Modifies provisions relating to qualifications for public office

HB 1005 requires most candidates for public office in Missouri to verify they have no unpaid state income, property, or municipal taxes. Candidates must submit an affidavit confirming tax compliance (or provide proof of payment) with their candidacy paperwork, except for county/city party committee candidates. The Department of Revenue investigates tax delinquency complaints, giving candidates 30 days to pay outstanding taxes; failure to pay results in disqualification from the current election and a full election cycle ban. This bill directly affects individuals running for most elected offices by adding tax compliance as a qualification requirement.
