SB 355 Missouri Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Repeals the expiration date for the Basic Civil Legal Services Fund

SB 355 repeals the expiration date for the Basic Civil Legal Services Fund, ensuring the fund remains operational indefinitely. This directly affects low-income individuals who rely on free civil legal services (like housing disputes or family law) and the legal aid organizations that provide them. The key provision removes a sunset clause, preventing the fund from automatically ending and allowing continued state funding for these essential services. The bill does not change the fund's purpose or eligibility criteria.
