HB 486 -- SEX OFFENDER TREATMENT (Bruns) COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN: Crime Prevention and Public Safety Currently, a person who provides assessment services for the state in sexual offender cases cannot be related within the third degree of consanguinity or affinity to any person who has a financial interest in a sex offender counseling program. This bill removes that prohibition when there is only one qualified service provider within a reasonably accessible distance from the offender. FISCAL NOTE: No impact on state funds in FY 2006, FY 2007, and FY 2008.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
