Governor Opposes Senate Bill 188

Governor Jay Nixon issued a statement against a Senate Bill that makes several changes in the state’s workplace discrimination laws. Supporters of the measure say it would make Missouri more competitive. Opponents say it undermines the Missouri Human Rights Act and rolls back protections of civil rights. Nixon says Senate Bill 188 will not help create jobs. He will talk about his specific objections to the measure and take formal action in a news conference on Friday.
