HB 1864 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

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

HB 1864 changes Missouri campaign finance law by prohibiting candidates from serving as their own treasurer for their campaign committees. This affects all candidates running for office who must form a candidate committee under Missouri law, requiring them to appoint a separate treasurer instead of managing their committee's finances personally. The bill removes an existing exception that allowed candidates to appoint themselves as treasurer, mandating that committees must have a designated treasurer who is a state resident. The key change ensures campaign funds are managed by an independent person, not the candidate, to improve financial oversight.
