Missouri HB3394 modifies damages for leaving open or down doors, bars, gates, or fences.

Missouri HB3394 repeals and replaces Section 537.350, RSMo, to change the damages owed for leaving open or down doors, bars, gates, or fences. The new law requires the person who leaves these structures open or down to pay the injured party one hundred dollars plus double the damages sustained. This applies to structures other than those leading into their own enclosure. The bill also mandates a six-month written notice to the adjoining field owner for removing partition fences.
