Missouri public community colleges, colleges, and universities would be prohibited from employing any individual who holds an H-1B visa

State institutions would also be barred from contracting with or engaging services from any contractor that is owned by an H-1B visa holder or that employs H-1B visa holders

H-1B visas are defined as temporary work authorizations for foreign workers in specialty occupations like information technology, engineering, or finance, with a maximum duration of generally six years

The Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development would have authority to promulgate rules implementing the provisions

Rules adopted under this section after August 28, 2026, would be subject to legislative review and could be invalidated if certain rulemaking powers are held unconstitutional
