Summary

The bill repeals the current five‑year limit for a range of lawsuits—including contract disputes, statutory liabilities, trespass, property takings, personal‑injury‑type claims, and fraud—and replaces it with a two‑year limit. Exceptions remain for certain contracts listed in section 516.110, court judgments, and other specifically limited cases. It aims to shorten the time plaintiffs have to file these actions.
