After a storm in Missouri: what state rules say
Summary of Missouri rules from research notes, with sources. Not legal advice.
Door-to-door and out-of-town contractors
No Missouri storm-chaser registration law was found. The main storm rules are RSMo 407.725 (insurance-funded work: no deductible rebates, no claim negotiation, cancellation right after claim denial) and the door-to-door rules (RSMo 407.700-407.720). The Attorney General warns about door-to-door storm chasers and enforces fraud cases under the Merchandising Practices Act. Out-of-state contractors face the transient employer bond (RSMo 285.230).
