Hearing for HB 1067!
A public hearing has been tentatively set for HB 1067 on Wednesday, April 11. This is the bill to give parole hearings to prisoners with long sentences including Life Without Parole. This has been a priority of the Kansas City Criminal Justice Task Force for many years.
Rep. Mike McGhee, the bill's sponsor, has agreed to amend HB 1067 to add the proposal to change the 85 percent law, which Missouri CURE requested when we met with him March 1 in the Capitol.
The hearing, to be held at noon Wednesday in hearing room 4, won't be on the House calendar as final until noon on Tuesday, but many people are making plans to attend. If you wish to carpool from the Kansas City area, call Robin at 816-468-7894.
Thanks to all who contacted Reps. Tilley and Schad to get this bill moving. Our activism paid off!!!
(You can call Rep. Schad's office at 573-751-2077 after noon on April 10 to verify that the hearing will be held as planned on April 11.)
