§568.060 – Abuse or neglect of a child
Officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC), the Department of Public Safety -
Missouri Highway PatrolDepartment of Social Services, the Missouri Office of
Prosecution Services, and the Office of the State Courts Administrator assume the proposal
will have no fiscal impact on their organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the
contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note.
The DOC states there was only one person released from FY 2019 through FY 2021 whose most
serious sentence was under section 568.060. The offense class was B and the person served 3.8
years in prison with the department.
Officials from the Office of the State Public Defender did not respond to Oversight’s request
for fiscal impact for this proposal.
