Modifies provisions relating to civil actions for unlawful discriminatory practices and prohibits discrimination on the basis of race and associated traits

HB 1094 revises Missouri's anti-discrimination law by updating key definitions to improve clarity and consistency. It defines "discrimination" as actions taken due to race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, age (in employment), disability, or familial status (in housing). The bill clarifies that "disability" excludes current illegal drug use but includes individuals who have successfully completed rehabilitation or are participating in a supervised program. These changes will directly affect employers, housing providers, and the Missouri Commission on Human Rights in handling complaints under the law.
