MO HB1262

Requires defendants placed on probation to agree to searches of their person, property, residence, vehicle, and personal effects by probation officers with reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, with or without a warrant.

Allows defendants to refuse probation or parole conditioned on agreement to such searches, but if they refuse, the court must impose a sentence or other disposition instead and cannot place them on probation or parole.

Authorizes courts to impose probation conditions including restitution to victims, community service, treatment programs, work release, and community-based residential programs to compensate victims or society.

Permits courts to order defendants to pay up to $300 per offense to a county law enforcement restitution fund, but probation cannot be revoked solely for non-payment unless the defendant willfully refused or failed to make bona fide efforts to pay.

Clarifies that judges have no supervisory authority over restitution funds and that defendants performing community service are not considered employees under state law.
