Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2024, $2,552,550)
Under this award, the Missouri Office of State Court Administrator (OSCA) requests funds to enhance the statewide court case management system (Show-Me Courts), conduct NICS background checks, and conduct an analysis of the statewide system responsible for tracking juvenile justice information. The enhancements to Show-Me Courts would implement case management tools for associate and circuit-level criminal case processing - particularly those tied to civil, family court, juvenile, and probate cases. In addition, OSCA requests funding to hire a contractor to conduct timely and accurate NICS background checks requested of juvenile and mental health cases. Lastly, funds are requested for contractual work to analyze the current juvenile justice data sharing system and make recommendations as to how and where it can be improved.
