  • Mandates that when a detained person is wanted by multiple jurisdictions within 30 miles, the holding jurisdiction must notify other jurisdictions of impending release in order of proximity

  • Allows jurisdictions 4 hours to retrieve a wanted person after notification; if they fail to do so, the holding jurisdiction may transport the person to the next nearest jurisdiction where they are wanted

  • Authorizes convicted persons to be charged $1 per mile and $25 per hour (or fraction thereof) for transportation costs, which are taxed as court costs and remitted to the transporting jurisdiction

  • Permits the Missouri Supreme Court to establish alternative reasonable transportation fees from time to time
