The new bill comes after Andrew Bailey vowed to investigate companies pulling business from X, formerly Twitter over hate speech.

What’s the outrage here, that a State Government can make rules on who they will or won’t do business with? That’s all this Bill is looking to do. If a company wants to do business with the State of Missouri then they can’t economically boycott other companies in a handful of industries that Conservatives care about. If a company doesn’t do business with the State of Missouri then this law won’t apply.
Politically motivated rules controlling Government spending exist at all levels from Federal down through Municipal. Money is power and Politicians are always willing to flex.
Private companies have freedom of association. The government is not allowed to punish them for using it.
They shouldn’t but they do anyway and most people don’t care until it goes against their politics.
