HB 2256 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the statute of limitation on an action for sexual conduct

This bill proposes to extend the time limit for filing lawsuits regarding sexual conduct against specific family members. It directly affects adults aged 18 or older who have been subjected to sexual contact by relatives within the third degree of affinity or consanguinity. Under the current law, victims have a set period to seek damages for personal injury, but this legislation would lengthen that window for these particular cases. The change aims to provide more time for individuals to pursue legal action for harm caused by close relatives.
