Establishes the Uniform Public Expression Protection Act, which provides procedures for dismissal of actions based on public expression

Summary

The bill replaces dozens of existing Missouri statutes with 35 new sections that reshape workers’ compensation calculations, employer mesothelioma liability, limited‑liability‑company series structure, court fee schedules, and subpoena rules. Its centerpiece, the Uniform Public Expression Protection Act, gives parties a fast‑track way to have lawsuits dismissed when they arise from constitutionally protected expression. The changes affect employees, employers, LLC owners, courts, and any litigant asserting free‑speech rights.
