HB 756 - This act creates a prisoner re-entry program within the Department of Corrections for prisoners who are not on parole or conditional release and who are moving to the City of St. Louis upon release. Money for the program is to be appropriated to the Department of Corrections, which then transfers the money to the city. The city must issue a request for proposals for re-entry services. The city and the contractor are jointly responsible to the Department of Corrections to ensure the services are provided and must provide all data and records to the department necessary to oversee and measure the effectiveness of the program.
This act is substantially similar to a provision truly agreed to and finally passed in SCS/HB 301 (2013).
