Bill > HB1721

This bill requires prosecuting and circuit attorneys across Missouri to create and submit detailed annual reports to the governor and attorney general by March 1st each year, which will be publicly accessible. The reports must include comprehensive, non-personally identifying data about case handling, broken down by offense categories, covering three main areas: intake processes (such as the number of arrests, referrals accepted for prosecution, and cases diverted or dismissed), 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 will then compile these individual reports into a statewide report that will be made publicly available and distributed to key legislative leaders, specifically the governor, the speaker of the house of representatives, and the president pro tempore of the senate. Each prosecuting and circuit attorney must cooperate with the attorney general's requests for additional or clarifying information to ensure a uniform and comprehensive report.
