§ 144.637 Rules

This rule tells the Department of Corrections and the State Board of Parole and Post-Prison Supervision to work together and create official guidelines. These two agencies also need to talk with local supervision authorities before finalizing anything.

The guidelines must cover two things. First, they need to explain how officials will identify offenders who count as sexually violent and dangerous. Second, they need to spell out how these offenders will be supervised once they're back in the community, using a more intense level of monitoring than typical supervision.

In simple terms, this rule sets up the framework for spotting high risk sex offenders and keeping closer tabs on them after release. It does not create the specific rules itself. Instead, it directs the agencies to build that system and put it into practice.
