SB1276

Missouri SB1276 prohibits discrimination in public entities based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, ancestry, or national origin.

Missouri SB1276 establishes new provisions to prevent discrimination in public entities, including public schools and state agencies. The bill defines "proxy discrimination" as using seemingly neutral factors in admissions or employment that correlate with race, sex, color, ethnicity, ancestry, or national origin to discriminate against or favor certain groups. Public schools and state agencies must disclose all factors considered in admissions or employment decisions and ensure these factors do not discriminate.
