HB 1664 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to statutes of limitation

HB 1664 extends the time window for survivors of childhood sexual abuse to file civil lawsuits in Missouri. It allows claims to be filed within 20 years after turning 21 or within 3 years of discovering the abuse caused their injury, whichever is later. The bill also voids any nondisclosure agreements in these cases, making them unenforceable in court. This applies to actions arising on or after January 1, 2026, directly affecting survivors seeking legal recourse for abuse occurring before age 18.
