Prohibits discrimination on the basis of age

HJR 186 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would prohibit age discrimination by Missouri state agencies and their actions. If approved by voters, it would add a new section to the Missouri Constitution banning state discrimination based on age and granting the legislature authority to create laws enforcing this prohibition. The amendment does not specify particular age groups or create new state programs but would require state agencies to ensure their policies and services do not treat people differently due to age. This proposal is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and requires voter approval to become part of the state constitution.
