Bill > HB1503

This bill repeals four specific sections (559.301, 559.311, 559.321, and 559.331) of Missouri Revised Statutes that currently establish and govern boards of paroles in judicial circuits composed of a single county of the second class. These sections currently define how parole boards are formed, typically consisting of circuit court judges, with provisions for their meeting frequency, record-keeping, and powers related to granting, modifying, or revoking paroles. By removing these statutory provisions, the bill effectively eliminates the existing structure for parole boards in these specific judicial circuits, which likely means that parole-related responsibilities will be handled through alternative mechanisms or by different judicial entities. The repeal suggests a potential restructuring or consolidation of parole board functions in certain Missouri counties, though the specific rationale for this change is not provided in the bill text.
