Bill > HB394

This bill repeals and replaces Section 130.047 of the Missouri statutes, which relates to campaign finance. The key provisions are: 1. Any person who is not a defined committee (i.e., a political organization) and who makes an expenditure of $500 or more to support or oppose a candidate or ballot measure must file a report with the appropriate election official. The report must include the name and address of the person making the expenditure, the date and amount of the expenditure, the name and address of the payee, and a description of the nature and purpose of the expenditure. 2. Any entity that is not a defined committee and makes an expenditure of $500 or more to support or oppose a candidate, elected official, issue considered by the state legislature, or ballot measure must file a quarterly report disclosing any donors who contributed more than $50 to the entity in the previous quarter, including the name, address, and amount of each such donation. The bill aims to increase transparency around campaign-related spending by individuals and groups that are not officially registered political committees.
