Modifies provisions relating to minimum sentences

Summary

The measure changes Missouri’s sentencing rules by requiring offenders with prior prison commitments to serve a larger share of their sentences, with tougher minimums for repeat and dangerous felonies. It also creates an eleven‑member sentencing advisory commission to study sentencing disparities, alternative sanctions, and related issues. The bill seeks to make sentencing more consistent but it failed to pass.
