FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator (CTS) would not
expect an impact on the budget of the judiciary. CTS assumes the proposal
could result in a slight impact on local jail populations.
Officials from the Office of Prosecution Services, the Office of the State
Public Defender, the Office of the Attorney General, the Office of
Administration - Division of Accounting, the Department of Corrections, and
the Missouri Sheriffs' Association assume this proposal would have no fiscal
impact on their agencies.
In response to a similar proposal in a prior session, officials from the
County of Jackson and the County of St. Louis stated that they would expect
only a minimal fiscal impact to their respective budgets.
In response to a similar proposal in a prior session, officials from the City
of Kansas City stated they would have no fiscal impact on their budget.
Officials from the City of St. Louis - Budget Division did not respond to
Oversight's request for a fiscal impact statement.
Oversight assumes that the fiscal impact on local jails would be minimal and
could be absorbed with existing resources.

DESCRIPTION
The proposal would increase the amount of time an arrested person may be held
in custody, without a warrant, from 20 to 24 hours. Within 48 hours of a
criminal charge being filed, the court shall set the conditions for such
person's release. If the person cannot meet such conditions, a warrant must
be issued by the first business day after the charge was filed.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
