Senate passes bill to stop opportunistic COVID-19 lawsuits
Emergency clause vote delays implementation, leaves employers at risk
A critical bill to protect Missouri employers from COVID-19 exposure lawsuits has been passed by the Missouri Senate. By a vote of 20-13, the bill now moves to the Missouri House of Representatives.
But while the Senate passed the legislation, senators failed to adopt an emergency clause by a vote of 19-15 — 23 yes votes are needed to pass an emergency clause, which allows legislation to go into effect immediately once signed into law by the governor. But without the clause, businesses would remain at risk of COVID-19 exposure lawsuits throughout the summer, until August 28, 2021.
