HB 2131 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Requires solicitation be clearly disclaimed as a solicitation for an order

This bill requires businesses sending order solicitations to clearly state that the document is not a bill or invoice, unless specific conditions are met. It mandates that a specific warning notice be printed in bold, capital letters on every page of the solicitation, placed directly below any mention of a monetary amount due. The law also sets strict formatting rules to ensure the warning is highly visible and cannot be hidden or obscured by other text or design elements. Finally, the bill establishes a penalty where violators must pay damages equal to three times the amount they attempted to collect.
