HB 2399 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates a bill of rights for the unhoused

HB 2399 would establish specific rights for people experiencing homelessness in the state, directly affecting unhoused individuals. The bill guarantees six key rights: the freedom to move freely in public spaces (including parks and sidewalks), equal treatment by government agencies, access to emergency medical care, reasonable privacy for personal belongings, the right to vote and obtain identity documents, and protection against unauthorized disclosure of personal records. These provisions aim to ensure unhoused residents receive the same fundamental rights as other citizens without discrimination. Currently pending in the House (prefiled January 2026, read twice in January), the bill has not yet been voted on or passed.
