Modifies provisions relating to injunctions
HB 3160 modifies Missouri's rules for appealing preliminary injunctions. It allows any party enjoined by a circuit or associate circuit judge (such as a business or individual) to appeal the injunction, expanding appeal rights beyond the current system. The bill also clarifies that the state attorney general can appeal preliminary injunctions against the state or statewide officials, including those issued before August 28, 2025. These changes directly affect state officials, legal parties in court cases, and the process for challenging court orders that stop laws or regulations from taking effect. The bill replaces existing provisions in Missouri law regarding injunction appeals.
