Bill Summary
Prohibits settlements that conflict with certain RSMo sections and allows the general assembly to intervene in certain civil actions
AI Summary
This bill prohibits settlements in civil actions that conflict with certain sections of the Missouri Revised Statutes (RSMo), specifically chapters 115, 116, 122, or 128. The bill, known as the "Legislative Intervention Act," also allows the Missouri General Assembly, through the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, to intervene in any civil action where the constitutionality or validity of a statute is challenged. This allows the legislative branch to defend such statutes and obtain private legal counsel for this purpose, with the costs paid from appropriated funds.
