This bill repeals the Interstate Compact for Supervision of Parolees and Probationers and modifies the Interstate Compact for Supervision of Adult Offenders on probation or parole from other states.
COST AND EXPENSES OF EXTRADITION (Section 548.241, RSMo)
Currently, all necessary and proper expenses for the return of a person to Missouri under the Interstate Compact for the Supervision of Parolees and Probationers is paid out of the State Treasury. This bill repeals this provision and provides that any person being returned to Missouri under this Compact will be paid out of either the "Missouri State Compact Fund" or the State Treasury.
CONDITIONS OF PROBATION (Section 589.564)
The bill specifies that a circuit court for the jurisdiction in which the probationer is under supervision is authorized to add any condition, upon a petition from the state, to a term of probation for an offender supervised in Missouri for a term of probation ordered by another state. The Division of Probation and Parole within the Department of Correction may submit violation reports to the prosecuting attorney or circuit attorney asking the court to add a condition or sanction to a term of supervision. However, the Division does not have the authorization to reduce, extend, or revoke a term of parole.
MISSOURI INTERSTATE COMPACT FUND (Section 589.565)
The bill specifies that a Missouri probationer or parolee seeking transfer of his or her supervision under the Interstate Compact for Adult Offender Supervision must pay a $175 fee for each application, unless waived by the Compact Commissioner for an undue economic burden on the offender.
The bill establishes the "Missouri Interstate Compact Fund" and all fees collected by the Commissioners shall be paid to the Fund. The money in the fund must be used for the sole benefit of the Department of Corrections as specified in the bill.
INTERSTATE COMPACT FOR THE SUPERVISION OF PAROLEES (Section 217.810)
The bill repeals the provisions of the "Interstate Compact for the Supervision of Parolees and Probation" which permits the Governor to enter into an interstate compact with contracting states to allow people convicted of an offense and placed on probation or released on parole to reside in any other state that is party to the compact.
This bill is similar to HB 2486 (2020).
