HB 773 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to minimum sentences

HB 773 modifies Missouri's minimum prison terms for certain felony offenders. It requires offenders with one prior prison commitment to serve at least 40% of their sentence (or until age 70, whichever comes first) before parole eligibility, increasing to 50% for two prior commitments and 80% for three or more. Dangerous felony convictions (per §556.061) require an 85% minimum sentence. The bill also creates a sentencing advisory commission to study sentencing disparities and alternative programs, though this is a secondary provision. The changes apply specifically to listed felony offenses and do not affect probation rules or certain offenses like domestic assault.
