HB 406 -- Probation and Parole Co-Sponsors: Kelly (47), Ostmann, Fraser, Long, Williams, Riback Wilson (25) This bill expands the duties of the Board of Probation and Parole. The board is required to review thoroughly the case history of all offenders who have no possibility of parole. Within 30 days of the review, the board will prepare a report to the Governor with the recommendation to either grant or deny executive clemency, thereby making the offender eligible for parole after serving 20 years of his or her sentence. Offenders released will remain under the supervision of the board for at least 5 years. The bill establishes criteria to be used by the board when conducting its reviews and making recommendations. Offender reviews and recommendations must be made every 3 years.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
