Bill > HB374

This bill modifies provisions related to the Missouri Ethics Commission, introducing several key changes. The bill requires political subdivisions to submit an annual attestation about their operating budget and provide a list of officials required to file financial interest statements by specific dates. It updates the financial interest statement requirements, mandating more comprehensive disclosures about income, business interests, gifts, travel expenses, and potential conflicts of interest. The bill also revises the composition and operation of the Missouri Ethics Commission, including how members are appointed, their terms of service, and restrictions on their activities. Additionally, the bill expands the commission's duties, giving it new powers to request information from political subdivisions, track candidates and decision-making public servants, and maintain more robust oversight of ethical compliance. The changes aim to increase transparency in government by creating more detailed reporting requirements and establishing clearer guidelines for ethics disclosure across various levels of Missouri's government.
