HB 2083 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to immunity from criminal liability for health care providers

HB 2083 creates legal immunity from criminal liability for health care providers in Missouri when delivering services, directly affecting doctors, nurses, and other licensed professionals working in health facilities. The bill states providers cannot be criminally charged for harm arising from their care, except in cases of gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or willful harm. It clarifies this immunity does not override existing civil liability rules or other legal protections. The law specifically applies to services covered under Missouri’s health care licensing statutes (sections 324.050-324.089, 190, 198, 330-338, and 376.1350 definitions).
