HB 2437 -- LIABILITY OF PRIVATE CONTRACTORS

SPONSOR: Van Schoiack

This bill provides private contractors and subcontractors the same sovereign or governmental tort immunity as a public entity when those contractors and subcontractors are acting within the scope of a government contract with the Missouri Department of Transportation. The immunity starts when official notice to proceed is given and will continue after the Department formally accepts the completed project.

This bill is similar to SB 916 (2026).
