Bill > SB677

This bill expands the jurisdiction of small claims courts in Missouri to include actions to recover personal property. Specifically, it amends existing law to allow small claims courts to hear cases involving the recovery of specific personal property, as long as the value of the property and any damages do not exceed the $5,000 jurisdictional limit for small claims cases. The bill also makes other changes to the procedures and rules that apply in small claims court proceedings, such as allowing the informal application of the rules of evidence and procedure, including the ability to question parties and witnesses directly.
