Missouri SB1320 modifies rules for admitting business records as evidence in court.

Missouri SB1320 changes the admissibility of business records in court. It allows records reproduced by various methods to be admissible if accompanied by an affidavit from a person with knowledge of the facts. The affidavit must state that the records were kept in the regular course of business and were made at or near the time of the event. The bill also specifies that the affidavit can use electronic or digital signatures and does not need to be notarized.
