House reads three measures on abuse claims, physician titles and NDAs
Summary
The Missouri House clerk read three measures for the first time Jan. 29: House Joint Resolution 79 on retrospective childhood-abuse claims, House Bill 1130 on reserved medical titles for physicians, and House Bill 1131 on nondisclosure agreements in childhood-abuse cases. No floor votes were recorded on the measures during the session.
The Missouri House of Representatives on Jan. 29 received first readings of three measures addressing retrospective civil claims, professional titles and nondisclosure agreements.
House Joint Resolution 79, introduced by Representative Parker, was read by the clerk as an act “relating to retrospective laws involving civil childhood abuse claims.” House Bill 1130, introduced by Representative Loy, was read as an act “relating to titles or designations reserved for the use of licensed physicians.” House Bill 1131, introduced by Representative Parker, was read as an act “relating to nondisclosure agreements in childhood abuse cases.” The measures were presented to the chamber on first reading; no votes or further action on the measures were recorded during the session.
The clerk performed the reading of the measures at the direction of the House. Because the reading was the first formal step on each measure, the bills remain at the introduction stage pending committee referral, committee action or later floor consideration.
No sponsors spoke on the measures on the floor during the reading, and no amendments or motions were offered at that time.
What happens next depends on committee assignments and scheduling by House leadership; the transcript does not specify committees, referral status or any hearing dates for the measures.
