Rep. Steven Roberts, St. Louis Legislator: House Bill 2526


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.
