Senate Bill Proposed Ending Deed Restriction

A bill was proposed in the Missouri Senate concerning the deed restriction issue that is outraging the St. Louis community.

This act prohibits a board of education or the special administrative board of a school district from placing a restrictive covenant in a deed that prohibits the use of real property as a school providing instruction for grades kindergarten through twelve. In addition, any restrictive covenant on real property previously operated as a public school in any deed that has been filed in the office of the recorder of deeds will be void and unenforceable.
