HJR 102 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to foreign influence in elections

HJR 102 proposes a constitutional amendment to prohibit foreign interference in Missouri elections. It would make it unlawful for foreign governments, non-citizen individuals, or foreign entities to contribute money, gifts, or other support to influence elections, ballot measures, judicial candidates, or political parties. Violations could result in penalties for lobbyists (including revoked registration) and public officials (removal from office, disqualification from pensions, or felony charges). The amendment also restricts initiatives or referendums that would weaken election security or allow foreign ownership of farmland. This proposal aims to protect election integrity by embedding foreign interference restrictions into Missouri's constitution.
