MO SB605

Consolidates campaign finance disclosure report filing to the Missouri ethics commission as the primary officer for state candidates, party committees, and political action committees, eliminating duplicate filings to local election authorities.

State senator, state representative, county clerk, and associate circuit court judge candidates now file only with the Missouri ethics commission instead of both the ethics commission and their local election authority.

Political party committees and political action committees file exclusively with the Missouri ethics commission rather than to multiple election authorities.

Candidate committees and campaign committees file with the Missouri ethics commission based on the candidates or ballot measures they support or oppose, replacing previous multi-officer filing requirements.

Political action committees making expenditures exceeding $500 in political subdivisions outside their domiciled county must file with the additional relevant election authority, but remain exempt from certain statement and report requirements.
