Modifies provisions relating to unlawful discriminatory employment practices, limiting certain civil remedies
HB 2715 modifies Missouri's anti-discrimination law by allowing mandatory retirement at age 65 for executives or high policy-makers who meet specific pension requirements ($44,000+ annual benefit). It also clarifies that current illegal drug use does not count as a disability under the law, except for individuals in rehabilitation programs or successfully rehabilitated. The bill directly affects employers (including state entities), employees, and disability discrimination complainants by changing eligibility for protections and retirement policies. These changes refine definitions of "disability" and "age" in employment discrimination cases without altering broader anti-discrimination coverage.
