On May 14, 2025, the Missouri State Legislature approved HB 567 which will repeal Proposition A in its entirety. Proposition A was a voter enacted paid sick leave law from the November 2024 election which went into effect on May 1, 2025. It required nearly all employers in the state to provide one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked.
The bill has been delivered to the Governor but has not yet been signed. He has indicated his support for the bill. Notably, the bill did not include a clause to repeal Proposition A effective immediately. This means that the paid sick leave requirements are still effective for employers as of May 1, 2025 but would end August 28, 2025, the effective date of the bill. Employers who have modified their leave policies and procedures to comply with the law should consult with their legal counsel prior to changing their policies since the law is technically still in effect until August 28, 2025, pending the Governor’s signature.
