Modifies provisions relating to the admissibility of business records as evidence
SB 1320 modifies Missouri court rules to make electronic business records more easily admissible as evidence. It allows photocopies, digital scans, or other accurate reproductions of business records (like invoices or logs) to be used in court if accompanied by a written statement from the record keeper confirming their accuracy and regular business use. The bill requires parties to share these records and the statement with all other sides at least seven days before trial, and clarifies that electronic signatures or digital records won't invalidate the affidavit. This directly affects courts and legal cases involving business records, streamlining evidence presentation for modern digital documentation.
