Missouri HB2836 modifies sentencing provisions by repealing and replacing section 558.019, RSMo. The bill sets specific minimum prison terms for offenders based on their prior convictions and the nature of their offenses. It also establishes a sentencing advisory commission to study sentencing practices and recommend alternative sentences. The commission will focus on disparities in sentencing among economic and social classes and explore options like prison work programs and home-based incarceration.
