DESCRIPTION
This proposal authorizes the Missouri Human Rights Commission to prevent discrimination based on a person's sexual orientation. The commission may investigate complaints alleging
discrimination in employment, housing, or places of public accommodation because of sexual orientation. The proposal defines sexual orientation as "male or female heterosexuality,
homosexuality or bisexuality by inclination, practice, identity or expression, or having a self-image or identity not traditionally associated with one's biological maleness or femaleness."
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program, and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
