Establishes the "Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act"

HB 128 standardizes how Missouri courts handle legal requests (subpoenas) from other states for depositions or document production in civil cases. It requires parties to submit out-of-state subpoenas to a Missouri court clerk, who then issues a local subpoena mirroring the original request. The bill ensures these Missouri-issued subpoenas follow state service rules and court procedures, while preserving the original terms of the foreign subpoena. This directly affects lawyers, courts, and parties involved in cross-state civil litigation by creating uniform handling procedures.
