AI Summary

This bill prohibits political subdivisions (such as counties, cities, towns, or villages) in Missouri from requiring employers to provide a minimum wage or employment benefits that exceed the requirements of state law. It repeals previous laws that allowed local minimum wage requirements and employment benefit mandates, and establishes that state laws on these matters will preempt and nullify any local ordinances, rules, or regulations. In other words, this bill centralizes the setting of minimum wage and employment benefit standards at the state level, preventing local governments from enacting their own, potentially more generous, requirements in these areas.
