Raises the minimum jail reimbursement amount

Summary

The bill would require the Missouri Department of Corrections to pay counties and independent cities up to $40 per day for each person they house in jail, for a range of sentencing and detention situations. Local sheriffs or city officials would submit claims within two years, and the department would review and approve payments. It aims to boost funding to local jurisdictions that bear the cost of incarceration.
