HB 1721 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to reporting requirements of prosecuting attorneys

HB 1721 requires prosecuting and circuit attorneys to submit standardized, annual reports on case handling to the governor, attorney general, and legislative committees by March 1st each year. The reports must include non-personally identifying data broken down by offense category, covering intake (arrests, referrals, dismissals), dispositions (diversion, pleas, dismissals), and sentencing (incarceration, probation, jail terms). These reports must be made publicly available upon request and help compile uniform data for oversight. The bill directly affects local prosecutors' offices by mandating specific data collection and reporting formats. It aims to increase transparency in how criminal cases are processed across jurisdictions.
