SB 559 Missouri Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides sovereign immunity for private contractors acting within the scope of a government contract

SB 559 grants private contractors sovereign immunity, which is protection from lawsuits. This immunity applies specifically when these contractors are acting within the scope of a contract with a government entity. Essentially, if a private company is performing services on behalf of the government as part of an official agreement, they would be shielded from certain legal actions, similar to how the government itself is protected.
