HB 883 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to civil actions for childhood sexual abuse

HB 883 modifies Missouri's statute of limitations for civil lawsuits related to childhood sexual abuse. It repeals the previous rule requiring such cases to be filed within 10 years of turning 21 or within 3 years of discovering the abuse, and instead allows lawsuits to be filed "at any time." This change directly affects survivors of childhood sexual abuse who wish to pursue civil claims for physical or psychological injuries. The bill applies to all cases filed on or after August 28, 2004, removing time restrictions for these specific claims.
