Missouri: National Guard Members Can Sue for Reinstatement

Effective August 28, 2026, HB 2593 provides for a private right of action for Missouri employees who are National Guard members for violations of their right to reinstatement after serving on qualifying state active duty. Missouri’s Office of the Attorney General can also bring suit against employers who violate an employee’s right to reinstatement. The state law now mirrors the reinstatement rights provided under Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
