This bill prohibits a financial institution from using a "firearms code," as defined in the bill, as a way to distinguish a firearms retailer that is physically located in Missouri from a general merchandise or sporting goods retailer.
This bill also prohibits financial institutions from discriminating against firearm retailers under certain circumstances, as defined in the bill.
The Attorney General shall investigate violations. In the event a violation is found, the individual or entity must cease any violations within 30 calendar days after notification is received. If the individual or entity fails to cure the violation, the Attorney General shall pursue an injunction. If the individual or entity fails to abide by the injunction, the court will impose a civil penalty in a sum not to exceed $10,000 per violation.
This bill is similar to HCS HB 51 (2025).
