Signed by Governor
Summary
The bill lets people sue Missouri public entities and the Department of Transportation for certain negligent acts, especially vehicle accidents and unsafe property conditions. It creates new statutory causes of action against MoDOT agents for design and construction issues, but caps total damages at $2 million per incident and $300 k per person, and bans punitive damages. It also requires the state and local governments to buy limited liability insurance and forbids contractors from having to indemnify the state.
