Modifies provisions relating to sovereign immunity

Summary

The bill expands public‑entity immunity waivers to cover injuries caused by Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) agents driving on the job and to hold MoDOT liable for design or maintenance defects. It also creates a new cause of action against MoDOT agents, eliminates common‑law claims against private contractors, and prohibits indemnity requirements in state highway specifications. Finally, it narrows the definition of “purchase” of liability insurance for political subdivisions.
