HB 1064 -- Discrimination Lawsuits

Sponsor:  Bray

This bill allows either party in a discrimination case to request
a jury trial upon the completion of administrative processing of
the complaint by the Missouri Commission on Human Rights.  When
such cases result in a nonsuit (that is, termination of a suit
without an adjudication on the merits), the plaintiff may
commence a new action within one year.  The bill also requires
the commission to notify the complainant when the commission has
terminated its administrative processing of any complaint
involving unlawful employment practices or discrimination in
public accommodations.
