HB 753 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Provides immunity from civil liability for disclosures by a charitable organization of allegations of sexual misconduct

HB 753 protects charitable organizations from lawsuits when they disclose allegations of sexual misconduct, abuse, harassment, or specific sexual offenses (under chapters 566 or 573) to other organizations or employees, provided the disclosure is made in good faith and believed to be true. The bill directly affects charities and their staff/volunteers who report such allegations. It does not grant immunity if the disclosure involves the reporter’s own abuse or is made with malicious intent. This bill aims to encourage reporting by reducing legal risks for organizations acting in good faith.
