SB 644 Missouri Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies procedure for requesting audits of political subdivisions

SB 644 changes how residents can request audits of local governments (like counties or cities). It requires petitions signed by specific voter percentages (ranging from 25% for areas with under 1,000 voters to 5% for areas with 50,000+ voters), with minimum signature thresholds for larger areas. The local government must pay the audit costs, managed through a new revolving fund, and audits can only be requested once every three years per jurisdiction. This directly affects residents or property owners seeking to verify public fund usage in their communities.
