Bill Aimed To Protect Rape Victims From Prior Sex Testimony
In Jefferson City lawmakers advance a bill to bar evidence about a rape victim's prior sexual experiences unless the defense proves relevance to the judge, with a jury trial to hear only if deemed relevant.

A separate measure seeks reassessment of all Missouri real property to address inequities, allowing counties or firms to perform the review at an estimated $30 million cost.
