HB 2381 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates new provisions relating to elections

HB 2381 restricts foreign influence in election administration by prohibiting government entities and election officers from accepting funds or in-kind services for election work from non-government sources (except very small-value items). It requires election officers to verify that vendors or programs they engage with have no foreign donations through annual certifications, including specific declarations about foreign funding. Election officers must publicly disclose any such memberships or programs on their websites with detailed formatting, content, and duration requirements. Violations are classified as class B misdemeanors, and voters can sue to enforce the law.
