HB 714 -- Change of Venue Sponsor: Cooper (158) This bill allows the sheriff of the county granting a change of venue to a defendant and the sheriff of the county into which the cause is removed to make arrangements as to where the defendant will be jailed. If an agreement cannot be reached, the defendant will be housed in the county jail where the cause is removed. In the event the defendant remains housed in the county that granted the change of venue, that sheriff is responsible for the defendant's timely appearance.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
