Bill > HB2416

This bill creates residency requirements for Missouri's members of Congress. It defines key terms such as "congressional district," "established congressional district," "new congressional district," and "resident." The bill states that only a resident of a congressional district can be elected to serve as the representative of that district, and candidates must certify their residency when filing their declaration of candidacy. The Secretary of State is required to verify the residencies of all candidates for congressional districts within 60 days after the filing deadline. The provisions of this bill will apply to the primary and general elections for congressional representatives starting in 2026 and thereafter, but not for the elections in 2024.
