Prohibits an employer from terminating an employee for having a firearm in the employee's vehicle on the employer's premises

AI Summary

This bill proposes to add a new section to Missouri law that protects employees' rights to keep firearms in their vehicles while at work, with specific conditions. Under this legislation, employers would be prohibited from firing or terminating an employee for having a firearm in their vehicle while arriving at, leaving, or working on the employer's property, provided three key conditions are met: the vehicle must be locked, the firearm must not be visible, and the employee must be legally allowed to possess a firearm. The bill also includes a provision that shields employers from civil liability for any injuries or damages that might result from firearms stored in vehicles according to these guidelines. This proposed law aims to balance employee personal property rights with workplace safety concerns, giving workers the ability to keep legally owned firearms in their vehicles without fear of losing their jobs, while maintaining restrictions that seek to minimize potential risks.
