Prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation

Summary

HJR 185 proposes adding a new Section 39 to Article I of the Missouri Constitution that would prohibit the state and its agencies from discriminating against individuals because of their sexual orientation. It also gives the General Assembly authority to pass laws enforcing this protection. The measure was referred to the Emerging Issues committee and ultimately failed to advance.
