Modifies provisions relating to public safety

Summary

The bill lets people convicted of a controlled‑substance felony keep SNAP benefits if they are in or have completed approved treatment, comply with court and parole requirements, stay drug‑free for a year, and pass voluntary drug tests. It also authorizes Missouri corrections to award up to 54 days of good‑time credit per year for exemplary behavior and earned‑time credit for participation in approved rehabilitation, education, and work programs, reducing inmates' sentences. These changes aim to encourage recovery and rehabilitation while maintaining public‑safety standards.
