Modifies provisions relating to unlawful discriminatory practices and establishes the "Missouri Fair Housing Act"

HB 1395 establishes Missouri's "Fair Housing Act" by overhauling state law to prohibit discrimination in housing and employment based on protected characteristics like race, religion, disability, sex, age, and familial status. The bill adds explicit protections for families with children (including pregnant individuals) and updates disability definitions to include people recovering from substance use disorders through rehabilitation programs. It clarifies that housing providers, landlords, and employers (including state entities) must comply with these anti-discrimination standards, covering rental properties, public accommodations, and hiring practices. The law replaces outdated provisions with new sections to modernize enforcement and align with broader civil rights protections.
