MO HB948

Abolishes the doctrine of adverse possession in Missouri, prohibiting any person from claiming title, estate, or interest in real property based upon adverse possession or instituting any action based on such a claim

Repeals multiple statutory sections that previously established adverse possession rights, including the 10-year limitation period for land recovery actions and provisions for possession under color of title

Removes "adverse possession" as a permitted method of property acquisition for ambulance districts, emergency services boards, nursing home districts, and hospital districts, while retaining other acquisition methods (dedication, purchase, gift, agreement, lease, use)

Amends environmental covenant law to remove adverse possession from the list of doctrines that cannot extinguish environmental covenants, while keeping prescription, abandonment, waiver, and similar doctrines

Modifies real property conveyance law by removing language acknowledging that property may be sold notwithstanding adverse possession, and eliminates the procedure for perfecting title acquired through limitation
