Modifies provisions relating to the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act

Summary

The bill replaces the current Section 407.020 with a new version that defines a broader range of deceptive practices as unlawful and makes willful violations a Class E felony. It also creates civil liability for long‑term care facilities that refuse to provide quality‑of‑care documents, allowing damages of up to $1,000 per violation. The changes aim to strengthen consumer protection and transparency in both commerce and residential care.
