DESCRIPTION

This proposal would require any person injured as a result of a defect in any
constitutional charter city's property to notify the mayor of that city, in
writing, within ninety days of the injury.  If no notice is given, the person
loses his cause of action against the city.  Current law makes the provisions
of this act (section 82.210, RSMo) applicable to any city in Missouri which
has a population of 100,000 or which may attain this population.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
