Appropriates money for the expenses, grants, refunds, and distributions of the Department of Corrections

HB 2009 allocates specific funding for Missouri's Department of Corrections (DOC) for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, directly affecting DOC operations, staff, and programs. It provides $6.5 million for Family Support Services, $6.96 million for Offender Reentry Programs (including job coaching for inmates and recidivism reduction), $4.1 million for Professional Standards, and $6 million for Community Treatment services, all drawn from state General Revenue or specific DOC funds. The bill also funds a foster care dog program ($75,000) and grants for private contractors to support reentry services. This is a routine fiscal appropriation bill with no policy changes, solely directing state funds to existing DOC functions and programs.
