HB 523 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits candidates from serving as the treasurer of their own candidate committee

HB 523 prohibits candidates for office from serving as the treasurer of their own campaign committee. This bill amends election law to remove an existing exception that allowed candidates to act as their own treasurer, requiring them instead to appoint a separate individual for this role. The change applies to all candidates required to form a candidate committee under state election rules, including those running for offices listed in the law. This ensures campaign finances are managed by an independent treasurer rather than the candidate themselves.
