            57.290. 1. In cities and counties having a population of three hundred thousand inhabitants and over, each deputy sheriff, not more than two, shall be allowed for each day during the term of court six dollars, to be paid by the city or county of three hundred thousand inhabitants or over.

            2. For the services of taking convicted offenders to the reception and diagnostic center designated by the director of the department of corrections, the sheriff, county marshal or other officers shall receive the sum of eight dollars per day for the time actually and necessarily employed in traveling to and from the reception and diagnostic center, and each guard shall receive the sum of six dollars per day for the same, and the sheriff, county marshal or other officer and guard shall receive the mileage rate prescribed by this section for the distance necessarily traveled in going to and returning from the reception and diagnostic center, the time and distance to be estimated by the most usually traveled route from the place of departure to the reception and diagnostic center; the mileage rate prescribed by this section for each mile traveled shall be allowed to the sheriff to cover all expenses on each convicted offender while being taken to the reception and diagnostic center; and all persons convicted and sentenced to imprisonment in the department of corrections at any term or sitting of the court, shall be taken to the reception and diagnostic center at the same time, unless prevented by sickness or unavoidable accident. In cities having a population of two hundred thousand inhabitants or more, convicted offenders shall be taken to the reception and diagnostic center as often as the sheriff deems necessary. When three or more convicted offenders are being taken to the reception and diagnostic center at one time, a guard may be employed, but no guard shall be employed for a less number of convicted offenders except upon the order, entered of record, of the judge of the court in which the conviction was had, and any additional guards employed by order of the judge shall, in no event, exceed one for every three convicted offenders; and before any claim for taking convicted offenders to the reception and diagnostic center is allowed, the sheriff, or other officer conveying such convicted offender, shall file with the state [commissioner of administration] director of the department of corrections an itemized statement of such sheriff's account, in which the sheriff shall give the name of each convicted offender conveyed and the name of each guard actually employed, with the number of miles necessarily traveled and the number of days required, which in no case shall exceed three days, and which account shall be signed and sworn to by such officer and accompanied by a certificate from the chief administrative officer or such officer's designee of the reception and diagnostic center, that such convicted offenders have been delivered at the reception and diagnostic center and were accompanied by each of the officers and guards named in the account.

            3. The sheriff or other officer who shall take a person, charged with a criminal offense, from the county in which the offender is apprehended to that in which the offense was committed, or who may remove a prisoner from one county to another for any cause authorized by law, or who shall have in custody or under such sheriff's or officer's charge any person undergoing an examination preparatory to such person's commitment more than one day for transporting, safekeeping and maintaining any such person, shall be allowed by the court having cognizance of the offense, three dollars and fifty cents per day for every day such sheriff or officer may have such person under such sheriff's or officer's charge, when the number of days shall exceed one, and the mileage rate prescribed by this section for every mile necessarily traveled in going to and returning from one county to another, and the guard employed, who shall in no event exceed the number allowed the sheriff, marshal or other officer in transporting convicted offenders to the reception and diagnostic center, shall be allowed the same compensation as the officer. Three dollars and fifty cents per day, mileage same as officer, shall be allowed for board and all other expenses of each prisoner. No compensation shall be allowed under this section for taking the prisoner or prisoners from one place to another in the same county, excepting in counties which have two or more courts with general criminal jurisdiction. In such counties the sheriff shall have the same fees for conveying prisoners from the jail to place of trial as are allowed for conveying prisoners in like cases from one county to another, and the expenses incurred in transporting prisoners from one county to another, occasioned by the insufficiency of the county jail or threatened mob violence, shall be paid by the county in which such case may have originated; provided that the court is held at a place more than five miles from the jail; and no court shall allow the expense of a guard, although it may have actually been incurred, unless from the evidence of disinterested persons it shall be satisfied that a guard was necessary; provided, that when the place of conviction is remote from a railroad, upon which a convicted offender may be transported to the reception and diagnostic center, the court before which such convicted offender is sentenced may, for good cause shown, allow one guard for every two convicted offenders, such guard to receive three dollars a day and the mileage rate prescribed by this section for every mile necessarily traveled in going to and returning from the nearest depot on said railroad to the place where such convicted offender was sentenced.

The general assembly, giving due consideration to the historical and continuing interest of the people of the state of Missouri in encouraging the educational and cultural enrichment of its residents, finds that public television stations, especially with local programming, contribute significantly to such enrichment, are a valuable state resource, and consequently that support of public television is an important public purpose.

As used in sections 185.200 to 185.230, the term "public television station" means a television broadcasting station operating as of January 1, 1980, under authority of section 73.621 of the Federal Communications Commission rules and regulations as a noncommercial educational or public television station, owned and operated by a political subdivision of this state, an educational institution of this state, or by a not-for-profit corporation, accepting or broadcasting no commercial messages, and receiving all or part of its operating revenues from public funds, federal funds, donations or grants, or public subscriptions.

At least twenty percent of the state funds received under sections 185.200 to 185.230 by any public television station shall be used for instructional television services to be provided through local agreements. A substantial portion of the state funds received under this or any other act by any public television station shall be used for local programming related to the needs and problems of the community served by the broadcast licensee. The grants shall be divided into two categories, an annual basic service grant and an operating grant. The basic service grant shall be equal to thirty-five percent of the total amount appropriated and shall be divided equally among the public television stations receiving grants. The remaining amount of the appropriation shall be distributed as an operating grant to the stations on the basis of the proportion that the total operating expenses of the individual station in the prior fiscal year bears to the aggregate total of operating expenses for the same fiscal year for all Missouri public television stations receiving state grants. State funds received by a public television station under sections 185.200 to 185.230 and not expended shall be returned to the state of Missouri.

            185.215. The amount of any state funding provided by sections 185.200 to 185.230 shall not exceed thirty percent of the operating expenditures for the previous year of the public television station receiving said grant.

For purposes of this subsection, the provisions of paragraphs (c) and (d) of subdivision (1) of subsection 2 of this section and paragraphs (c) and (d) of subdivision (1) of subsection 3 of this section that apply to the state retirement plan shall also apply to the transportation department and highway patrol retirement system.

            8. (1) Any juvenile officer who is employed as a state employee in a multicounty circuit on or after July 1, 1999, shall not be eligible to participate in the state retirement plan as provided by this section unless such juvenile officer elects to:

            (a) Receive retirement benefits from the state retirement plan based on all years of service as a juvenile officer and a final average salary which shall include salary paid by the county and the state; and

            (b) Forfeit any county retirement benefits from any county retirement plan based on service rendered as a juvenile officer.

            (2) Upon making the election described in this subsection, the county retirement plan shall transfer to the state retirement plan an amount equal to the actuarial accrued liability for the forfeited creditable service determined as if the person was going to continue to be an active member of the county retirement plan, less the amount of any refunds of member contributions.

            9. The elections described in this section shall be made on forms developed and made available by the state retirement plan.

            221.105. 1. The governing body of any county and of any city not within a county shall fix the amount to be expended for the cost of incarceration of prisoners confined in jails or medium security institutions. The per diem cost of incarceration of these prisoners chargeable by the law to the state shall be determined, subject to the review and approval of the [office of administration] department of corrections.

            2. When the final determination of any criminal prosecution shall be such as to render the state liable for costs under existing laws, it shall be the duty of the sheriff to certify to the clerk of the circuit court or court of common pleas in which the case was determined the total number of days any prisoner who was a party in such case remained in the county jail. It shall be the duty of the county commission to supply the cost per diem for county prisons to the clerk of the circuit court on the first day of each year, and thereafter whenever the amount may be changed. It shall then be the duty of the clerk of the court in which the case was determined to include in the bill of cost against the state all fees which are properly chargeable to the state. In any city not within a county it shall be the duty of the superintendent of any facility boarding prisoners to certify to the chief executive officer of such city not within a county the total number of days any prisoner who was a party in such case remained in such facility. It shall be the duty of the superintendents of such facilities to supply the cost per diem to the chief executive officer on the first day of each year, and thereafter whenever the amount may be changed. It shall be the duty of the chief executive officer to bill the state all fees for boarding such prisoners which are properly chargeable to the state. The chief executive may by notification to the [office of administration] department of corrections delegate such responsibility to another duly sworn official of such city not within a county. The clerk of the court of any city not within a county shall not include such fees in the bill of costs chargeable to the state. The [office of administration] department of corrections shall revise its criminal cost manual in accordance with this provision.

            3. The actual costs chargeable to the state, including those incurred for a prisoner who is incarcerated in the county jail because the prisoner's parole or probation has been revoked or because the prisoner has, or allegedly has, violated any condition of the prisoner's parole or probation, and such parole or probation is a consequence of a violation of a state statute, or the prisoner is a fugitive from the Missouri department of corrections or otherwise held at the request of the Missouri department of corrections regardless of whether or not a warrant has been issued shall be the actual cost of incarceration not to exceed:

            (1) Until July 1, 1996, seventeen dollars per day per prisoner;

            (2) On and after July 1, 1996, twenty dollars per day per prisoner;

            (3) On and after July 1, 1997, up to thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents per day per prisoner, subject to appropriations, but not less than the amount appropriated in the previous fiscal year.

            550.190. The prosecuting attorney shall strictly examine each bill of costs which shall be delivered to him, as provided in section 550.140, for allowance against the state or county, and shall ascertain as far as possible whether the services have been rendered for which the charges are made, and whether the fees charged are expressly given by law for such services, or whether greater charges are made than the law authorizes. If the fee bill has been made out according to law, or if not, after correcting all errors therein, he shall report the same to the judge of the court, either in term or in vacation, and if the same appears to be formal and correct, the judge and prosecuting attorney shall certify to the [commissioner of administration] director of the department of corrections, or clerk of the county commission, accordingly as the state or county is liable, the amount of costs due by the state or county on the fee bill, and deliver the same to the clerk who made it out, to be collected without delay, and paid over to those entitled to the fees allowed.

            550.200. The original fee bill, signed by the judge and prosecuting attorney, shall be sent by the clerk to the [commissioner of administration] director of the department of corrections or county commission, as the case may be, and the clerk shall make out, under his hand and seal, a true and certified copy of the same, which shall be carefully preserved by the clerk in his office, and shall be prima facie evidence of the facts therein stated.

            550.210. When a fee bill shall be certified to the [commissioner of administration] director of the department of corrections for payment, the certificate of the judge and prosecuting attorney shall contain a statement of the following facts: That they have strictly examined the bill of costs; that the defendant was convicted or acquitted, and if convicted, the nature and extent of punishment assessed, or the cause continued generally, as the case may be; that the offense charged is a capital one, or punishable solely by imprisonment in the penitentiary, as the case may be; that the services were rendered for which charges are made, and that the fees charged are expressly authorized by law, and that they are properly taxed against the proper party, and that the fees of no more than three witnesses to prove any one fact are allowed. In cases in which the defendant is convicted, the judge and prosecuting attorney shall certify, in addition to the foregoing facts, that the defendant is insolvent, and that no costs charged in the fee bill, fees for the cost of incarceration, including a reasonable sum to cover occupancy costs, excepted, were incurred on the part of the defendant.

            550.220. Each and every bill of costs presented to any county commission for allowance shall be examined and certified to by the judge and prosecuting attorney in the same manner, all necessary charges excepted, as provided for certifying bills of costs to the [commissioner of administration] director of the department of corrections for payment; and any county commissioner who shall pay, or vote to pay, any costs incurred in any criminal case or proceeding, unless the same is so certified to, shall be adjudged guilty of a misdemeanor.

            550.230. When the clerk shall send a bill of costs to the [commissioner of administration] director of the department of corrections or county commission, as provided in section 550.200, he shall expressly state in his certificate that he has not at any previous time certified or sent a copy of the same bill, or part thereof, for payment; provided, that if the clerk shall, by oversight or mistake, fail to include any costs properly chargeable against the state or county in any fee bill, he may make out and present, as herein provided for making out bills of costs, a supplemental bill for the costs so omitted; provided, that the clerk shall in no case charge or receive any fee or fees whatsoever for the issuance of such supplemental fee bill.

            550.260. 1. All criminal court cost bills shall be certified for payment as herein provided, and in addition thereto the circuit clerks of each county shall make copies of all original criminal court cost bills certified to the [commissioner of administration] director of the department of corrections for payment, and shall file the same with the treasurers of their respective counties, and the city of St. Louis, at the time of transmitting the original for payment.             2. When criminal court cost bills are certified to the [commissioner of administration] director of the department of corrections, warrants shall be drawn on the state treasurer as provided by law, provided that the amounts due to the state contained within such criminal court cost bills may be withheld by the state before payment is made to the counties. Costs payable to the state contained in such criminal costs bills shall not be reimbursed to the counties, but the county shall be reimbursed only for those costs payable to the county. Payment shall be transmitted to the treasurer of the county from whence the bill originated, or the city of St. Louis. When any criminal cost bill shall be certified to the county commission or the comptroller of the city of St. Louis, for payment, the county clerk, or the comptroller of the city of St. Louis, when the same is allowed, shall draw a warrant on the county treasurer or city treasurer in payment thereof, and deliver the same to the county treasurer, or to the treasurer of the city of St. Louis, together with a list of the names of the various parties to whom the fees are due, stating the amount due each person.

            3. The treasurers, on receipt of any such warrants and criminal court cost bills, shall record the criminal court cost bills in a well-bound book arranged with appropriate headings, so that the same shall correspond, as near as may be, with the accounts required to be kept by other officers in section 50.470, RSMo.

[37.200. The general assembly, giving due consideration to the historical and continuing interest of the people of the state of Missouri in encouraging the educational and cultural enrichment of its residents, finds that public television stations, especially with local programming, contribute significantly to such enrichment, are a valuable state resource, and consequently that support of public television is an important public purpose.]

 

[37.205. As used in sections 37.200 to 37.230, the term "public television station" means a television broadcasting station operating as of January 1, 1980, under authority of section 73.621 of the Federal Communications Commission rules and regulations as a noncommercial educational or public television station, owned and operated by a political subdivision of this state, an educational institution of this state, or by a not-for-profit corporation, accepting or broadcasting no commercial messages, and receiving all or part of its operating revenues from public funds, federal funds, donations or grants, or public subscriptions.]

 

[37.210. The general assembly may appropriate funds to the commissioner of administration for use as grants to public television stations. Such grants shall be distributed to each of the public television stations in this state after receipt of the station's certification of operating and programming expenses for the prior fiscal year. Certification shall consist of the most recent fiscal year financial statement submitted by a station to the corporation for public broadcasting. At least twenty percent of the state funds received under sections 37.200 to 37.230 by any public television station shall be used for instructional television services to be provided through local agreements. A substantial portion of the state funds received under this or any other act by any public television station shall be used for local programming related to the needs and problems of the community served by the broadcast licensee. The grants shall be divided into two categories, an annual basic service grant and an operating grant. The basic service grant shall be equal to thirty-five percent of the total amount appropriated and shall be divided equally among the public television stations receiving grants. The remaining amount of the appropriation shall be distributed as an operating grant to the stations on the basis of the proportion that the total operating expenses of the individual station in the prior fiscal year bears to the aggregate total of operating expenses for the same fiscal year for all Missouri public television stations receiving state grants. State funds received by a public television station under sections 37.200 to 37.230 and not expended shall be returned to the state of Missouri.]

 

[37.215. The amount of any state funding provided by sections 37.200 to 37.230 shall not exceed thirty percent of the operating expenditures for the previous year of the public television station receiving said grant.]

 

[37.220. Eligible public television stations desiring to receive grants under the provisions of section 37.200 to 37.230 shall make an annual application to the commissioner of administration and submit a certification of its actual operating and programming expenses for the previous fiscal year.]

 

[37.225. Each public television station receiving grants under the provisions of sections 37.200 to 37.230 shall furnish the commissioner of administration and the oversight division of the committee on legislative research within sixty days after the end of each fiscal year with an annual report and accounting of the funds received and expended by such stations during the just ended fiscal year and may furnish recommendations and suggestions for improvement in programs and services under the provisions of sections 37.200 to 37.230.]

 

[37.230. The amount appropriated as grants under the provisions of section 37.200 to 37.230 shall not be more than the sum of fifty cents multiplied by the total number of residents of the state as determined by the most recent federal decennial census.]

            Section B. Because immediate action is necessary to ensure the effective transfer of state services, section A of this act is deemed necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, welfare, peace and safety, and is hereby declared to be an emergency act within the meaning of the constitution, and section A of this act shall be in full force and effect on July 1, 2006, or upon its passage and approval, whichever later occurs.
