Heavenly Father, You have said, "A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered." Help us to remain calm in the midst of adversity and those who would use fewer words with greater impact.

Lord God, in these final days of the session, we look to You for closure and pray a successful end. We pray that what was accomplished here this year would have long-term consequences for the restored health and prosperity of our state. Our hope is that we served well the people of this great state.

As we transition back to family and private life, may we be aware in the coming days and months, that what we say is tremendously powerful as well as what we don't say. May our greatest investment be in truth, wisdom, discipline and good sense, and may we never part with them.

Now may the grace of our Lord and the love of God be with us all. To You be the glory, both now and forever. In the name of Your Son we pray. Amen.

393.1003. 1. Notwithstanding any provisions of chapter 386, RSMo, and this chapter to the contrary, as of August 28, 2003, a water corporation providing water service in a county with a charter form of government and with more than one million inhabitants may file a petition and proposed rate schedules with the commission to establish or change ISRS rate schedules that will allow for the adjustment of the water corporation's rates and charges to provide for the recovery of costs for eligible infrastructure system replacements made in such county with a charter form of government and with more than one million inhabitants; provided that an ISRS, on an annualized basis, must produce ISRS revenues of at least one million dollars but not in excess of ten percent of the water corporation's base revenue level approved by the commission in the water corporation's most recent general rate proceeding. An ISRS and any future changes thereto shall be calculated and implemented in accordance with the provisions of sections 393.1000 to 393.1006. ISRS revenues shall be subject to refund based upon a finding and order of the commission, to the extent provided in subsections 5 and 8 of section 393.1006.

2.

3. In no event shall a water corporation collect an ISRS for a period exceeding three years unless the water corporation has filed for or is the subject of a new general rate proceeding; provided that the ISRS may be collected until the effective date of new rate schedules established as a result of the new general rate proceeding, or until the subject general rate proceeding is otherwise decided or dismissed by issuance of a commission order without new rates being established.

393.1006. 1.

(2) Upon the filing of a petition, and any associated rate schedules, seeking to establish or change an ISRS, the commission shall publish notice of the filing.

2. (1) When a petition, along with any associated proposed rate schedules, is filed pursuant to the provisions of sections 393.1000 to 393.1006, the commission shall conduct an examination of the proposed ISRS.

(2) The staff of the commission may examine information of the water corporation to confirm that the underlying costs are in accordance with the provisions of sections 393.1000 to 393.1006, and to confirm proper calculation of the proposed charge, and may submit a report regarding its examination to the commission not later than sixty days after the petition is filed. No other revenue requirement or ratemaking issues shall be examined in consideration of the petition or associated proposed rate schedules filed pursuant to the provisions of sections 393.1000 to 393.1006.

(3) The commission may hold a hearing on the petition and any associated rate schedules and shall issue an order to become effective not later than one hundred twenty days after the petition is filed.

(4) If the commission finds that a petition complies with the requirements of sections 393.1000 to 393.1006, the commission shall enter an order authorizing the water corporation to impose an ISRS that is sufficient to recover appropriate pretax revenues, as determined by the commission pursuant to the provisions of sections 393.1000 to 393.1006.

3. A water corporation may effectuate a change in its rate pursuant to this section no more often than two times every twelve months.

4. In determining the appropriate pretax revenues, the commission shall consider only the following factors:

(2) The water corporation's actual regulatory capital structure as determined during the most recent general rate proceeding of the water corporation;

(3) The actual cost rates for the water corporation's debt and preferred stock as determined during the most recent general rate proceeding of the water corporation;

(4) The water corporation's cost of common equity as determined during the most recent general rate proceeding of the water corporation;

(5) The current property tax rate or rates applicable to the eligible infrastructure system replacements;

(6) The current depreciation rates applicable to the eligible infrastructure system replacements;

(7) In the event information called for in subdivisions (2), (3), and (4) is unavailable and the commission is not provided with such information on an agreed-upon basis, the commission shall refer to the testimony submitted during the most recent general rate proceeding of the water corporation and use, in lieu of any such unavailable information, the recommended capital structure, recommended cost rates for debt and preferred stock, and recommended cost of common equity that would produce the average weighted cost of capital based upon the various recommendations contained in such testimony.

5. (1) An ISRS shall be calculated based upon the amount of ISRS costs that are eligible for recovery during the period in which the surcharge will be in effect and upon the applicable customer class billing determinants utilized in designing the water corporation's customer rates in its most recent general rate proceeding. The commission shall, however, only allow such surcharges to apply to classes of customers receiving a benefit from the subject water utility plant projects or shall prorate the surcharge according to the benefit received by each class of customers; provided that the ISRS shall be applied in a manner consistent with the customer class cost-of-service study recognized by the commission in the water corporation's most recent general rate proceeding, if applicable, and with the rate design methodology utilized to develop the water corporation's rates resulting from its most recent general rate proceeding.

(2) At the end of each twelve-month calendar period that an ISRS is in effect, the water corporation shall reconcile the differences between the revenues resulting from an ISRS and the appropriate pretax revenues as found by the commission for that period and shall submit the reconciliation and a proposed ISRS adjustment to the commission for approval to recover or refund the difference, as appropriate, through adjustment of an ISRS.

6. (1) A water corporation that has implemented an ISRS pursuant to the provisions of sections 393.1000 to 393.1006 shall file revised rate schedules to reset the ISRS to zero when new base rates and charges become effective for the water corporation following a commission order establishing customer rates in a general rate proceeding that incorporates in the utility's base rates subject to subsections 8 and 9 of this section eligible costs previously reflected in an ISRS.

(2) Upon the inclusion in a water corporation's base rates subject to subsections 8 and 9 of this section of eligible costs previously reflected in an ISRS, the water corporation shall immediately thereafter reconcile any previously unreconciled ISRS revenues as necessary to ensure that revenues resulting from the ISRS match as closely as possible the appropriate pretax revenues as found by the commission for that period.

7. A water corporation's filing of a petition to establish or change an ISRS pursuant to the provisions of sections 393.1000 to 393.1006 shall not be considered a request for a general increase in the water corporation's base rates and charges.

8. Commission approval of a petition, and any associated rate schedules, to establish or change an ISRS pursuant to the provisions of sections 393.1000 to 393.1006 shall in no way be binding upon the commission in determining the ratemaking treatment to be applied to eligible infrastructure system replacements during a subsequent general rate proceeding when the commission may undertake to review the prudence of such costs. In the event the commission disallows, during a subsequent general rate proceeding, recovery of costs associated with eligible infrastructure system replacements previously included in an ISRS, the water corporation shall offset its ISRS in the future as necessary to recognize and account for any such overcollections.

9. Nothing contained in sections 393.1000 to 393.1006 shall be construed to impair in any way the authority of the commission to review the reasonableness of the rates or charges of a water corporation, including review of the prudence of eligible infrastructure system replacements made by a water corporation, pursuant to the provisions of section 386.390 RSMo.

10. The commission shall have authority to promulgate rules for the implementation of sections 393.1000 to 393.1006, but only to the extent such rules are consistent with, and do not delay the implementation of, the provisions of sections 393.1000 to 393.1006. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, RSMo, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536, RSMo, and, if applicable, section 536.028, RSMo. This section and chapter 536, RSMo, are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536, RSMo, to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2003, shall be invalid and void.

(1) “Appropriate pretax revenues”, the revenues necessary to produce net operating income equal to:

(a) The gas corporation's weighted cost of capital multiplied by the net original cost of eligible infrastructure system replacements, including recognition of accumulated deferred income taxes and accumulated depreciation associated with eligible infrastructure system replacements which are included in a currently effective ISRS; and

(b) Recover state, federal, and local income or excise taxes applicable to such income; and

(3) “Eligible infrastructure system replacements”, gas utility plant projects that:

(a) Do not increase revenues by directly connecting the infrastructure replacement to new customers;

(4) “Gas corporation”, every corporation, company, association, joint stock company or association, partnership and person, their lessees, trustees or receivers appointed by any court whatsoever, owning, operating, controlling, or managing any gas plant operating for public use under privilege, license, or franchise now or hereafter granted by the state or any political subdivision, county, or municipality thereof as defined in section 386.020, RSMo;

(a) Mains, valves, service lines, regulator stations, vaults, and other pipeline system components installed to comply with state or federal safety requirements as replacements for existing facilities that have worn out or are in deteriorated condition;

(7) “ISRS costs”, depreciation expense and property taxes that will be due within twelve months of the ISRS filing;

(8) “ISRS revenues”, revenues produced through an ISRS exclusive of revenues from all other rates and charges.

393.1012. 1. Notwithstanding any provisions of chapter 386, RSMo, and this chapter to the contrary, beginning August 28, 2003, a gas corporation providing gas service may file a petition and proposed rate schedules with the commission to establish or change ISRS rate schedules that will allow for the adjustment of the gas corporation's rates and charges to provide for the recovery of costs for eligible infrastructure system replacements. The commission may not approve an ISRS to the extent it would produce total annualized ISRS revenues below the lesser of one million dollars or one-half of one percent of the gas corporation's base revenue level approved by the commission in the gas corporation's most recent general rate proceeding. The commission may not approve an ISRS to the extent it would produce total annualized ISRS revenues exceeding ten percent of the gas corporation's base revenue level approved by the commission in the gas corporation's most recent general rate proceeding. An ISRS and any future changes thereto shall be calculated and implemented in accordance with the provisions of sections 393.1009 to 393.1015. ISRS revenues shall be subject to a refund based upon a finding and order of the commission to the extent provided in subsections 5 and 8 of section 393.1009.

2. The commission shall not approve an ISRS for any gas corporation that has not had a general rate proceeding decided or dismissed by issuance of a commission order within the past three years, unless the gas corporation has filed for or is the subject of a new general rate proceeding.

3. In no event shall a gas corporation collect an ISRS for a period exceeding three years unless the gas corporation has filed for or is the subject of a new general rate proceeding; provided that the ISRS may be collected until the effective date of new rate schedules established as a result of the new general rate proceeding, or until the subject general rate proceeding is otherwise decided or dismissed by issuance of a commission order without new rates being established.

393.1015. 1. (1) At the time that a gas corporation files a petition with the commission seeking the establish or change an ISRS, it shall submit proposed ISRS rate schedules and its supporting documentation regarding the calculation of the proposed ISRS with the petition, and shall serve the office of the public counsel with a copy of its petition, its proposed rate schedules, and its supporting documentation.

2. (1) When a petition, along with any associated proposed rate schedules, is filed pursuant to the provisions of sections 393.1009 to 393.1015, the commission shall conduct an examination of the proposed ISRS.

(2) The staff of the commission may examine information of the gas corporation to confirm that the underlying costs are in accordance with the provisions of sections 393.1009 to 393.1015, and to confirm proper calculation of the proposed charge, and may submit a report regarding its examination to the commission not later than sixty days after the petition is filed. No other revenue requirement or ratemaking issues may be examined in consideration of the petition or associated proposed rate schedules filed pursuant to the provisions of sections 393.1009 to 393.1015.

(4) If the commission finds that a petition complies with the requirements of sections 393.1009 to 393.1015, the commission shall enter an order authorizing the corporation to impose an ISRS that is sufficient to recover appropriate pretax revenue, as determined by the commission pursuant to the provisions of sections 393.1009 to 393.1015.

3. A gas corporation may effectuate a change in its rate pursuant to the provisions of this section no more often than two times every twelve months.

4. In determining the appropriate pretax revenue, the commission shall consider only the following factors:

(2) The gas corporation's actual regulatory capital structure as determined during the most recent general rate proceeding of the gas corporation;

(3) The actual cost rates for the gas corporation's debt and preferred stock as determined during the most recent general rate proceeding of the gas corporation;

(4) The gas corporation's cost of common equity as determined during the most recent general rate proceeding of the gas corporation;

(5) The current property tax rate or rates applicable to the eligible infrastructure system replacements;

(6) The current depreciation rates applicable to the eligible infrastructure system replacements; and

(7) In the event information pursuant to subdivisions (2), (3), and (4) of this subsection is unavailable and the commission is not provided with such information on an agreed upon basis, the commission shall refer to the testimony submitted during the most recent general rate proceeding of the gas corporation and use, in lieu of any such unavailable information, the recommended capital structure, recommended cost rates for debt and preferred stock, and recommended cost of common equity that would produce the average weighted cost of capital based upon the various recommendations contained in such testimony.

5. (1) The monthly ISRS charge may be calculated based on a reasonable estimate of billing units in the period in which the charge will be in effect, which shall be conclusively established by dividing the appropriate pretax revenues by the customer numbers reported by the gas corporation in the annual report it most recently filed with the commission pursuant to subdivision (6) of section 393.140, and then further dividing this quotient by twelve. Provided, however, that the monthly ISRS may vary according to customer class and may be calculated based on customer numbers as determined during the most recent general rate proceeding of the gas corporation so long as the monthly ISRS for each customer class maintains a proportional relationship equivalent to the proportional relationship of the monthly customer charge for each customer class.

(2) At the end of each twelve month calendar period the ISRS is in effect, the gas corporation shall reconcile the differences between the revenues resulting from an ISRS and the appropriate pretax revenues as found by the commission for that period and shall submit the reconciliation and a proposed ISRS adjustment to the commission for approval to recover or refund the difference, as appropriate, through adjustments of an ISRS charge.

6. (1) A gas corporation that has implemented an ISRS pursuant to the provisions of sections 393.1009 to 393.1015 shall file revised rate schedules to reset the ISRS to zero when new base rates and charges become effective for the gas corporation following a commission order establishing customer rates in a general rate proceeding that incorporates in the utility's base rates subject to subsections 8 and 9 of this section eligible costs previously reflected in an ISRS.

(2) Upon the inclusion in a gas corporation's base rates subject to subsections 8 and 9 of this section of eligible costs previously reflected in an ISRS, the gas corporation shall immediately thereafter reconcile any previously unreconciled ISRS revenues as necessary to ensure that revenues resulting from the ISRS match as closely as possible the appropriate pretax revenues as found by the commission for that period.

7. A gas corporation's filing of a petition or change an ISRS pursuant to the provisions of sections 393.1009 to 393.1015 shall not be considered a request for a general increase in the gas corporation's base rates and charges.

8. Commission approval of a petition, and any associated rate schedules, to establish or change an ISRS pursuant to the provisions of sections 393.1009 to 393.1015 shall in no way be binding upon the commission in determining the ratemaking treatment to be applied to eligible infrastructure system replacements during a subsequent general rate proceeding when the commission may undertake to review the prudence of such costs. In the event the commission disallows, during a subsequent general rate proceeding, recovery of costs associated with eligible infrastructure system replacements previously included in an ISRS, the gas corporation shall offset its ISRS in the future as necessary to recognize and account for any such overcollections.

9. Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting the authority of the commission to review and consider infrastructure system replacement costs along with other costs during any general rate proceeding of any gas corporation.

10. Nothing contained in sections 393.1009 to 393.1015 shall be construed to impair in any way the authority of the commission to review the reasonableness of the rates or charges of a gas corporation, including review of the prudence of eligible infrastructure system replacements made by a gas corporation, pursuant to the provisions of section 386.390, RSMo.

11. The commission shall have authority to promulgate rules for the implementation of sections 393.1009 to 393.1015, but only to the extent such rules are consistent with, and do not delay the implementation of, the provisions of sections 393.1009 to 393.1015. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, RSMo, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536, RSMo, and, if applicable, section 536.028, RSMo. This section and chapter 536, RSMo, are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536, RSMo, to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2003, shall be invalid and void.”; and

AMEND Senate Substitute for House Bill No. 198, Page 10, Section 217.343, Line 29 of said page, by inserting after all of said line the following:

“217.362. 1. The department of corrections shall design and implement an intensive long-term program for the treatment of chronic nonviolent offenders with serious substance abuse addictions who have not pleaded guilty to or been convicted of a dangerous felony as defined in section 556.061, RSMo.

2. Prior to sentencing, any judge considering an offender for this program shall notify the department. The potential candidate for the program shall be screened by the department to determine eligibility. The department shall, by regulation, establish eligibility criteria and inform the court of such criteria. The department shall notify the court as to the offender's eligibility and the availability of space in the program. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, except as provided for in section 558.019, RSMo, if an offender is eligible and there is adequate space, the court may sentence a person to the program which shall consist of institutional drug or alcohol treatment for a period of at least twelve and no more than twenty-four months, as well as a term of incarceration. The department shall determine the nature, intensity, duration, and completion criteria of the education, treatment, and aftercare portions of any program services provided. Execution of the offender's term of incarceration shall be suspended pending completion of said program. Allocation of space in the program may be distributed by the department in proportion to drug arrest patterns in the state. If the court is advised that an offender is not eligible or that there is no space available, the court shall consider other authorized dispositions.

3. [Notwithstanding any other provision of the law to the contrary, upon successful completion of the program, the board of probation and parole may advise the sentencing court of the eligibility of the individual for probation. The original sentencing court shall hold a hearing to make a determination as to the fitness of the offender to be placed on probation. The court shall follow the recommendation of the board unless the court makes a determination that such a placement would be an abuse of discretion. If an offender successfully completes the program before the end of the twenty-four-month period, the department may petition the court and request that probation be granted immediately.] Upon successful completion of the program, the board of probation and parole shall advise the sentencing court of an offender's probationary release date thirty days prior to release. If the court determines that probation is not appropriate the court may order the execution of the offender's sentence.

4. If it is determined by the department that the offender has not successfully completed the program, or that the offender is not cooperatively participating in the program, the offender shall be removed from the program and the court shall be advised. Failure of an offender to complete the program shall cause the offender to serve the sentence prescribed by the court and void the right to be considered for probation on this sentence.

5. An offender's first incarceration in a department of corrections program pursuant to this section prior to release on probation shall not be considered a previous prison commitment for the purpose of determining a minimum prison term pursuant to the provisions of section 558.019, RSMo.”; and

Further amend said bill, Page 11, Section 217.380, Line 25 of said page, by inserting after all of said line the following:

“217.541. 1. The department shall by rule establish a program of house arrest. The director or his designee may extend the limits of confinement of offenders serving sentences for class C or D felonies who have [one year] two years or less remaining prior to release on parole, conditional release, or discharge to participate in the house arrest program.

2. The offender referred to the house arrest program shall remain in the custody of the department and shall be subject to rules and regulations of the department pertaining to offenders of the department until released on parole or conditional release by the state board of probation and parole.

3. The department shall require the offender to participate in work or educational or vocational programs and other activities that may be necessary to the supervision and treatment of the offender.

4. An offender released to house arrest shall be authorized to leave his place of residence only for the purpose and time necessary to participate in the program and activities authorized in subsection 3 of this section.

5. The board of probation and parole shall supervise every offender released to the house arrest program and shall verify compliance with the requirements of this section and such other rules and regulations that the department shall promulgate and may do so by remote electronic surveillance. If any probation/parole officer has probable cause to believe that an offender under house arrest has violated a condition of the house arrest agreement, the probation/parole officer may issue a warrant for the arrest of the offender. The probation/parole officer may effect the arrest or may deputize any officer with the power of arrest to do so by giving the officer a copy of the warrant which shall outline the circumstances of the alleged violation. The warrant delivered with the offender by the arresting officer to the official in charge of any jail or other detention facility to which the offender is brought shall be sufficient legal authority for detaining the offender. An offender arrested under this section shall remain in custody or incarcerated without consideration of bail. The director or his designee, upon recommendation of the probation and parole officer, may direct the return of any offender from house arrest to a correctional facility of the department for reclassification.

6. Each offender who is released to house arrest shall pay a percentage of his wages, established by department rules, to a maximum of the per capita cost of the house arrest program. The money received from the offender shall be deposited in the inmate fund and shall be expended to support the house arrest program.

217.730. 1. The period served on parole, except for judicial parole granted or revoked pursuant to section 559.100, RSMo, shall be deemed service of the term of imprisonment and, subject to the provisions of section 217.720 relating to an offender who is or has been a fugitive from justice, the total time served may not exceed the maximum term or sentence.

2. When an offender on parole or conditional release, before the expiration of the term for which the offender was sentenced, has performed the obligation of his parole for such time as satisfies the board that his final release is not incompatible with the best interest of society and the welfare of the individual, the board may make a final order of discharge and issue a certificate of discharge to the offender. No such order of discharge shall be made in any case less than three years after the date on which the offender was paroled or conditionally released except where the sentence expires earlier.

3. Upon final discharge, persons shall be informed in writing on the process and procedure to register to vote.

217.750. 1. At the request of a judge of any circuit court, the board shall provide probation services for such court as provided in subsection 2 of this section.

2. The board shall provide probation services for any person convicted of any class of felony. The board shall not [be required to] provide probation services for any class of misdemeanor except those class A misdemeanors the basis of which is contained in chapters 565[,] and 566 [and 570], RSMo, or in section 568.050, RSMo, 455.085, RSMo, or section 455.538, RSMo. [The board may in its discretion accept other persons for supervision who have been convicted of driving while intoxicated under the provisions of section 577.023, RSMo.]

217.760. 1. In all felony cases and class A misdemeanor cases, the basis of which misdemeanor cases are contained in chapters 565[,] and 566, [and 570,] RSMo, and section 577.023, RSMo, at the request of a circuit judge of any circuit court, the board shall assign one or more state probation and parole officers to make an investigation of the person convicted of the crime or offense before sentence is imposed. In all felony cases in which the recommended sentence established by the sentencing advisory commission pursuant to subsection 6 of section 558.019, RSMo, includes probation but the recommendation of the prosecuting attorney or circuit attorney does not include probation, the board of probation and parole shall, prior to sentencing, provide the judge with a report on available alternatives to incarceration.

2. The report of the presentence investigation or preparole investigation shall contain any prior criminal record of the defendant and such information about his or her characteristics, his or her financial condition, his or her social history [and], the circumstances affecting his or her behavior as may be helpful in imposing sentence or in granting probation or in the correctional treatment of the defendant, information concerning the impact of the crime upon the victim, the recommended sentence established by the sentencing advisory commission and available alternatives to incarceration including opportunities for restorative justice, as well as a recommendation by the probation and parole officer. The officer shall secure such other information as may be required by the court and, whenever it is practicable and needed, such investigation shall include a physical and mental examination of the defendant.”; and

Further amend said bill, Pages 25-26, Section 478.610, by striking all of said section from the bill and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

“478.610. 1. There shall be three circuit judges in the thirteenth judicial circuit consisting of the counties of Boone and Callaway. These judges shall sit in divisions numbered one, two and three. Beginning on January 1, 2007, there shall be four circuit judges in the thirteenth judicial circuit and these judges shall sit in divisions numbered one, two, three, and four.

2. The circuit judge in division two shall be elected in 1980. The circuit judges in divisions one and three shall be elected in 1982. The circuit judge in division four shall be elected in 2006 for a two-year term and thereafter in 2008 for a full six-year term.

3. The authority for a majority of judges of the thirteenth judicial circuit to appoint or retain a commissioner pursuant to section 478.003 shall expire August 28, 2001.

2. [The court shall instruct the jury as to the range of punishment authorized by statute and upon a finding of guilt to assess and declare the punishment as a part of their verdict, unless:] Where an offense is submitted to the jury, the trial shall proceed in two stages. At the first stage, the jury shall decide only whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty of any submitted offense. The issue of punishment shall not be submitted to the jury at the first stage.

3. If the jury at the first stage of a trial finds the defendant guilty of the submitted offense, the second stage of the trial shall proceed. The issue at the second stage of the trial shall be the punishment to be assessed and declared. Evidence supporting or mitigating punishment may be presented. Such evidence may include, within the discretion of the court, evidence concerning the impact of the crime upon the victim, the victim's family and others, the nature and circumstances of the offense, and the history and character of the defendant. Rebuttal and surrebuttal evidence may be presented. The state shall be the first to proceed. The court shall instruct the jury as to the range of punishment authorized by statute for each submitted offense. The attorneys may argue the issue of punishment to the jury, and the state shall have the right to open and close the argument. The jury shall assess and declare the punishment as authorized by statute.

[3.] 5. If the jury returns a verdict of guilty in the first stage and declares a term of imprisonment [as provided in subsection 2 of this section] in the second stage, the court shall proceed as provided in subsection 1 of this section except that any term of imprisonment imposed cannot exceed the term declared by the jury unless the term declared by the jury is less than the authorized lowest term for the offense, in which event the court cannot impose a term of imprisonment greater than the lowest term provided for the offense.

[4.] 6. If the defendant is found to be a prior offender, persistent offender, dangerous offender or persistent misdemeanor offender as defined in section 558.016, RSMo:

[5.] 7. The court shall not seek an advisory verdict from the jury in cases of prior offenders, persistent offenders, dangerous offenders, persistent sexual offenders or predatory sexual offenders; if an advisory verdict is rendered, the court shall not deem it advisory, but shall consider it as mere surplusage.

(2) “Conditional release” means the conditional discharge of an offender by the board of probation and parole, subject to conditions of release that the board deems reasonable to assist the offender to lead a law-abiding life, and subject to the supervision under the state board of probation and parole. The conditions of release shall include avoidance by the offender of any other crime, federal or state, and other conditions that the board in its discretion deems reasonably necessary to assist the releasee in avoiding further violation of the law.

5. The date of conditional release from the prison term may be extended up to a maximum of the entire sentence of imprisonment by the board of probation and parole. The director of any division of the department of corrections except the board of probation and parole may file with the board of probation and parole a petition to extend the conditional release date when an offender fails to follow the rules and regulations of the division or commits an act in violation of such rules. Within ten working days of receipt of the petition to extend the conditional release date, the board of probation and parole shall convene a hearing on the petition. The offender shall be present and may call witnesses in his or her behalf and cross-examine witnesses appearing against [him] the offender. The hearing shall be conducted as provided in section 217.670, RSMo. If the violation occurs in close proximity to the conditional release date, the conditional release may be held for a maximum of fifteen working days to permit necessary time for the division director to file a petition for an extension with the board and for the board to conduct a hearing, provided some affirmative manifestation of an intent to extend the conditional release has occurred prior to the conditional release date. If at the end of a fifteen-working-day period a board decision has not been reached, the offender shall be released conditionally. The decision of the board shall be final.

558.016. 1. The court may sentence a person who has pleaded guilty to or has been found guilty of an offense to a term of imprisonment as authorized by section 558.011 or to a term of imprisonment authorized by a statute governing the offense, if it finds the defendant is a prior offender or a persistent misdemeanor offender, or to an extended term of imprisonment if it finds the defendant is a persistent offender or a dangerous offender.

5. A “persistent misdemeanor offender” is one who has pleaded guilty to or has been found guilty of two or more class A or B misdemeanors, committed at different times, which are defined as offenses under chapters 195, 565, 566, 567, 568, 569, 570, 571, 572, 573, 574, 575, and 576, RSMo.

6. The pleas or findings of guilty shall be prior to the date of commission of the present offense.

7. The total authorized maximum terms of imprisonment for a persistent offender or a dangerous offender are:

(2) For a class B felony, [a term of years not to exceed thirty years] any sentence authorized for a class A felony;

(3) For a class C felony, [a term of years not to exceed twenty years] any sentence authorized for a class B felony;

(4) For a class D felony, [a term of years not to exceed ten years] any sentence authorized for a class C felony.

8. An offender convicted of a nonviolent class C or class D felony with no prior prison commitments, after serving one hundred twenty days of his or her sentence, may, in writing, petition the court to serve the remainder of his or her sentence on probation, parole, or other court-approved alternative sentence. No hearing shall be conducted unless the court deems it necessary. Upon the offender petitioning the court, the department of corrections shall submit a report to the sentencing court which evaluates the conduct of the offender while in custody, alternative custodial methods available to the offender, and shall recommend whether the offender be released or remain in custody. If the report issued by the department is favorable and recommends probation, parole, or other alternative sentence, the court shall follow the recommendations of the department unless the court makes the determination that such placement may be an abuse of discretion. Any placement of an offender pursuant to section 559.115, RSMo, shall be excluded from the provisions of this subsection.

558.019. 1. This section shall not be construed to affect the powers of the governor under article IV, section 7, of the Missouri Constitution. This statute shall not affect those provisions of section 565.020, RSMo, section 558.018 or section 571.015, RSMo, which set minimum terms of sentences, or the provisions of section 559.115, RSMo, relating to probation.

2. The provisions of subsections 2 to 5 of this section shall be applicable to all classes of felonies except those set forth in chapter 195, RSMo, and those otherwise excluded in subsection 1 of this section. For the purposes of this section, “prison commitment” means and is the receipt by the department of corrections of a [defendant] offender after sentencing. For purposes of this section, prior prison commitments to the department of corrections shall not include commitment to a regimented discipline program established pursuant to section 217.378, RSMo. Other provisions of the law to the contrary notwithstanding, any [defendant] offender who has pleaded guilty to or has been found guilty of a felony other than a dangerous felony as defined in section 556.061, RSMo, and is committed to the department of corrections shall be required to serve the following minimum prison terms:

(1) If the [defendant] offender has one previous prison commitment to the department of corrections for a felony offense, the minimum prison term which the [defendant] offender must serve shall be forty percent of his or her sentence or until the [defendant] offender attains seventy years of age, and has served at least [forty] thirty percent of the sentence imposed, whichever occurs first;

(2) If the [defendant] offender has two previous prison commitments to the department of corrections for felonies unrelated to the present offense, the minimum prison term which the [defendant] offender must serve shall be fifty percent of his or her sentence or until the [defendant] offender attains seventy years of age, and has served at least forty percent of the sentence imposed, whichever occurs first;

(3) If the [defendant] offender has three or more previous prison commitments to the department of corrections for felonies unrelated to the present offense, the minimum prison term which the [defendant] offender must serve shall be eighty percent of his or her sentence or until the [defendant] offender attains seventy years of age, and has served at least forty percent of the sentence imposed, whichever occurs first.

3. Other provisions of the law to the contrary notwithstanding, any [defendant] offender who has pleaded guilty to or has been found guilty of a dangerous felony as defined in section 556.061, RSMo, and is committed to the department of corrections shall be required to serve a minimum prison term of eighty-five percent of the sentence imposed by the court or until the [defendant] offender attains seventy years of age, and has served at least forty percent of the sentence imposed, whichever occurs first.

4. For the purpose of determining the minimum prison term to be served, the following calculations shall apply:

(2) Any sentence either alone or in the aggregate with other consecutive sentences for crimes committed at or near the same time which is over seventy-five years shall be calculated to be seventy-five years.

5. For purposes of this section, the term “minimum prison term” shall mean time required to be served by the [defendant] offender before he or she is eligible for parole, conditional release or other early release by the department of corrections. Except that the board of probation and parole, in the case of consecutive sentences imposed at the same time pursuant to a course of conduct constituting a common scheme or plan, shall be authorized to convert consecutive sentences to concurrent sentences, when the board finds, after hearing with notice to the prosecuting or circuit attorney, that the sum of the terms results in an unreasonably excessive total term, taking into consideration all factors related to the crime or crimes committed and the sentences received by others similarly situated.

6. (1) A sentencing advisory commission is hereby created to consist of [eleven] thirteen members. One member shall be appointed by the speaker of the house. One member shall be appointed by the president pro tem of the senate. One member shall be the director of the department of corrections.

All members of the sentencing commission appointed prior to August 28, 1994, shall continue to serve on the sentencing advisory commission at the pleasure of the governor.

(2) The commission shall study sentencing practices in the circuit courts throughout the state for the purpose of determining whether and to what extent disparities exist among the various circuit courts with respect to the length of sentences imposed and the use of probation for [defendants] offenders convicted of the same or similar crimes and with similar criminal histories. The commission shall also study and examine whether and to what extent sentencing disparity among economic and social classes exists in relation to the sentence of death and if so, the reasons therefor sentences are comparable to other states, if the length of the sentence is appropriate, and the rate of rehabilitation based on sentence. It shall compile statistics, examine cases, draw conclusions, and perform other duties relevant to the research and investigation of disparities in death penalty sentencing among economic and social classes.

(3) The commission shall establish a system of recommended sentences, within the statutory minimum and maximum sentences provided by law for each felony committed under the laws of this state. This system of recommended sentences shall be distributed to all sentencing courts within the state of Missouri. The recommended sentence for each crime shall take into account, but not be limited to, the following factors:

(d) The resources of the department of corrections and other authorities to carry out the punishments that are imposed.

(4) The commission shall study alternative sentences, prison work programs, work release, home-based incarceration, probation and parole options, and any other programs and report the feasibility of these options in Missouri.

[(6)] (7) The members of the commission shall not receive compensation for their duties on the commission, but shall be reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of these duties and for which they are not reimbursed by reason of their other paid positions.

[(7)] (8) The circuit and associate circuit courts of this state, the office of the state courts administrator, the department of public safety, and the department of corrections shall cooperate with the commission by providing information or access to information needed by the commission. The office of the state courts administrator will provide needed staffing resources.

7. Courts shall retain discretion to lower or exceed the sentence recommended by the commission as otherwise allowable by law, and to order restorative justice methods, when applicable.

8. In all cases involving class C and D felony violations of chapter 195, RSMo, where the department receives custody of an offender, the department of corrections shall make a report to the board of probation and parole within one hundred twenty days after receiving custody of the offender. The report shall contain a description of the circumstances of the offense, an evaluation of the offender's need for drug or alcohol treatment, an evaluation of the offender's conduct while in custody, and available options, if any, for punishing the offender in settings other than prison. The board of probation and parole shall have the authority for the duration of the sentence imposed by the court to place the offender in any combination of treatment, incarceration, supervised release, community service, and restorative justice.

9. If the imposition or execution of a sentence is suspended, the court may consider ordering any or all of the following restorative justice methods, or any other method that the court finds just or appropriate:

(1) Restitution to any victim for costs incurred as a result of the offender's actions;

10. The provisions of this section shall apply only to offenses occurring on or after August 28, [1994] 2003.

559.026. Except in infraction cases, when probation is granted, the court, in addition to conditions imposed [under] pursuant to section 559.021, may require as a condition of probation that the [defendant] offender submit to a period of detention up to forty-eight hours after the determination by a probation or parole officer that the offender violated a condition of continued probation or parole in an appropriate institution at whatever time or intervals within the period of probation, consecutive or nonconsecutive, the court shall designate, or the board of probation and parole shall direct. Any person placed on probation in a county of the first class or second class or in any city with a population of five hundred thousand or more and detained as herein provided shall be subject to all provisions of section 221.170, RSMo, even though he was not convicted and sentenced to a jail or workhouse.

(1) In misdemeanor cases, the period of detention under this section shall not exceed the shorter of fifteen days or the maximum term of imprisonment authorized for the misdemeanor by chapter 558, RSMo.

(2) In felony cases, the period of detention under this section shall not exceed one hundred twenty days.

(3) If probation is revoked and a term of imprisonment is served by reason thereof, the time spent in a jail, half-way house, honor center, workhouse or other institution as a detention condition of probation shall be credited against the prison or jail term served for the offense in connection with which the detention condition was imposed.

559.115. 1. Neither probation nor parole shall be granted by the circuit court between the time the transcript on appeal from the [defendant's] offender's conviction has been filed in appellate court and the disposition of the appeal by such court.

2. Unless otherwise prohibited by subsection 5 of this section, a circuit court only upon its own motion and not that of the state or the [defendant] offender shall have the power to grant probation to a [defendant] offender anytime up to one hundred twenty days after such [defendant] offender has been delivered to [the custody of] the department of corrections but not thereafter. The court may request information and a recommendation from the department concerning the [defendant] offender and such [defendant's] offender's behavior during the period of incarceration. Except as provided in this section, the court may place the [defendant] offender on probation in a program created pursuant to section 217.777, RSMo, or may place the [defendant] offender on probation with any other conditions authorized by law.

3. The court may recommend placement of an offender in a department of corrections one-hundred-twenty-day-program. Upon the recommendation of the court, the department of corrections shall determine the offender's eligibility for the program, the nature, intensity, and duration of any offender's participation in a program and the availability of space for an offender in any program. When the court recommends and receives placement of an offender in a department of corrections one-hundred-twenty-day-program, the offender shall be released on probation if the department of corrections determines that the offender has successfully completed the program except as follows. Upon successful completion of a treatment program, the board of probation and parole shall advise the sentencing court of an offender's probationary release date thirty days prior to release. The court shall release the offender unless such release constitutes an abuse of discretion. If the court determined that there is an abuse of discretion, the court may order the execution of the offender's sentence only after conducting a hearing on the matter within ninety to one hundred twenty days of the offender's sentence. If the court does not respond when an offender successfully completes the program, the offender shall be released on probation. Upon successful completion of a shock incarceration program, the board of probation and parole shall advise the sentencing court of an offender's probationary release date thirty days prior to release. The court shall follow the recommendation of the department unless the court determines that probation is not appropriate. If the court determines that probation is not appropriate, the court may order the execution of the offender's sentence only after conducting a hearing on the matter within ninety to one hundred twenty days of the offender's sentence. If the department determines that an offender is not successful in a program, then after one hundred days of incarceration the circuit court shall receive from the department of corrections a report on the offender's participation in the program and department recommendations for terms and conditions of an offender's probation. The court shall then release the offender on probation or order the offender to remain in the department to serve the sentence imposed.

4. If the department of correction's one-hundred-twenty-day-program is full, the court may place the offender in a private program approved by the department of corrections or the court. If the offender is convicted of a class C or class D nonviolent felony, the court may order probation while awaiting appointment to treatment.

[3.] 5. Except when the [defendant] offender has been found to be a predatory sexual offender pursuant to section 558.018, RSMo, the court shall request that the [defendant] offender be [place] placed in the sexual offender assessment unit of the department of corrections if the defendant has pleaded guilty to or has been found guilty of sexual abuse when classified as a class B felony.

[4.] 6. Unless the offender is being granted probation pursuant to successful completion of a one-hundred-twenty-day-program the circuit court shall notify the state in writing when the court intends to grant probation to the [defendant] offender pursuant to the provisions of this section. The state may, in writing, request a hearing within ten days of receipt of the court's notification that the court intends to grant probation. Upon the state's request for a hearing, the court shall grant a hearing as soon as reasonably possible. If the state does not respond to the court's notice in writing within ten days, the court may proceed upon its own motion to grant probation.

7. An offender's first incarceration for one hundred twenty days for participation in a department of corrections program prior to release on probation shall not be considered a previous prison commitment for the purpose of determining a minimum prison term under the provisions of section 558.019.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, probation may not be granted pursuant to this section to [defendants] offenders who have been convicted of murder in the second degree pursuant to section 565.021, RSMo; forcible rape pursuant to section 566.030, RSMo; forcible sodomy pursuant to section 566.060, RSMo; statutory rape in the first degree pursuant to section 566.032, RSMo; statutory sodomy in the first degree pursuant to section 566.062, RSMo; child molestation in the first degree pursuant to section 566.067, RSMo, when classified as a class B felony; abuse of a child pursuant to section 568.060, RSMo, when classified as a class A felony; a [defendant] offender who has been found to be a predatory sexual offender pursuant to section 558.018, RSMo; or any offense in which there exists a statutory prohibition against either probation or parole.

559.615. 1. No judge, nor any person related within the third degree of consanguinity or affinity to a judge or any other county elected official with direct court supervision responsibilities, may have a material financial interest in any private entity which contracts to provide probation supervision or rehabilitation services pursuant to sections 559.600 to 559.615.

2. No person who provides assessment services or who makes a report, finding, or recommendation for any probationer to attend any counseling or other program as a condition or requirement of probation, may be related within the third degree of consanguinity or affinity to any person who has any financial interest, whether direct or indirect, in the counseling or other program or any financial interest, whether direct or indirect, in any private entity which provides the counseling or other program. Any person who violates this subsection shall thereafter:

(1) Immediately remit to the state of Missouri any financial income gained as a direct or indirect result of the action constituting the violation;

(2) Be prohibited from providing assessment or counseling services to or for the state board of probation and parole or any office thereof; and

If the court finds that a special motion to dismiss or motion for judgment on the pleadings or motion for summary judgment is frivolous or solely intended to cause unnecessary delay, the court shall award costs and reasonable attorney fees to the party prevailing on the motion.

3. Any party shall have the right to an expedited appeal from a trial court order on the special motions described in subsection 2 of this section or from a trial court’s failure to rule on the motion on an expedited basis.

4. The state or any local governmental entity to which the moving party’s conduct or speech is made or directed or the attorney general may intervene to defend or otherwise support the moving party on any special motion.

5.

AMEND Senate Substitute for House Bill No. 198, Page 26, Section 478.610, Line 2, by inserting immediately after said line the following:

“479.051. 1. Any city, county or township may provide by ordinance an administrative adjudication system for adjudicating parking and other non-moving municipal code violations to the extent permitted by court rules. The adoption by a city, county, or township of an administrative adjudication system does not preclude the city, county, or township from using other methods to enforce ordinances. This statute shall not affect the validity of other administrative adjudication systems authorized by state law and created prior to the effective date of this statute.

2. An ordinance establishing an administrative adjudication system shall provide for an administrative adjudication unit or alternative, which could include the municipal division of a circuit court, define the jurisdiction and role of that unit and describe the means by which the municipality shall provide suitable facilities and operating resources for operating the administrative adjudication system. The ordinance shall designate the types of municipal code violations deemed appropriate for administrative adjudication consistent with applicable state law. The administrative adjudication unit shall operate under the supervision of the circuit court.

3. The administrative adjudication unit, as provided in this section, shall establish and maintain a system for adjudicating parking violations and any other municipal code violations designated for administrative adjudication by ordinance. The administrative adjudication system shall include operating policies and procedures, including but not limited to, appeal criteria, documentation requirements, notification deadlines, and forms, subject to the approval of the circuit court. The administrative adjudication system shall afford parties due process of law.

4. The adjudication process may involve a one-step administrative hearing or a two-step administrative review and administrative hearing. If the city, county, or township adopts a one-step process, individuals must apply for an administrative hearing to contest a municipal code violation. If the city, county, or township adopts a two-step process, individuals must first apply for an administrative review to contest a municipal code violation and then, if dissatisfied with the results of the administrative review, may apply for an administrative hearing. Any failure to request an administrative review or hearing in accordance with the rules established by the administrative adjudication unit, as provided in this section, shall be considered an admission of liability.

5. The administrative reviews and hearings authorized pursuant to this section shall be designed to ensure a fair and impartial consideration of the contested code violation. The formal and technical rules of evidence shall not apply in any administrative review or hearing authorized pursuant to this section. Evidence, including hearsay, may be admitted only if it is the type of evidence commonly relied upon by reasonably prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs. The officer or person who issued the notice of municipal code violation shall not be required to participate in an administrative review or hearing. The agency that issued the municipal code violation need not produce any evidence other than the notice of municipal code violation or copy thereof and information received from an appropriate state or local agency identifying the property owner of record. Such documentation in proper form shall be prima facie evidence of the municipal code violation.

6. An administrative review shall entail an informal review process through which the individual may contest a municipal code violation by mail, in person or other means approved by the administrative adjudication unit, as provided in subsection 2 of this section. The individual's right to an administrative review shall expire if the city does not receive a documented challenge to the municipal code violation within seven calendar days of issuing the original violation or the time period prescribed by local ordinance, whichever is later. In a city, county, or township adopting the two-step administrative adjudication process, individuals who fail to exercise their right to an administrative review in accordance with the prescribed rules shall also lose their right to an administrative hearing. The administrative adjudication unit, as provided in subsection 2 of this section, shall appoint or contract with qualified individuals to conduct administrative reviews.

7. An administrative hearing shall entail a formal hearing through which the individual may contest a municipal code violation or, for a city, county, or township with a two-step appeal process, an administrative review finding in person before an administrative hearing officer. Administrative hearings shall be scheduled with reasonable promptness and any notice of an administrative hearing shall include the code violation type and nature, the administrative hearing date and location, the legal authority and jurisdiction of the administrative adjudication unit, as provided in this section, and the penalties for failing to appear at the hearing. The individual's right to an administrative hearing shall expire if the city does not receive a written challenge to the administrative review results within seven calendar days of notifying the individual of the results of the administrative review or, if the municipality has a one-step appeal process, fourteen calendar days of issuing the original violation.

8. The administrative adjudication unit, as provided in this section, shall appoint or contract with qualified administrative hearing officers to preside over administrative hearings. As impartial and independent fact finders, administrative hearing officers may:

(4) Issue written findings of fact and conclusions of law, including the fine, penalty, or action with which the parties must comply; and

An administrative hearing officer shall be an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of Missouri for at least three years and possess sufficient competence to adjudicate municipal code violations, including, but not limited to, experience in administrative law, familiarity with the rules of procedure for administrative hearings, and a working knowledge of each subject area of the municipal code violations that they will adjudicate. An administrative hearing officer's employment and compensation shall not, directly or indirectly, be linked to the amount of fines. The municipality may establish additional policies and procedures for ensuring that administrative hearing officers demonstrate the objectivity and qualifications necessary to conduct fair, impartial, and expeditious hearings.

9. An administrative adjudication unit may not impose a penalty of incarceration or a fine in excess of the amount allowed by state or local law. Any fine, other sanction, or costs imposed, or part of any fine, other sanction, or costs imposed, remaining unpaid after the exhaustion of or the failure to exhaust judicial review procedures pursuant to chapter 536, RSMo, are a debt due and owing the municipality and may be collected in accordance with applicable law. Any fine, sanction, costs, or other charges assessed by the administrative adjudication unit shall be deposited into the municipal treasury in accordance with applicable state and local laws and rules for that particular municipality.

10. Any final decision by an administrative adjudication unit, as provided in this section, that a code violation does or does not exist shall constitute a final determination for purposes of judicial review and shall be subject to review pursuant to chapter 536, RSMo.

11. After expiration of the period in which judicial review pursuant to chapter 536, RSMo, may be sought for a final determination of a municipal code violation, unless stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction, the findings of fact and conclusions of law of the administrative hearing officer may be enforced in the same manner as a judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a defendant fails to comply with an order of the administrative hearing officer, any expenses incurred by the municipality to enforce the order, including, but not limited to, attorney, court, administrative, vehicle storage, and property demolition or foreclosure costs, after they are fixed by an administrative hearing officer or a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be a debt due the municipality and may be collected in accordance with applicable law. Upon being recorded in the manner required by state law or the uniform commercial code, a lien may be imposed on the real or personal property, or both, of the defendant in the amount of any debt due the municipality pursuant to this section. The lien may be enforced in the same manner as a judgment lien pursuant to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.”; and

AMEND Senate Substitute for House Bill No. 198, Page 16, Section 302.060, Line 4 of said page, by inserting immediately after said line the following:

7. The director shall revoke the license and driving privilege of any person when the person's driving record shows such person has accumulated twelve points in twelve months or eighteen points in twenty-four months or twenty-four points in thirty-six months. The revocation period of any person whose license and driving privilege have been revoked under the provisions of sections 302.010 to 302.540 and who has filed proof of financial responsibility with the department of revenue in accordance with chapter 303, RSMo, and is otherwise eligible, shall be terminated by a notice from the director of revenue after one year from the effective date of the revocation. Unless proof of financial responsibility is filed with the department of revenue, except as provided in subsection 2 of section 302.541, the revocation shall remain in effect for a period of two years from its effective date. The revocation period of any person whose license and driving privilege have been revoked a second time pursuant to this subsection and who has filed proof of financial responsibility with the department of revenue in accordance with section 303.173, RSMo, shall be terminated by a notice from the director of revenue after three years from the effective date of the revocation.

The revocation period of any person whose license and driving privilege have been revoked a fifth or subsequent time pursuant to this subsection and who has filed proof of financial responsibility with the department of revenue in accordance with section 303.173, RSMo, shall be terminated by a notice from the director of revenue after ten years from the effective date of the revocation. If the person fails to maintain proof of financial responsibility in accordance with chapter 303, RSMo, the person's license and driving privilege shall be rerevoked. Any person whose license and driving privilege have been revoked under the provisions of sections 302.010 to 302.540 shall, upon receipt of the notice of termination of the revocation from the director, pass the complete driver examination and apply for a new license before again operating a motor vehicle upon the highways of this state.

8. If, prior to conviction for an offense that would require suspension or revocation of a person's license under the provisions of this section, the person's total points accumulated are reduced, pursuant to the provisions of section 302.306, below the number of points required for suspension or revocation pursuant to the provisions of this section, then the person's license shall not be suspended or revoked until the necessary points are again obtained and accumulated.

9. If any person shall neglect or refuse to surrender the person's license, as provided herein, the director shall direct the state highway patrol or any peace or police officer to secure possession thereof and return it to the director.

10. Upon the issuance of a reinstatement or termination notice after a suspension or revocation of any person's license and driving privilege under the provisions of sections 302.010 to 302.540, the accumulated point value shall be reduced to four points, except that the points of any person serving as a member of the armed forces of the United States outside the limits of the United States during a period of suspension or revocation shall be reduced to zero upon the date of the reinstatement or termination of notice. It shall be the responsibility of such member of the armed forces to submit copies of official orders to the director of revenue to substantiate such overseas service. Any other provision of sections 302.010 to 302.540 to the contrary notwithstanding, the effective date of the four points remaining on the record upon reinstatement or termination shall be the date of the reinstatement or termination notice.

11. No credit toward reduction of points shall be given during periods of suspension or revocation or any period of driving under a limited driving privilege granted by a court or the director of revenue.

12. Any person or nonresident whose license or privilege to operate a motor vehicle in this state has been suspended or revoked under this or any other law shall, before having the license or privilege to operate a motor vehicle reinstated, pay to the director a reinstatement fee of twenty dollars which shall be in addition to all other fees provided by law.

13. [Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, if after two years from the effective date of any suspension or revocation issued under this chapter, the person or nonresident has not paid the reinstatement fee of twenty dollars, the director shall reinstate such license or privilege to operate a motor vehicle in this state.

14.] No person who has had a license to operate a motor vehicle suspended or revoked as a result of an assessment of points for a violation under subdivision (8), (9) or (10) of subsection 1 of section 302.302 shall have that license reinstated until such person has participated in and successfully completed a substance abuse traffic offender program defined in section 302.010, or a program determined to be comparable by the department. Assignment recommendations, based upon the needs assessment as described in subdivision (22) of section 302.010, shall be delivered in writing to the person with written notice that the person is entitled to have such assignment recommendations reviewed by the court if the person objects to the recommendations. The person may file a motion in the associate division of the circuit court of the county in which such assignment was given, on a printed form provided by the state courts administrator, to have the court hear and determine such motion pursuant to the provisions of chapter 517, RSMo. The motion shall name the person or entity making the needs assessment as the respondent and a copy of the motion shall be served upon the respondent in any manner allowed by law. Upon hearing the motion, the court may modify or waive any assignment recommendation that the court determines to be unwarranted based upon a review of the needs assessment, the person's driving record, the circumstances surrounding the offense, and the likelihood of the person committing a like offense in the future, except that the court may modify but may not waive the assignment to an education or rehabilitation program of a person determined to be a prior or persistent offender as defined in section 577.023, RSMo, or of a person determined to have operated a motor vehicle with fifteen-hundredths of one percent or more by weight in such person's blood. Compliance with the court determination of the motion shall satisfy the provisions of this section for the purpose of reinstating such person's license to operate a motor vehicle. The respondent's personal appearance at any hearing conducted pursuant to this subsection shall not be necessary unless directed by the court.

[15.] 14. The fees for the program authorized in subsection [14] 13 of this section, or a portion thereof to be determined by the department of mental health, shall be paid by the person enrolled in the program. Any person who is enrolled in the program shall pay, in addition to any fee charged for the program, a supplemental fee of sixty dollars. The administrator of the program shall remit to the division of alcohol and drug abuse of the department of mental health the supplemental fee for all persons enrolled in the program, less two percent for administrative costs. The supplemental fees received by the department of mental health pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the mental health earnings fund which is created in section 630.053, RSMo.”; and

AMEND Senate Substitute for House Bill No. 198, Page 3, Section 43.650, Line 10 of said page, by inserting after all of said line the following:

Such proposition shall be submitted to the voters in substantially the following form at such election:

Shall a sales tax of ............ percent on the amount of sales or charges for all rooms paid by the transient guests of hotels and motels be levied in the county of .......... to provide certain funds for the regional convention and sports complex authority and for general revenue purposes?

In the event that a majority of the voters voting on such proposition in such county at such election approve such proposition, then such sales tax shall be in full force and effect as of the first day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the election was held.

7. Notwithstanding any provision of subsection 6 of this section to the contrary, funds deposited in the county convention and recreation trust fund pursuant to subsection 5 of this section in excess of amounts payable as the county's share of any rent, fees or charges payable pursuant to any contract, agreement, lease or sublease provided for in subsection 3 of this section, including reasonable reserves for future payments of such amounts, shall not be appropriated or paid except for funding of the regional convention and sports complex authority or for regional convention and tourism purposes to the regional convention and visitors commission established by section 67.601 if it is providing management and operations services for a facility of the regional convention and sports complex authority of which the state of Missouri, the city, and St. Louis County are lessees pursuant to a contract, agreement or sublease with such lessees.

8.

Shall the present two-dollar license fee per occupied room levied in the city of .................. on hotels and motels be repealed and a sales tax of .......... percent on the amount of sales or charges for all rooms paid by the transient guests of hotels and motels be levied in the city of ................ to provide funds for convention, tourism and sports facilities purposes and agencies?

In the event that a majority of the voters voting on such proposition in such city at such election approve such proposition, then such two-dollar license fee per occupied room shall be repealed and such sales tax shall be in full force and effect as of the first day of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the election was held.

9. On and after the effective date of any tax authorized under the provisions of subsection 8 of this section, the governing body of the city may adopt one of the two following provisions for the collection and administration of the tax:

A civil fine, which shall not exceed five thousand dollars, shall be enforceable in the circuit court where the violation occurred may be assessed against any person who intentionally enters a restricted area in use as a playing surface during a professional sporting event without the consent of the owner or manager of the facility.”; and

Further amend said bill, Page 42, Section 565.305, Line 7 of said page, by inserting immediately after said line the following:

“565.030. 1. Where murder in the first degree is charged but not submitted or where the state waives the death penalty, the submission to the trier and all subsequent proceedings in the case shall proceed as in all other criminal cases with a single stage trial in which guilt and punishment are submitted together.

2. Where murder in the first degree is submitted to the trier without a waiver of the death penalty, the trial shall proceed in two stages before the same trier. At the first stage the trier shall decide only whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty of any submitted offense. The issue of punishment shall not be submitted to the trier at the first stage. If an offense is charged other than murder in the first degree in a count together with a count of murder in the first degree, the trial judge shall assess punishment on any such offense according to law, after the defendant is found guilty of such offense and after he finds the defendant to be a prior offender pursuant to chapter 558, RSMo.

3. If murder in the first degree is submitted and the death penalty was not waived but the trier finds the defendant guilty of a lesser homicide, a second stage of the trial shall proceed at which the only issue shall be the punishment to be assessed and declared. No further evidence shall be received. If the trier is a jury it shall be instructed on the law. The attorneys may then argue as in other criminal cases the issue of punishment, after which the trier shall assess and declare the punishment as in all other criminal cases.

4. If the trier at the first stage of a trial where the death penalty was not waived finds the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree, a second stage of the trial shall proceed at which the only issue shall be the punishment to be assessed and declared. Evidence in aggravation and mitigation of punishment, including but not limited to evidence supporting any of the aggravating or mitigating circumstances listed in subsection 2 or 3 of section 565.032, may be presented subject to the rules of evidence at criminal trials. Such evidence may include, within the discretion of the court, evidence concerning the murder victim and the impact of the crime upon the family of the victim and others. Rebuttal and surrebuttal evidence may be presented. The state shall be the first to proceed. If the trier is a jury it shall be instructed on the law. The attorneys may then argue the issue of punishment to the jury, and the state shall have the right to open and close the argument. The trier shall assess and declare the punishment at life imprisonment without eligibility for probation, parole, or release except by act of the governor:

(1) If the trier finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant is mentally retarded; or

(2) If the trier does not find beyond a reasonable doubt at least one of the statutory aggravating circumstances set out in subsection 2 of section 565.032; or

(3) If the trier concludes that there is evidence in mitigation of punishment, including but not limited to evidence supporting the statutory mitigating circumstances listed in subsection 3 of section 565.032, which is sufficient to outweigh the evidence in aggravation of punishment found by the trier; or

(4) If the trier decides under all of the circumstances not to assess and declare the punishment at death. If the trier is a jury it shall be so instructed.

If the trier assesses and declares the punishment at death it shall, in its findings or verdict, set out in writing the aggravating circumstance or circumstances listed in subsection 2 of section 565.032 which it found beyond a reasonable doubt. If the trier is a jury [it shall be instructed before the case is submitted that if it] and is unable to unanimously decide or agree upon setting the punishment at death, the court shall assess and declare the punishment at life imprisonment without eligibility for probation, parole, or release except by act of the governor [or death]; and the jury shall be accordingly instructed before the case is submitted. The court shall follow the same procedure as set out in this section whenever it is required to determine punishment for murder in the first degree.

5. Upon written agreement of the parties and with leave of the court, the issue of the defendant's mental retardation may be taken up by the court and decided prior to trial without prejudicing the defendant's right to have the issue submitted to the trier of fact as provided in subsection 4 of this section.

6. As used in this section, the terms “mental retardation” or “mentally retarded” refer to a condition involving substantial limitations in general functioning characterized by significantly subaverage intellectual functioning with continual extensive related deficits and limitations in two or more adaptive behaviors such as communication, self-care, home living, social skills, community use, self-direction, health and safety, functional academics, leisure and work, which conditions are manifested and documented before eighteen years of age.

Madam Speaker: I am instructed by the Senate to inform the House of Representatives that the Senate has taken up and passed SS SCS HS HCS HBs 517, 94, 149, 150 & 342, entitled:

An act to repeal section 208.565, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof two new sections relating to stabilization of income for the elderly, with an emergency clause and an effective date for a certain section.

AMEND Senate Substitute for Senate Committee Substitute for House Committee Substitute for House Bill Nos. 517, 94, 149, 150 & 342, Pages 1 through 6, Section 137.106, by striking all of said section from the bill and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

If the homestead is located in a multi-unit building, the homestead is the portion of the building actually used as the principal dwelling and its percentage of the value of the common elements and of the value of the property upon which it is built. The percentage is the value of the unit consisting of the homestead compared to the total value of the building exclusive of the common elements, if any. If the homestead is located on a farm, the homestead consists of the dwelling house, appurtenances, and the land used in connection therewith, not to exceed five acres;

(5) "Household", all persons residing in a single dwelling whether related or not;

(6) "Household income", the combined federal adjusted gross income of all members of the household, whether filing jointly or individually;

135.039. 1. An individual, or two or more individuals jointly, may elect to defer the property taxes on their homestead by filing a claim for deferral with the county clerk after January first and on or before October fifteenth of the first year in which deferral is claimed if the individual, or, in the case of two or more individuals filing a claim jointly, the older individual, is sixty-two years of age or older on October fifteenth of the year in which the claim is filed.

2. In order to make the election described in subsection 1 of this section, the individual must have, or in case of two or more individuals filing a claim jointly, all of the individuals together must have household income for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the claim is filed of less than the maximum upper limit.

3. The county clerk shall forward each claim filed pursuant to this section to the director of revenue which shall determine if the property is eligible for deferral.

4. When the taxpayer elects to defer property taxes for any year by filing a claim for deferral pursuant to subsection 1 of this section, it shall have the effect of:

(1) Deferring the payment of the property taxes levied on the homestead for the year beginning on January first of such year;

6. If a trustee of an inter vivos trust which was created by and is revocable by an individual, who is both the settlor and a beneficiary of the trust and who is otherwise qualified to obtain a deferral of taxes pursuant to sections 135.037 to 135.083, owns the fee simple estate under a recorded instrument of sale, the trustee may act for the individual in complying with the provisions of sections 135.037 to 135.083.

7. Nothing in this section shall be construed to require a spouse of an individual to file a claim jointly with the individual even though the spouse may be eligible to claim the deferral jointly with the individual.

8. Any person aggrieved by the denial of a claim for deferral of homestead property taxes or disqualification from deferral of homestead property taxes may appeal in the manner provided for denial of a claim pursuant to section 143.841, RSMo.

135.041. In order to qualify for tax deferral pursuant to sections 135.037 to 135.083, the property must meet all of the following requirements when the claim is filed and thereafter so long as the payment of taxes by the taxpayer is deferred:

(5) The person claiming the deferral must, by himself or herself or together with his or her spouse, show proof of insurance at any time on the homestead in an amount equal to or exceeding the market value as provided in the most recent tax bill of the homestead, to the director of revenue, and the insurance must be kept in place as long as deferral pursuant to sections 135.037 to 135.083 is maintained.

135.043. 1. A taxpayer's claim for deferral pursuant to section 135.039 shall be in writing on a form supplied by the department and shall:

(2) Recite facts establishing the eligibility for the deferral pursuant to the provisions of sections 135.037 to 135.083, including facts that establish that the household income of the individual, or individuals in the household, was, for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the claim is filed, less than the amount required pursuant to section 135.039;

(3) Have attached any documentary proof required by the director to show that the requirements of sections 135.037 to 135.083 have been met.

2. The claim shall be in the form of an affidavit verifying that the statements contained in the claim are true.

135.045. 1. If eligibility for deferral of homestead property is established as provided in section 135.037 to 135.083, the director of revenue shall notify the county assessor or collector who shall show on the current ad valorem assessment and tax roll which property is tax-deferred property by an entry clearly designating such property as tax-deferred property.

2. When requested by the director, the tax collector shall send to the director, as soon as the taxes are extended upon the roll, the tax statement for each tax-deferred property.

3. Interest shall accrue on the actual amount of taxes advanced to the county for the tax-deferred property at the rate of six percent per annum.

135.047. 1. In each county in which there is tax-deferred property, the director of revenue shall cause to be recorded in the mortgage records of the county, a list of tax-deferred properties of that county. The list shall contain a description of the property as listed on the assessment roll together with the name of the owner or owners listed thereon.

2. Except as provided in section 135.053, the recording of the tax-deferred properties pursuant to subsection 1 of this section is notice that the director claims a lien against those properties in the amount of the deferred taxes plus interest together with any fees paid to the county clerk in connection with the recording, release or satisfaction of the lien.

3. Notwithstanding any provisions of law to the contrary, the director shall not be required to pay any filing, indexing or recording fees to the county in connection with the recording, release or satisfaction of liens against tax-deferred properties of that county in advance or at the time entry is made.

135.049. 1. Upon determining the amount of deferred taxes on tax-deferred property for the tax year, the director shall pay to the respective county tax collectors an amount equivalent to the deferred taxes less two percent thereof. Payment shall be made from the account established pursuant to section 135.083.

2. The director shall maintain records for each deferred property and shall accrue interest only on the actual amount of taxes advanced to the county.

3. If only a portion of taxes are deferred pursuant to section 135.065, the director shall pay the portion that will be deferred for that year to the tax collector and shall provide a separate notice to the county assessor stating the amount of property taxes that the director is paying.

135.051. 1. On or before December fifteenth of each year, the director of revenue shall send a notice to each taxpayer who is qualified to claim deferral of property taxes for the current tax year. The notice shall:

(1) Inform the taxpayer that the property taxes have or have not been deferred in the current year;

(2) Show the total amount of taxes remaining deferred since initial application for deferral and the interest accruing therein to November fifteenth of the current year;

(3) Inform the taxpayer that voluntary payment of the deferred taxes may be made at any time to the director of revenue;

(4) Contain any other information that the director considers necessary to facilitate administration of the homestead deferral program.

2. The director shall give the notice required pursuant to subsection 1 of this section by an unsealed postcard or other form of mail sent to the residence address of the taxpayer as shown in the claim for deferral or as otherwise determined by the director to be the correct address of the taxpayer.

135.053. 1. At the time that the taxpayer elects to defer property taxes pursuant to sections 135.037 to 135.083 the director of revenue shall estimate the amount of property taxes that will be deferred for a period of five tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2003, or the year of deferral, whichever is later, and interest thereon. Thereafter, the director shall have a lien in the amount of the estimate. Every five years after filing the initial lien, the director shall file an additional lien for an estimate of the amount of property taxes that will be deferred for the next five years, and interest thereon. The liens provided in this subsection shall be considered part of the public record.

2. The liens created pursuant to subsection 1 of this section shall attach to the property to which the election to defer relates on January first of the first tax year in which the lien is filed.

3. The liens created pursuant to subsection 1 of this section in the amount of the estimate shall have the same priority as other real property tax liens except that the liens of mortgages, trust deeds or security interests which are recorded or noted on a certificate of title prior in time to the attachment of the liens for deferred taxes shall be prior to the liens for deferred taxes.

4. If during the period of tax deferment, the amount of taxes, interest and fees exceeds the estimate, the director shall have a lien for the amount of the excess. The liens for the excess shall attach to the property on January first of the tax year in which the excess occurs. The lien for the excess shall have the same priority as other real property tax liens, except that the lien of mortgages, trust deeds or security interests recorded or noted on any certificate of title prior in time to the date that the director records an amendment to its estimate to reflect its lien for the excess shall be prior to the lien for the excess.

5. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 135.047, the notice of lien for deferred taxes recorded as provided in section 135.047 arising on or after January 1, 2003, shall list the amount of the estimate of deferred taxes, interest and fees made by the director pursuant to subsection 1 of this section and any amendment to the notice to reflect a lien for excess, as described pursuant to subsection 4 of this section, shall list the amount of the excess that the director claims as lien.

6. A lien created pursuant to this section may be foreclosed by the director pursuant to the law relating to foreclosure in civil suits or any other collection methods given the director of revenue. The court may award reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing party in a foreclosure action pursuant to this section.

7. Receipts from foreclosure proceedings shall be credited in the same manner as other repayments of deferred property taxes pursuant to section 135.083.

8. By means of voluntary payment made as provided pursuant to section 135.067, the taxpayer may limit the amount of the lien for deferred taxes created pursuant to this section. If the taxpayer desires that the limit be reflected in the records of the county, the taxpayer must request, subject to any rules adopted by the director, that the director cause a partial satisfaction of the lien to be recorded in the county. Upon receipt of such a request, the director shall cause a partial satisfaction, in the amount of the voluntary payment, to be so recorded. Nothing in this subsection shall affect the priority of the liens of the director, as originally created pursuant to subsections 1 and 4 of this section.

9. Nothing in this section shall affect any lien arising pursuant to sections 135.037 to 135.083 for taxes assessed before January 1, 2003.

135.059. Subject to section 135.063, all deferred property taxes, including accrued interest, become payable as provided in section 135.061 when:

(1) The taxpayer who claimed deferment of collection of property taxes on the homestead dies or, if there was more than one claimant, the survivor of the taxpayers who originally claimed deferment of collection of property taxes pursuant to section 135.039 dies;

(2) Except as provided in section 135.057, the property with respect to which deferment of collection of taxes is claimed is sold, or some person other than the taxpayer who claimed the deferment becomes the owner of the property;

(3) The tax-deferred property is no longer the homestead of the taxpayer who claimed the deferral, except in the case of a taxpayer required to be absent from such tax-deferred property by reason of health;

(4) The tax-deferred property, a manufactured structure or floating home, is moved out of the state.

(1) The deferral of taxes for the assessment year in which the circumstance occurs shall continue for such assessment year; and

(2) The amounts of deferred property taxes, including accrued interest, for all years shall be due and payable on the date of closing or the date of probate to the director of revenue, except as provided in subsection 3 of this section, section 135.063 and section 135.075.

2. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 1 of this section and section 135.075, when the circumstances occur listed in subsection 4 of section 135.059, the amount of deferred taxes shall be due and payable five days before the date of removal of the property from the state.

3. If the amounts falling due as provided in this section are not paid on the indicated due date, or as extended pursuant to section 135.075, such amounts shall be deemed delinquent as of that date and the property shall be subject to foreclosure as provided in section 135.053.

135.063. 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 135.059, when one of the circumstances listed in section 135.059 occurs, the spouse who was not eligible to or did not file a claim jointly with the taxpayer may continue the property in its deferred tax status by filing a claim within the time and in the manner provided pursuant to section 135.039 if:

(1) The spouse of the taxpayer is or will be sixty years of age or older not later than six months from the day the circumstance listed in section 135.059 occurs; and

(2) The property is the homestead of the spouse of the taxpayer and meets the requirements of subsection 2 of section 135.041.

2. A spouse who does not meet the age requirements of subsection 1 of this section but is otherwise qualified to continue the property in its tax-deferred status pursuant to subsection 1 of this section may continue the deferral of property taxes deferred for previous years by filing a claim within the time and in the manner provided pursuant to section 135.039. If a spouse eligible for and continuing the deferral of taxes previously deferred pursuant to this subsection becomes sixty-two years of age prior to October fifteenth of any year, the spouse may elect to continue the deferral of previous years' taxes deferred pursuant to this subsection and may elect to defer the current assessment year's taxes on the homestead by filing a claim within the time and in the manner provided pursuant to section 135.039. Thereafter, payment of the taxes levied on the homestead and deferred pursuant to this subsection and payment of taxes levied on the homestead in the current assessment year and in future years may be deferred in the manner provided in and subject to sections 135.037 to 135.083.

3. Notwithstanding that section 135.039 requires that a claim be filed no later than October fifteenth, if the director of revenue determines that good and sufficient cause exists for the failure of a spouse to file a claim pursuant to this section on or before October fifteenth, the claim may be filed within one hundred eighty days after notice of taxes due and payable pursuant to section 135.037 is mailed or delivered by the director to the taxpayer or taxpayers.

135.065. 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 135.039 or any other provision of sections 135.037 to 135.083, if the individual or, in the case of two or more individuals electing to defer property taxes jointly, all of the individuals together, or the spouse who has filed a claim pursuant to section 135.063, has household income that exceeds the maximum upper limit for the tax year that began in the previous calendar year, then for the tax year next beginning, the amount of taxes for which deferral is allowed shall be reduced by fifty cents for each dollar of household income in excess of the maximum upper limit or if that income exceeds the maximum upper limit by a factor of two, the property taxes shall not be deferred.

2. Prior to December first of each year, the director of revenue shall review returns filed pursuant to chapter 143, RSMo, to determine if subsection 1 of this section is applicable for a homestead for the tax year next beginning. If subsection 1 of this section is applicable, the director shall notify by mail the taxpayer or taxpayers electing deferral, and the taxes otherwise to be deferred for the tax year next beginning shall be reduced as provided in subsection 1 of this section or, if household income in excess of the maximum upper limit exceeds the maximum upper limit by a factor of two, the property taxes shall not be deferred.

3. If the taxpayer or taxpayers does not file a return for purposes of chapter 143, RSMo, and the director has reason to believe that the federal adjusted gross income of the taxpayer or taxpayers exceeds the maximum upper limit for the tax year that began in the previous calendar year, the director shall notify by mail the taxpayer or taxpayers electing deferral. If, within thirty days after the notice is mailed, the taxpayer or taxpayers does not file a return pursuant to chapter 143, RSMo, or otherwise satisfy the director that household income does not exceed the maximum upper limit, the director shall again notify the taxpayer or taxpayers, and the taxes otherwise to be deferred for the tax year next beginning shall not be deferred.

4. Nothing in this section shall affect the continued deferral of taxes that have been deferred for tax years beginning prior to the tax year next beginning or the right to deferral of taxes for a tax year beginning after the tax year next beginning if subsection 1 of this section is not applicable for that tax year for the homestead.

5. If, after an initial determination pursuant to this section has been made by the director, upon audit or examination or otherwise, it is discovered that the taxpayer or taxpayers had household income in excess of the limitation provided pursuant to subsection 1 of this section, the director shall determine the amount of taxes deferred that should not have been deferred and give notice to the taxpayer or taxpayers of the amount of taxes that should not have been deferred. The provisions of chapter 143, RSMo, shall apply to a determination of the director pursuant to this section in the same manner as those provisions are applicable to an income tax deficiency. The amount of deferred taxes that should not have been deferred shall bear interest from the date paid by the director until paid at the rate of six percent. A deficiency shall not be assessed pursuant to this section if notice required pursuant to this section is not given to the taxpayer or taxpayers within three years after the date that the director has paid the deferred taxes to the county. Upon payment of the amount assessed as deficiency, and interest, the department shall execute a release in the amount of the payment and the release shall be conclusive evidence of the removal and extinguishment of the lien pursuant to sections 135.037 to 135.083 to the extent of the payment.

6. If, after an initial determination pursuant to this section has been made by the director, upon claim for refund, audit or examination or otherwise, it is discovered that the taxpayer or taxpayers had household income in the amount of or less than the limitation provided pursuant to subsection 1 of this section, the director shall determine the amount of taxes deferred that should have been deferred and give notice to the taxpayer or taxpayers of the amount of taxes that should have been deferred. The provisions of chapter 143, RSMo, shall apply to a determination of the director pursuant to this section in the same manner as those provisions are applicable to an income tax refund. The amount of the taxes that should have been deferred shall bear interest from the date paid by the taxpayer to the county at the rate established by the director of the director of revenue for refunds until paid. Claim for refund pursuant to this subsection must be filed within three years after the earliest date that the taxpayer or taxpayers is notified by the director that the taxes are not deferred.

7. This section applies to all tax-deferred property, notwithstanding that election to defer taxes is made pursuant to sections 135.037 to 135.083 before or after January 1, 2003.

135.066. Any taxpayer or taxpayers who have a household income of up to twice the maximum upper limit who have been precluded from deferring any portion of their property tax due to their household income being in excess of the maximum upper limit, may qualify for a deferral of the amount of property tax which has increased on their homestead since January first in the base year. Pursuant to the provisions of this section, the term "base year" shall mean the year beginning January first after the sixty-second birthday of the person otherwise qualified to claim the deferral pursuant to sections 135.037 to 135.083, however, base year shall not mean any year prior to the year beginning January 1, 2003. Such deferral shall be subject to the provisions of sections 135.037 to 135.083 as if it were a deferral pursuant to section 135.039.

135.067. 1. All payments of deferred taxes shall be made to the director of revenue.

2. Subject to subsection 3 of this section, all or part of the deferred taxes and accrued interest may at any time be paid to the director by:

(2) The next of kin of the taxpayer, heir at law of the taxpayer, child of the taxpayer or any person having or claiming a legal or equitable interest in the property.

3. A person listed in subdivision (2) of subsection 2 of this section may make such payments only if no objection is made by the taxpayer within thirty days after the director deposits in the mail notice to the taxpayer of the fact that such payment has been tendered.

4. Any payment made pursuant to this section shall be applied first against accrued interest and any remainder against the deferred taxes. Such payment does not affect the deferred tax status of the property. Unless otherwise provided by law, such payment does not give the person paying the taxes any interest in the property or any claim against the estate, in the absence of a valid agreement to the contrary.

5. The provisions of subsection 4 of this section notwithstanding, if any taxpayer in the deferral program pays part or all of the current year property tax liability in a timely manner, such payment shall be applied against the principal of the deferred taxes and then against any interest, if applicable.

6. When the deferred taxes and accrued interest are paid in full and the property is no longer subject to deferral, the director shall prepare and record in the county in which the property is located a satisfaction of deferred property tax lien.

135.073. 1. If the property on which taxes have been deferred is deeded over to the county at the conclusion of the foreclosure proceedings pursuant to chapter 141, RSMo, the county governing body shall order the county treasurer to pay to the director of revenue from the combined tax collections account the amount of deferred taxes and interest which were not collected by the director of revenue, which payment shall not exceed the amount collected by the foreclosure proceedings minus reasonable expenses incurred by the county as a result of the foreclosure process.

2. Immediately upon payment, the county treasurer shall notify the tax collector of the amount paid to the director for the property which has been deeded to the county.

135.075. 1. If the taxpayer who claimed homestead property tax deferral dies, or if a spouse who continued the deferral pursuant to section 135.063 dies, the director of revenue may extend the time for payment of the deferred taxes and interest accruing with respect to the taxes becoming due and payable pursuant to subsection 2 of section 135.061 where:

(b) If the individual or individuals are heirs or devisees, as defined pursuant to section 472.010, RSMo, in the course of settlement of the estate;

(2) The individual or individuals commence occupancy of the property as a principal residence on or before February fifteenth of the calendar year following the calendar year of death; and

(3) The individual or individuals make application to the director for an extension of time for payment of the deferred taxes and interest prior to February fifteenth of the calendar year following the calendar year of death.

2. (1) Subject to subdivision (2) of this subsection, an extension granted pursuant to this section shall be for a period not to exceed five years after February fifteenth of the calendar year following the calendar year of death. The terms and conditions under which the extension is granted shall be in accordance with a written agreement entered into by the director and the individual or individuals.

(2) An extension granted pursuant to this section shall terminate immediately if:

(a) The homestead property is sold or otherwise transferred by any party to the extension agreement;

(b) All of the heirs or devisees who are parties to the extension agreement cease to occupy the property as a principal residence; or

3. If the director has reason to believe that the homestead property is not sufficient security for the deferred taxes and interest, the director may require the individual or individuals to furnish a bond conditioned upon payment of the amount extended in accordance with the terms of the extension. The bond shall not exceed an amount double the taxes with respect to which tax extension is granted.

4. During the period of extension, and until paid, the deferred taxes shall continue to accrue interest in the same manner and at the same rate as provided pursuant to subsection 3 of section 135.045. No interest shall accrue upon interest.

5. When any taxpayer who claimed homestead property tax deferral dies, the spouse, heirs and devisees, as defined pursuant to section 472.010, RSMo, shall within sixty days notify in writing the director of the taxpayer's death.

(6) Terms such as “at cost”, “$....... above cost” shall not be used in advertisements because of the difficulty in determining a dealer's actual net cost at the time of the sale[.

[(11)] (10) “Bait advertising”, in which an advertiser may have no intention to sell at the prices or terms advertised, shall not be used. Bait advertising shall include, but not be limited to, the following examples:

(a) Not having available for sale the advertised motor vehicles at the advertised prices. If a specific vehicle is advertised, the dealer shall be in possession of a reasonable supply of such vehicles, and they shall be available at the advertised price. If the advertised vehicle is available only in limited numbers or only by order, such limitations shall be stated in the advertisement;

(b) Advertising a motor vehicle at a specified price, including such terms as “as low as $.......”, but having available for sale only vehicles equipped with dealer-added cost options which increase the selling price above the advertised price;

[(12)] (11) Any reference to monthly payments, down payments, or other reference to financing or leasing information shall be accompanied by a clear and conspicuous disclosure of the following:

(a) Whether the payment or other information relates to a financing or a lease transaction;

(b) If the payment or other information relates to a financing transaction, the minimum down payment, annual percentage interest rate, and number of payments necessary to obtain the advertised payment amount must be disclosed, in addition to any special qualifications required for obtaining the advertised terms including, but not limited to, “first-time buyer” discounts, “college graduate” discounts, and a statement concerning whether the advertised terms are subject to credit approval;

(c) If the payment or other information relates to a lease transaction, the total amount due from the purchaser at signing with such costs broken down and identified by category, lease term expressed in number of months, whether the lease is closed-end or open-end, and total cost to the lessee over the lease term in dollars;

[(13)] (12) Any advertisement which states or implies that the advertising dealer has a special arrangement or relationship with the distributor or manufacturer, as compared to similarly situated dealers, shall not be used;

[(14)] (13) Any advertisement which, in the circumstances under which it is made or applied, is false, deceptive, or misleading shall not be used;
