Establishes the "Seventh Amendment Preservation Act"

HB 1588, known as the Seventh Amendment Preservation Act, aims to protect the right to a civil trial by jury in Missouri by declaring that state laws cannot restrict this right as it existed in 1822 or as expanded by subsequent constitutional amendments. The bill invalidates any existing or future federal or state rules that limit access to courts, cap jury awards, or impose restrictions on settlements and venue in civil cases. It also establishes personal liability for any government entity or individual who knowingly deprives a citizen of these constitutional trial rights, allowing for attorney's fees and costs to be awarded to the injured party.
