Establishes parole hearing provisions for certain offenders committed as adolescents.
Missouri HB2678 establishes provisions for parole hearings for certain offenders committed as adolescents. An offender committed as an adolescent may petition for a parole hearing, which the board must grant if requirements are met. The board considers factors such as the offender's mental maturity, ability to make correct decisions, diminished culpability, subsequent growth, increased maturity, and mental health report. The board cannot parole the offender if there is a substantial risk of reoffending.
