Modifies provisions relating to unlawful discriminatory practices
HB 1727 updates Missouri's anti-discrimination law by clarifying key definitions and protections. It allows mandatory retirement at age 65 for certain executives with substantial pension benefits (≥$44,000 annually), expands "disability" to include people in rehabilitation programs, and specifies that discrimination includes unfair treatment based on protected characteristics like age or disability - even if the assumption about those traits is incorrect. The law applies to employers (with 6+ employees), housing providers, and public accommodations like restaurants, hotels, and public facilities. It modifies how the Missouri Commission on Human Rights enforces these provisions.
