AI Summary

This bill modifies the law relating to unlawful discrimination in Missouri. It repeals and replaces several sections of the existing law, including definitions, unlawful employment practices, housing discrimination, public accommodations, and enforcement procedures. Key changes include expanding the definition of "disability", clarifying the standard of causation for discrimination claims, limiting remedies, and establishing a new "Whistleblower's Protection Act" to provide protections and remedies for employees who report unlawful conduct by their employers. The bill aims to codify certain court decisions and limit the future expansion of exceptions to the at-will employment doctrine.
