HB 1144 -- Drug Offenses

Sponsor:  Stevenson

This bill requires the Department of Corrections to design and
implement an intensive long-term treatment program for any
chronic nonviolent offender with serious substance abuse
addictions who is not eligible for probation or parole and has
pled guilty to or been found guilty of two prior felonies or
completed a post-conviction drug treatment program pursuant to
Section 217.785 or 559.115, RSMo, for an offense involving
methamphetamine or a methamphetamine precursor drug and who has
subsequently pled guilty to or been found guilty of violating any
provision in Chapter 195 or violated the terms of probation and
whose controlled substance abuse was a precipitating or
contributing factor in the probation violation.  An offender's
first incarceration in a program will not be considered a prior
prison commitment for the purposes of calculating the minimum
prison term the offender will be required to serve.  An offender
must serve a minimum of 120 days' imprisonment in the department
before being eligible for parole or probation.
