MO HB2659

Division of probation and parole must award earned compliance credits to offenders on probation or conditional release for Class A, B, or C misdemeanors who comply with supervision conditions

Offenders earn 30 days credit toward their probation term for each full calendar month of compliance, with credits beginning to accrue after the first full month of supervision or October 1, 2016

Sentencing courts may find an offender ineligible for credits if the offense circumstances or offender's history indicate a longer supervision term is necessary for public protection

Credits do not accrue during months with violation reports or revocation motions, and all earned credits are rescinded if probation is revoked

Once combined time served and earned credits satisfy the probation term (minimum 6 months, maximum 2 years for misdemeanors), the court must order final discharge of the offender
