Modifies provisions relating to qualifications for public office

HB 2895 modifies Missouri's qualifications for public office by requiring candidates to affirm tax compliance. It directly affects most candidates running for elected positions (excluding county/city party committee roles) by mandating they submit an affidavit stating they owe no delinquent state income, property, municipal, or real estate taxes, or are not a corporate officer of a tax-delinquent entity. Key provisions include requiring this affidavit with candidacy paperwork, allowing the Department of Revenue to investigate tax claims, and disqualifying candidates who fail to pay outstanding taxes within 30 days of notification. The bill aims to ensure candidates are tax-compliant before running for office, with disqualification applying for the entire election cycle if taxes remain unpaid.
