Establishes the Missouri corporate power reset act that prohibits political spending power by artificial persons
HB 3396, the Missouri Corporate Power Reset Act, requires any entity engaging in political spending (as defined in the bill) within Missouri to register as a foreign business entity and comply with state business laws. The bill deems such political spending as "transacting business" in Missouri, triggering registration obligations for corporations, LLCs, and other artificial persons that make political contributions or expenditures in the state. Failure to register subjects entities to a minimum $1,000 fine and bars them from filing lawsuits in Missouri courts. This law directly affects out-of-state and domestic business entities that engage in political activities, without banning the spending itself but imposing registration requirements.
