Allows retrospective laws for certain civil actions relating to sexual abuse of a child
SJR 93 proposes a constitutional amendment to Missouri's Constitution, allowing civil lawsuits for childhood sexual abuse to be filed retroactively. It would permit retrospective civil claims against abusers for victims under 18, removing time limits that would otherwise bar such cases. This change would directly affect survivors of childhood sexual abuse by enabling them to pursue civil action for past incidents that were previously time-barred under Missouri law. The amendment would require voter approval before taking effect.
