The bill proposes the addition of a new section, 441.927, to chapter 441 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, aimed at providing rental protections specifically for veterans. It defines a "veteran" as any individual who has been honorably separated from the U.S. Armed Forces after serving at least six consecutive months, or who has completed a minimum of six years in a reserve or National Guard component, among other criteria. Under this new section, landlords are prohibited from evicting tenants who qualify as veterans unless the eviction is due to illegal conduct as specified in section 441.020. This legislation seeks to safeguard veterans from unjust evictions, recognizing their service and contributions to the country.
