HB 1447 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Provides federal servicemembers civil relief act (SCRA) protections to National Guard members called to state duty

HB 1447 extends federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) protections to Missouri National Guard members and Missouri employees who are National Guard members of other states when called to active duty by their respective governors for state service. It ensures these individuals receive the same reemployment rights, protection from discrimination, and civil relief (like rent or debt relief) as those on federal duty under federal law. Employers must post a notice informing employees of these rights, and individuals can sue if denied protections or seek enforcement through the attorney general. The bill directly affects National Guard members activated for state emergencies or training, not federal deployments.
