Modifies provisions relating to unlawful discriminatory employment practices, limiting certain civil remedies
HB 1145 modifies Missouri's anti-discrimination law by allowing employers to require retirement at age 65 for executives or high policy-making employees who meet specific pension criteria (a combined annual benefit of at least $44,000 from employer plans). It also clarifies that a person successfully rehabilitated from substance use is not considered to be "currently illegally using" a controlled substance under disability protections. The bill directly affects older workers in executive roles and individuals seeking disability accommodations, while maintaining existing prohibitions against discrimination based on race, gender, age (outside the retirement exception), disability, and other protected classes.
