Missouri SB1189 modifies provisions for juvenile detention centers by repealing and enacting new sections. It allows counties to establish places of detention for children, with specific provisions for funding through a sales tax. The bill outlines the process for imposing the sales tax, including voter approval and the creation of a trust fund. It also details the duties of county commissions and circuit judges in establishing and governing these detention centers. The bill emphasizes the separation of detained children from adults and the approximation of care to that of good homes.
