HB 394 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to proceedings of the judicial finance commission

HB 394 modifies Missouri's State Legal Expense Fund to expand coverage for legal claims involving specific health care professionals and state employees. It adds coverage for state-employed doctors conducting disability reviews, contracted health providers at correctional facilities, volunteer physicians in community clinics (like free screenings), and school health workers providing primary care without compensation. The bill sets clear spending limits: $1 million per claim for certain physicians, and $500,000 for nurses, dentists, or school health providers. It explicitly excludes claims involving abortion services and clarifies that volunteer work without compensation qualifies for fund coverage under these limits.
