Bill > HB1327

This bill creates new reporting requirements for businesses, political consultants, and individuals who make contributions or expenditures related to entities licensed under Missouri's casino gambling laws (sections 313.780 to 313.850). Specifically, any such entity must file a detailed report with the Missouri Ethics Commission within 48 hours of making a monetary or in-kind contribution or expenditure on advertisements, emails, internet ads, print media, or electronic media that references these licensed entities. The report must include the name, address, and contact information of the entity making the contribution, the amount or value of the expenditure, whether it supports or opposes a matter pending in the general assembly, and the details of any contributors to the expenditure. Licensed gambling entities are also required to report their own expenditures on media related to legislative matters, with these reports to be made publicly available on the Missouri Gaming Commission's website. Violations of these reporting requirements are classified as a class A misdemeanor, and businesses found in violation can be dissolved by the secretary of state, emphasizing the bill's intent to increase transparency in political spending related to gambling interests.
