HJR 193 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability

HJR 193 proposes adding a constitutional amendment to Missouri's Constitution that prohibits the state or any state agency from discriminating against individuals based on physical or mental disability. This amendment would require voter approval in 2026 (or a special election) before taking effect. If adopted, it would give the Missouri legislature the authority to create laws enforcing this anti-discrimination protection. The amendment directly affects all state government actions and programs, ensuring they cannot deny services or benefits due to disability. This is a constitutional change, not a regular law, so it would require voter approval rather than a legislative vote.
