Rep. Steven Roberts of St. Louis sponsored House Bill 2526 during the 2018 legislative session
of the Missouri’s General Assembly.
Steven Roberts Jr. explains that House Bill
2526 would remove the requirement that certain defendants serve out specified
minimum sentences upon conviction (i.e., mandatory minimum sentences).
In addition to the elimination of mandatory
minimum sentences, St. Louis Rep. Steve Roberts explains that House Bill 2526
specifies that any offender who meets certain qualifications would be eligible
for a parole hearing (excluding those found guilty of first-degree murder or
certain sexual offenses).
The bill was referred to the House Corrections and
Public Institutions Committee during the 2018 legislative session.
