Provides sovereign immunity for private contractors acting within the scope of a government contract

Summary

It replaces the current tort‑immunity statute with new language that keeps historic sovereign immunity, except for narrowly defined waivers. The new section extends that immunity to any private contractor or subcontractor working under a Missouri Department of Transportation contract, shielding them from most tort lawsuits while the work is underway and after the project is accepted. The measure failed to pass.
