Prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or veteran status

HB 1460 amends Missouri's anti-discrimination law to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and veteran status in both employment and housing. The bill updates the definition of "discrimination" to include these categories alongside existing protections like race, sex, and disability, which were not previously covered for sexual orientation, gender identity, or veteran status. This affects employers with six or more employees and housing providers by requiring them to avoid discriminatory practices based on these protected characteristics. Individuals facing such discrimination can file complaints with the Missouri Commission on Human Rights under the updated law.
