HB 1127 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to credit for time served

HB 1127 standardizes how inmates receive credit toward their sentences for time spent in custody *before* sentencing due to the same offense. It requires sheriffs to certify pre-sentence custody time, ensures this credit applies retroactively to cases before August 28, 2023 (where credit was previously denied), and limits credit to the actual days served. This directly affects all individuals sentenced to imprisonment in this state, including those serving sentences for past offenses who were not previously granted full credit. The bill clarifies that credit applies regardless of when the offense occurred, as long as custody was related to that offense.
