The bill modifies the current definition for "qualified school" for the Missouri Empowerment Scholarship Program to include in the definition that a qualified school cannot discriminate based on religion, sexual orientation or gender identity, or expression. The bill also prohibits otherwise qualified schools that have discriminatory creeds, practices, admission policies, or curriculum from participating in the Program.
This bill is similar to HB 1324 (2025) and HB 2893 (2024).
