Governor Greitens signs Corlew’s expert witness bill
Governor Eric Greitens has signed HB 153, sponsored by Rep. Kevin Corlew Similar legislation was passed last year and vetoed by Governor Jay Nixon. This bill is different because it will not apply in work comp cases or other cases that do not involve a jury. In reality, the new standard really would have little or no impact in these cases anyway because the judge decides whether the testimony is credible under existing law and the new law expected to be signed today.
