Missouri SB1770 mandates state agencies to use "Judea and Samaria" instead of "West Bank" in official materials.
Missouri SB1770 amends Chapter 1 of RSMo by adding a new section, 1.2100, which aims to replace the term "West Bank" with "Judea and Samaria" in all official government materials. This change reflects the historical names of the land controlled by Israel from Jordan during the 1967 Six-Day War. The bill prohibits state agencies from using "West Bank" and from spending state money on materials that do so. Exceptions can be made by the director of a state agency if deemed in the state's interest, with a written explanation submitted to the senate and house leadership.
