A sexual abuse survivor resolution, Senate Joint Resolution 93 (SJR 93), has stalled in the Missouri Senate as it attempts to change laws surrounding statutes of limitations. The proposed law would allow survivors to retroactively file a civil suit against their abuser if passed by the House and Senate, subject to a statewide vote and would be entered into Missouri's Constitution. However, the governor has no role in passing a Senate joint resolution. Senate President Pro Tem Cindy O'Laughlin, who is in her last Senate term, has stated that she does not want to open Missouri to lawsuits and that her concerns about the credibility of survivors are procedural and legal in nature, not a comment on their rights. Three other pieces of legislation have been filed in 2025 regarding changing current state childhood sexual abuse laws, including House Bill 1664, which would extend the statute of limitations on filing civil lawsuits to 41 and possibly an amendment may be proposed to extend it further to 65. House Joint Resolution 130 would amend the Missouri Constitution to allow "retrospective laws" for civil cases involving childhood sex abuse.
