Modifies the statute of limitations for personal injury claims and childhood sexual abuse, injury, or illness

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill changes the time limits for filing certain lawsuits in Missouri. It removes "injury to the person or rights of another" from the five-year limit and adds a new two-year limit for these types of actions, including personal injury, starting August 28, 2026. The bill also extends the time limit for filing lawsuits related to childhood sexual abuse from ten years to twenty years after the plaintiff turns 21, or three years after discovery, whichever is later, and makes non-disclosure agreements in such cases unenforceable.
