The Missouri House passed legislation Thursday to repeal the paid sick leave that voters approved in November.

Members of the House voted 96-51 to pass the measure. It now goes to the Senate.

Proposition A passed in November with 57% of the vote. The statute raises the minimum wage to an eventual $15 an hour in 2026. It also mandates paid sick leave for employees with some exceptions.

The legislation passed on Thursday entirely repeals the mandated sick leave portion. It also removes any minimum wage increase slated to go in effect in January 2027 and beyond.

"The provisions make it difficult to run a business efficiently and provide adequate customer service," said the sponsor of the legislation, Rep. Sherri Gallick, R-Belton. "The unpredictability threatens the stability of businesses, large and small."
