Bill > HB1252

This bill creates new reporting requirements for prosecuting and circuit attorneys in Missouri, mandating that each attorney's office submit an annual report by March 1st to the governor and attorney general, which will be publicly accessible. The report must include detailed, anonymized data about case handling for the previous year, covering three main areas: intake processes (such as the number of arrests, referrals accepted for prosecution, and cases referred to diversion programs), case disposals (including how cases are resolved through diversion, plea agreements, dismissals, and trials), and sentencing dispositions (detailing the number of people sentenced to incarceration, county jail, state correctional centers, and probation). The attorney general is tasked with compiling these individual reports into a statewide, uniform report that will be sortable by offense and jurisdiction, and distributed to key state legislative leaders. Prosecutors must also assist the attorney general by providing additional or clarifying information as requested, ensuring transparency in the criminal justice system's case processing and outcomes.
