MO SB699

Creates the "Sentencing and Corrections Oversight Commission" composed of 13 members to monitor implementation of sentencing and corrections policies, evaluate recidivism reductions and cost savings, and issue annual reports through August 28, 2018.

Establishes "earned compliance credits" allowing offenders on probation, parole, or conditional release to reduce their supervision term by 30 days per month of compliance for eligible Class C and D felonies and Chapter 195 offenses, with exclusions for violent and sexual crimes.

Authorizes probation and parole officers to order short-term detention (up to 48 hours initially, maximum 360 hours annually) as an alternative to revocation proceedings for probation violations, with counties reimbursed at least $30 per day.

Allows courts to place probation violators in 120-day Department of Corrections programs instead of revoking probation, with successful completion resulting in continued probation without modification for the same violation.

Creates the "Joint Committee on the Missouri Criminal Code" to study and harmonize Missouri's criminal statutes, with a report due December 31, 2012 (committee expires January 1, 2013).
