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

HB 2455 replaces Missouri's existing anti-discrimination laws with a new Missouri Fair Housing Act framework. It expands protections to prohibit housing discrimination based on familial status (e.g., families with children) and clarifies "disability" to include individuals successfully in rehabilitation programs. The bill creates 28 new sections defining prohibited practices in both employment and housing, including updated terms for protected characteristics like race, religion, and disability. This directly affects landlords, employers, and residents across Missouri by establishing clearer standards for fair housing and workplace practices.
