HB 373 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the expenditure of public funds

HB 373 prohibits public officials, employees, or agents of political subdivisions (including school districts and charter schools) from using public funds to support or oppose ballot measures or candidates, or to pay debts for political committees. It specifically bans directing public money toward political activities while allowing officials to make public appearances or issue press releases about ballot measures. Violations would be treated as a class four election offense. The bill aims to prevent public funds from being used for political advocacy, directly affecting local government entities and school districts.
