HB 2204 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Allows for the parole board to grant parole with lifetime supervision to certain persons who were under twenty years of age at the time an offense was committed

This bill allows the parole board to consider granting parole with lifetime supervision to certain offenders who were under twenty years old when they committed their crime. To qualify, an inmate must have served at least thirty years in prison, not have a prior dangerous felony conviction, and demonstrate reasonable efforts toward rehabilitation. Before parole is granted, officials must conduct a detailed assessment that reviews the offender's risk factors, disciplinary history, and community support, including statements from at least twenty local residents. If approved, the individual would be released but remain under the Division of Probation and Parole's supervision for their entire life, which includes mandatory electronic monitoring and regular meetings with a parole officer. The bill also requires the parole board to create specific rules for how this supervision and monitoring will be carried out.
