SB 118 Missouri Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes school districts and charter schools to employ or accept chaplains as volunteers

SB 118 would allow public school districts and charter schools to legally employ or accept chaplains as volunteers. The bill directly affects schools by providing a clear authorization for chaplains to provide spiritual support, counseling, or religious services within school settings. This is a procedural authorization enabling schools to formally integrate chaplain services without violating existing policies, though it does not require schools to implement such programs.
