DESCRIPTION

At the present time, Section 82.210, RSMo, provides that no action for
damages shall be maintained for injuries growing out of any defect in the
condition of any bridge, boulevard, street, sidewalk or thoroughfare in any
Missouri city which has or which may reach a population of one hundred
thousand.

This act deletes the population figure and replaces it with "constitutional
charter city".

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