MO SB1061

Public entities in Missouri would be prohibited from entering contracts valued at $100,000 or more with companies that have 10 or more full-time employees unless the company provides written verification that it does not discriminate against firearm entities or firearm trade associations

"Discrimination" is defined as refusing to do business with, or terminating business relationships with, firearm manufacturers, distributors, retailers, shooting ranges, or trade associations solely based on their firearm-related status

Exceptions allow companies to restrict firearm sales through established merchant policies, comply with federal/state/local laws, or make decisions based on traditional business reasons specific to individual customers

The verification requirement does not apply when public entities contract with sole-source providers or when no bidding company can provide the required written verification

"Firearm trade associations" covered under the bill must be nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations with at least two firearm entity members
