SB 1618 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Provides appeals of preliminary injunctions issued by circuit or associate circuit judges

SB 1618 allows any party subject to a preliminary injunction issued by a circuit or associate circuit judge to directly appeal that order. Previously, only the state or statewide officials could appeal such injunctions; this bill expands the right to appeal to all parties affected. The key change is enabling immediate appeals of preliminary injunctions (before final court decisions) in any case, including those involving the state, statutes, or regulations. This procedural update affects defendants who face temporary court orders halting their actions, giving them a faster path to challenge those orders.
