HB 3144 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to injunctions

HB 3144 allows Missouri's Attorney General to appeal preliminary injunctions that prevent the state or statewide officials from implementing, enforcing, or carrying out Missouri laws, regulations, or the state constitution. This bill directly affects state agencies, officials, and the Attorney General's office by changing the legal process for challenging such court orders. The key provision requires courts to notify the Attorney General when a preliminary injunction is issued against state actions, giving them the right to appeal those rulings. It does not create new laws but modifies the appeals process for existing state litigation.
