Wrap: Before it met the ax, the bill would have required discrimination to be a "motivating" factor for getting fired instead of a "contributing" one.

While the General Assembly has passed two bills doing that, they have both met swift vetoes from Governor Jay Nixon.

The bill now changes protections for whistleblowers, but some like the ACLU's Jeremy LaFaver say the bill takes away protections.

The bill's proponents say it puts Missouri law in line with federal law.
