A prosecuting or circuit attorney may request a hearing within 30 days of the filing of a notification of earned discharge. If the state opposes the discharge, the prosecuting or circuit attorney shall argue the earned discharge is not appropriate and the defendant should continue to serve the probation term. Such hearing shall be held no later than 60 days after the filing of the notification.

If the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the earned discharge is not appropriate, the court shall order the probation term to be continued, may modify the conditions of the probation, and may order continued supervision by the Division or the court.

• Be free from intimidation, harassment, and abuse in any related criminal or civil proceeding and the right to reasonable protection from the offender.

Additionally, this act provides that a survivor must be informed of the survivor's rights by a medical provider, law enforcement officer, and a prosecuting attorney in a timely manner. A document shall be developed by the Department of Public Safety, in collaboration with certain Missouri-based stakeholders, which shall be provided to a sexual assault survivor explaining the survivor's rights. The document shall include:

• A description of the rights of the sexual assault survivor pursuant to this act; and

• Telephone and internet means for contacting a local rape crisis center.

This act repeals duplicate rights found in other provisions of current law. Additionally, this act repeals the requirement that a law enforcement officer shall upon written request provide a free, complete, and unaltered copy of all law enforcement reports concerning the sexual assault within 14 days to the survivor.

These provisions are identical to provisions in SCS/HB 2697, et al (2022), SS/SCS/SB 850 (2022), and HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 775, 751, & 640 (2022).

CLOSED RECORDS OF VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT (Section 595.226)

Under current law, certain identifiable information of victims of domestic assault or stalking shall be closed and redacted from public record. This act adds that such identifiable information shall also include, but shall not be limited to, the victim's personal email address, birth date, health status, or any information from a forensic testing report.

This act also repeals provisions relating to when a court may disclose such identifying information of a victim and provides that any person who is requesting identifying information of a victim and who has a legitimate interest in obtaining such information, may petition the court for an in camera inspection of the records. If the court determines the person is entitled to all or any part of such records, the court may order production and disclosure of the records, but only if the court determines that the disclosure to the person or entity would not compromise the welfare or safety of the victim.

These provisions are identical to provisions in SCS/HB 2697, et al (2022), SS/SCS/SB 850 (2022), and HCS/SS/SCS/SBs 775, 751, & 640 (2022).

BATTERER INTERVENTION PROGRAM (Section 595.320)

If a judge orders a person convicted of domestic assault to undergo a batterer intervention program, such person shall be financially responsible for any costs associated with attending such class.

These provisions are identical to provisions in HB 1699 (2022) and substantially similar to provisions in SB 1127 (2022).

PUBLIC DEFENDER FUND (Section 600.042)

Under current law, any funds available from government grants, private gifts, donations, bequests, or other sources made to the Office of the Public Defender are deposited in the general revenue fund of the state.

This act creates the "Public Defender - Federal and Other Fund" in the state treasury and provides that funding from any government grants, private gifts, donations, bequests, or other sources shall be deposited into such fund.

This provision is identical to SB 1039 (2022).

CIVIL DETENTIONS (Section 632.305)

Currently, an application for civil detention for evaluation and treatment may be executed by any adult on a form provided by the court. Such form shall allege that the applicant has reason to believe that the respondent is suffering from a mental disorder and presents a likelihood of serious harm to themselves. Under this act, such form shall not be required to be notarized.

These provisions are identical to SCS/SB 1109 (2022).
