HB2056

Missouri HB2056 establishes the "Act Against Abusive and Predatory Website Access Litigation.

HB2056 aims to protect defendants from abusive litigation related to website access violations. It defines "abusive litigation" as litigation where the primary purpose is to obtain payment from the defendant. The bill mandates a ninety-day period for defendants to correct alleged violations before the court determines if the litigation is abusive. If the defendant attempts to correct the violation within thirty days, there is a rebuttable presumption that the litigation is abusive. The bill allows residents of Missouri to file civil actions against parties initiating abusive litigation.
