This bill repeals the Missouri Incarceration Reimbursement Act.
The Missouri Incarceration Reimbursement Act is a statutory process in which the State of Missouri may seek to recover up to 10% of the cost to house an offender for up to two years during the offender's stay in a Department of Corrections institution. The State may seize up to 90% of the value of an offender's assets in order to secure this reimbursement.
Under this bill, the State would no longer be able to seize an offender's assets in order to recover the costs to house the offender.
