DESCRIPTION



Under current law, certain nonpartisan judicial candidates are not required to file exemption statements regarding campaign finance disclosure reports. This bill removes the nonpartisan

restriction.

The bill also revises the limit on individual contributions certain candidates may receive without being required to file a disclosure report from $250 to the amount of the limitation on

contributions to elect an individual to the office of State Representative as calculated in subsection 2 of Section 130.032, RSMo.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
