Missouri Statutes, RSMo 1986, Sections 209.150, 209.160 and 209.190

Missouri statutory law guarantees a blind person the legal right to be
accompanied by a specially trained dog guide in all public
accommodations and on all public transportation.  A dog guide user also
has a legal right to equal housing accommodation in all housing.  No
extra charge can be levied because of the dog's presence, but the dog
guide user is liable for any damage the dog might cause to the premises. 
A landlord is not required to modify the property, nor to provide a
higher degree of care than that provided other tenants.

Public accommodations include hotels, stores, restaurants, places of
resort and amusement, and all other places to which the general public
is invited.  (*209.150)

Public transportation includes airplanes, buses, boats, trains, taxis,
and all other modes of conveyance offered for public use.  (*209.150)

Housing includes any real property or a portion thereof offered for
rent, lease or compensation as a home, residence or sleeping place, but
does not include a single-family dwelling whose occupants offer not more
than one room for rent.  (*209.190)

Violation: Any person, firm, or corporation or agent thereof who
interferes with the above enumerated rights is guilty of a misdemeanor
and punishable accordingly under Missouri law.  (*209.160)
