*Oversight estimates the savings could exceed the $250,000 threshold. Oversight notes to reach
the $250,000 threshold, a reduction of 27 years of additional credit for time spent in prison, jail
or custody would be required at the estimated incarceration rate of $9,499 per year per prisoner
($250,000 / $9,499 = 26.3).

FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§558.031 – Credit for jail time
Officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) state this proposal modifies provisions
relating to jail-time credit. The department is unable to project a fiscal impact due to not
knowing the amount of “additional” credit that may be awarded.
Oversight notes the provisions of this proposal allow the court to award additional credit toward
the service of a sentence of imprisonment by changing the beginning of the credit accrual to after
the offense occurred. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a range of $0 (no additional credit
awarded) to DOC’s estimated unknown impact for fiscal note purposes.
Officials from the Office of the State Courts Administrator, the Branson Police Department,
the Kansas City Police Department, the St. Joseph Police DepartmentSt. Louis County
Police Department, and the Phelps County Sheriff’s Department assume the proposal will
have no fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the
contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions;
however, other circuit clerks and local law enforcement were requested to respond to this
proposed legislation but did not. A listing of political subdivisions included in the Missouri
Legislative Information System (MOLIS) database is available upon request.

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
CREDIT FOR JAIL TIME (Section 558.031)
This bill modifies provisions relating to credit toward the service of a sentence of imprisonment
by changing the beginning of the credit accrual to after the offense occurred, as opposed to the
current provision of after conviction. This credit must be based upon the certification of the
sheriff, and may be supplemented by a certificate of a sheriff or other custodial officer from
another jurisdiction having held the person on the charge of the offense for which the sentence is
ordered.
The court, when pronouncing sentence, may award additional credit for time spent in prison, jail,
or custody before the commencement of the sentence for those in which the person was
incarcerated, but for whom no detainer or warrant was served. The total amount of credit must
not be more than the number of days between the date of the offense and the commencement of
the sentence.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
