Modifies provisions relating to minimum sentences

HB 2836 modifies minimum prison sentence requirements for Missouri offenders. It sets minimum terms based on prior prison commitments: 40% for one prior commitment (or until age 60, with a minimum 20% served), 50% for two prior commitments (minimum 30% served), and 80% for three or more prior commitments (minimum 30% served). Dangerous felony offenders must serve 85% of their sentence. The bill also establishes a Sentencing Advisory Commission to study sentencing disparities and alternatives, applying only to offenses committed after August 28, 2019.
