Limits criminal or civil liability when a person flees an unlawful or a riotous assemblage while in a motor vehicle

Summary

The bill replaces Missouri’s existing §537.130 with new language that shields anyone who tries to escape a riot or unlawful assembly in a motor vehicle from criminal or civil responsibility for injuries or deaths to participants, as long as they reasonably believe they are in danger and act with due care. It also keeps the rule that members of the unlawful assembly remain liable for any damage they cause. The measure failed to pass.
