.650] 589.411.

4 direct that person be taken into custody and direct that the person be transferred to an appropriate
5 secure facility, including, but not limited to, a county jail. If the person is ordered to the

9 1 of this section, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, such person shall be provided

13 (2) Determine whether probable cause exists to believe that the person is a sexually
14 violent predator. The state may rely upon the petition and supplement the petition with
15 additional documentary evidence or live testimony.
16 3. At the probable cause hearing as provided in subsection 2 of this section, the detained
17 person shall have the following rights in addition to the rights previously specified:

26 department of mental health, the director of the department of mental health shall determine the
27 appropriate secure facility, which may include the department of corrections or a county jail
28 as set forth in section 632.495, to house the person. The court shall direct the director of the
29 department of mental health to have the person examined by a psychiatrist or psychologist as
30 defined in section 632.005 who was not a member of the multidisciplinary team that previously
31 reviewed the person's records. In addition, such person may be examined by a consenting
32 psychiatrist or psychologist of the person's choice at the person's own expense. Any
33 examination shall be conducted in the facility in which the person is confined. Any
34 examinations ordered shall be made at such time and under such conditions as the court deems
35 proper; except that, if the order directs the director of the department of mental health to have
36 the person examined, the director shall determine the time, place and conditions under which the

38 examination shall be authorized to interview family and associates of the person being
39 examined, as well as victims and witnesses of the person's offense or offenses, for use in the
40 examination unless the court for good cause orders otherwise. The psychiatrist or psychologist
41 shall have access to all materials provided to and considered by the multidisciplinary team and

16 sections 491.675 to 491.705.
632.495. 1. The court or jury shall determine whether, by clear and convincing
2 evidence, the person is a sexually violent predator. If such determination that the person is a

4 of such jury. Any determination as to whether a person is a sexually violent predator may be
5 appealed.
6 2. If the court or jury determines that the person is a sexually violent predator, the person

29 meet the definition of a sexually violent predator or for the confinement of persons ordered
30 to the department of mental health after a finding of probable cause under section 632.489,
31 provided the department of corrections has necessary space and services available and the
CCS SS SCS HCS HBs 2637 & 3155 159
32 director of the department of corrections has agreed to provide such confinement through

35 housed and managed separately from offenders in the custody of the department of corrections,
36 and except for occasional instances of supervised incidental contact, shall be segregated from

48 health after a finding of probable cause under section 632.489. Such persons who are in the
49 confinement of a county jail pursuant to a contract agreement shall be housed and managed
50 separately from offenders in the custody of the county jail, and except for occasional instances
51 of supervised incidental contact, shall be segregated from such offenders.

53 agreement with the department of corrections for the control and care, including health
54 care services, of persons committed to the department of mental health by the court as a
55 sexually violent predator, provided the department of corrections has necessary space and
56 services available and the director of the department of corrections has agreed to provide
57 such control and care through an interagency agreement with the department of mental
58 health. Such persons who are in the control and care of the department of corrections
59 under an interagency agreement shall be housed and managed separately from offenders
60 in the custody of the department of corrections, and except for occasional instances of
61 supervised incidental contact, shall be segregated from such offenders. If the department
62 of mental health and the department of corrections have entered into an interagency
63 agreement as provided in this subsection, the department of corrections is authorized to

74 mental health after a finding of probable cause under section 632.489, and persons
75 committed for control, care, and treatment by the department of mental health under
76 sections 632.480 to 632.513.
77 8. If the court or jury is not satisfied by clear and convincing evidence that the person
78 is a sexually violent predator, the court shall direct the person's release.
79 [7.] 9. Upon a mistrial, the court shall direct that the person be held at an appropriate

82 health shall determine the appropriate secure facility to house the person. Any subsequent trial
83 following a mistrial shall be held within ninety days of the previous trial, unless such subsequent
84 trial is continued as provided in section 632.492.
632.504. Nothing in sections 632.480 to 632.513 shall prohibit a person from filing a
2 petition for release pursuant to sections 632.480 to 632.513. However, if a person has previously
3 filed a petition for release without the [director's] director of the department of mental
4 health's approval and the court determined either upon review of the petition or following a
5 hearing that the petitioner's petition was frivolous or that the petitioner's condition had not so
6 changed that the person was safe to be at large, then the court shall deny the subsequent petition
7 unless the petition contains facts upon which a court could find the condition of the petitioner
8 had so changed that a hearing was warranted. Upon receipt of a first or subsequent petition from
9 committed persons without the director's approval, the court shall endeavor whenever possible
10 to review the petition and determine if the petition is based upon frivolous grounds and if so
11 shall deny the petition without a hearing.

8 the conditions of the assisted outpatient treatment.
632.600. 1. The court order for assisted outpatient treatment shall expire at the end

5 shall file a petition for continued assisted outpatient treatment before the expiration of the
6 involuntary assisted outpatient treatment ordered by the court.
7 2. The procedure for obtaining an extension shall be the same as for obtaining the
8 original order, except that the thirty-six-month time period provided in paragraph (b) of

5 immediately.
6 2. If it comes to the attention of the court that a respondent subject to an order of

5 remain in force and effect as far as they are capable of being carried into execution as
6 intended by the general assembly. The general assembly hereby declares that it would
7 have passed each section, provision, clause, phrase, or word thereof, irrespective of the fact
