Creates the Missouri Religious Liberty Act, which prohibits certain orders regarding religious groups or places of worship
SB 1077, the Missouri Religious Liberty Act, prohibits Missouri public officials from issuing orders that limit or ban religious services at places of worship or religious gatherings. It directly affects state and local government officials who cannot restrict religious activities, including services held in buildings or grounds used for worship. The law explicitly excludes cases involving planned violence or harm and clarifies that places of worship must still comply with standard building and fire safety codes. This bill aims to prevent government restrictions on religious assembly based on the state's constitutional principles.
