HB 389 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to minimum prison terms

HB 389 modifies minimum prison terms for certain felony offenders in Missouri. It requires non-dangerous felony offenders with no prior prison commitments to serve 75% of their sentence before parole eligibility, while those with prior unrelated commitments must serve 80%. Dangerous felony offenders (as defined in § 556.061) must serve 85% of their sentence. The bill also creates a Sentencing Advisory Commission to study sentencing disparities and alternatives. It applies to offenders convicted of specific felonies listed in the bill, excluding those convicted before 2025 who remain eligible for parole under prior rules.
