Bill > HB2669

This bill raises the minimum daily reimbursement amount the state of Missouri pays to counties and cities for housing individuals sentenced to imprisonment in a correctional center, increasing it from $37.50 to $40 per day per offender. This "jail reimbursement" is a per diem payment made by the state for time spent in custody, and it applies in various situations, including when a person is sentenced to imprisonment, has their probation or parole revoked, or is detained under specific legal provisions. The bill also clarifies that the Department of Corrections is responsible for reviewing and approving these reimbursement claims, and that counties and cities have up to two years to submit their claims for reimbursement.
