HCS HB 1631 & 1623 -- SUPERVISION OF PAROLED PERSONS

SPONSOR:  Wright (Dixon)

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Special
Committee on General Laws by a vote of 9 to 0.

This substitute repeals the provision of the law which requires
county superintendents of public welfare in third and fourth
classification counties to provide supervision for persons who
are on parole from the state penitentiary, the Missouri
Reformatory, and certain training schools.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2005, FY 2006, and
FY 2007.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that the section contains language
dating from the era of segregation, pertaining to institutions
that no longer exist.

Testifying for the bill were Representatives Dixon and Brooks.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
