Bill > HB2829

This bill amends Chapter 407 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo) by adding a new section, 407.028, which requires that any claim brought under sections 407.010 to 407.315, concerning consumer protection laws, can only be subject to arbitration if both parties involved explicitly agree to it in a separate written agreement. Arbitration is a process where a neutral third party, the arbitrator, hears both sides of a dispute and makes a binding decision, often used as an alternative to going to court. This provision aims to ensure that consumers are not unknowingly agreeing to arbitration for certain disputes by requiring a distinct and clear agreement for such a process.
