HB 2683 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Changes the laws regarding incarceration costs by requiring the state to reimburse jails for only the costs of incarceration after conviction

HB 2683 updates how the state reimburses counties for the cost of holding prisoners before a conviction is final. The bill requires local officials to track the number of days a prisoner spends in jail or city facilities and then bill the state for those specific post-conviction costs at a set daily rate. It establishes a maximum daily reimbursement amount that increases over time, starting at $17 per day and rising to $100 per day by 1997, subject to available funding. Additionally, the law allows judges to propose specific pretrial supervision expenses for counties that could be covered by the state, provided local leaders agree to the plan.
