Missouri Republicans to consider removing trans people out of state law
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KY3) – The Missouri House Committee on Emerging Issues is scheduled to review seven pieces of legislation on Wednesday, each of which would further restrict the expression of gender identity in the state.
Multiple proposed bills would require all schools in the state to provide bathrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms that are separated by biological sex and create a legal structure to pursue damages against the school if there are any suspected violations.
Another bill would impose the same requirement on all workplaces.
In 2023, Republican Missouri Governor Mike Parson signed a law nicknamed the S.A.F.E. Act, which stands for “Save Adolescents From Experimentation. The title falsely implies that gender transition procedures are a form of experimentation, which is not consistent with the position of the mainstream medical community.
The National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Surgeon General, and the American Academy of Pediatrics have all concluded that these medical interventions are legitimate treatment options.
A bill filed by St. Charles Republican state Rep. Adam Schnelting would establish throughout state law that references to gender would be synonymous with sex, effectively disregarding the definitive differences between those two aspects of identity; ‘Sex,’ describing the biological traits that define one as male or female; and ‘Gender,’ describing the social and cultural differences between the sexes.
Schnelting’s bill would attempt to have state law fundamentally disregard that difference and force individuals to align their gender identity with their biological sex.
The following is a list of legislation set to be discussed in the Emerging Issues committee on Wednesday:
- HB 1520 – Would make the gender-affirming treatment ban permanent and retroactive,
- HB 1519 – Would protect from liability any medical professionals who refuse to assist with a gender transition,
- HB 1674 – Requires private employers to provide biological sex-exclusive bathrooms to employees,
- HB 2355 – Requires schools to provide biological sex-exclusive bathrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms,
- HB 2308 – Requires schools to provide biological sex-exclusive bathrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms and creates a legal framework for suing non-compliant schools,
- HB 2309 – Eliminates the difference between ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ within state law,
- HB 2357 – Requires all public bathrooms to be biological sex-exclusive.
House Majority Floor leader Jon Patterson, R-Lee’s Summit, said at the beginning of the 2024 session his caucus does not plan to prioritize legislation on LGBTQ issues.
“I don’t think that will be much of a focus,” Patterson said. “I think if you really want to help kids, we have kids that can’t read, 1/5 of our kids are obese, we had 40 kids die of gun violence in the past year. Addressing crime, addressing education, if you really want to help kids, those are the things we should work on.”
However, State Sen. Denny Hoskins, a member of the far-right “Missouri Freedom Caucus,” said continuing to restrict this type of expression is one of his biggest priorities.

In 1838, the governor of Missouri ordered members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to leave the area or face death. Nearly two centuries later, the church is preparing to build its third temple in the state.
The Church of Jesus Christ announced Monday that the groundbreaking ceremony for the Springfield Missouri Temple will be held on Saturday, June 6; Elder Aroldo B. Cavalcante, a General Authority Seventy and member of the church’s United States Southeast Area Presidency, will preside.
Missouri holds an important role in the early history of the Church of Jesus Christ. From 1831 to 1838, thousands of Latter-day Saints worked to “build up the land of Zion” in the state, according to the church’s overview of the Missouri historic sites. They were largely unwelcome, with several instances of mobs driving out church members from established cities.
The Church broke ground for a temple in Far West, Missouri, in the summer of 1838. However, the temple was never constructed, as early members were expelled from the state shortly thereafter. The executive order was not formally rescinded until 1976.
Late church President Russell M. Nelson announced the Springfield Missouri Temple in April 2023 general conference, making it the third in the state. A temple in St. Louis was dedicated in 1997 and one in Kansas City was dedicated in 2012.
As of April 2026, more than 84,000 Latter-day Saints live in Missouri and meet in around 180 congregations.
“Jesus Christ is the reason we build temples,” President Nelson said when announcing the Springfield temple. “Each is His holy house. Making covenants and receiving essential ordinances in the temple, as well as seeking to draw closer to Him there, will bless your life in ways no other kind of worship can.”
