SB 194 - Currently, Section 595.209, RSMo, provides crime victims the right to be notified, upon written request, of certain information regarding the offender. This information includes notification of any decision by a parole board, juvenile releasing authority, or circuit court presiding over release pursuant to Chapter 552. This act would also provide for notification of any decision by a circuit court presiding over release under Section 558.016, RSMo, or Section 217.362, RSMo. Currently, Section 558.016, RSMo, provides for the sentencing of prior or persistent offenders. It also allows nonviolent offenders, who have committed a class C or D felony and have no prior prison commitments, to be released after 120 days in order to complete the sentence on probation or parole, or other court-approved alternative sentence. Currently, Section 217.362, RSMo, provides that a court may sentence certain offenders (non violent and not prior/persistent offenders) to drug or alcohol treatment. SUSAN HENDERSON
