Efforts to change Missouri's statute of limitations did not progress during the recent legislative session. Proposed revisions to the state's legal time limits for filing cases were not enacted into law.

Legislators were unable to find common ground on the proposed alterations. As a result, the existing statute of limitations remains unchanged.

The failure to reach an agreement means the reform initiative has stalled. Full reporting is available from the original source.
