Prohibits discrimination on the basis of race
HJR 184 proposes a constitutional amendment to Missouri's Article I, prohibiting state and local government agencies from discriminating against individuals based on race. This amendment would require voter approval in a future election (no later than November 2026) before taking effect. If adopted, it would give the Missouri legislature the authority to create laws enforcing this anti-discrimination provision. The bill directly affects all state agencies, programs, and policies subject to constitutional review, ensuring racial discrimination is barred in government actions.
