CCS HCS SB 435 -- SEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATORS AND THE DIVISION OF
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES

This bill authorizes the Department of Mental Health to enter
into a contract agreement with one or more county jails in this
state for the confinement of a person ordered to the department
after a determination by a court that he or she may meet the
definition of a sexually violent predator or for the confinement
of a person ordered to the department after a finding of probable
cause under Section 632.489, RSMo.  These individuals must be
housed and managed separately from offenders in the custody of
the county jail.

The Division of Developmental Disabilities within the department
is allowed to contract directly with providers of targeted case
management services for clients of the division in a defined
region that has not established a local developmental disability
services board, commonly known as a Senate Bill 40 board.
