HB 962 -- CAMPAIGN FINANCE DISCLOSURE

SPONSOR:  May

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Elections by a vote of 11 to 0.

This bill revises the limit, from $1,000 to $3,000, on
contributions and expenditures certain candidates may receive or
make without being required to file exemption statements
regarding campaign finance disclosure reports.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2005, FY 2006, and
FY 2007.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that increasing the trigger amount
for requiring exemption statements will save time and money for
county clerks.

Testifying for the bill were Representative May; and Missouri
Association of County Clerks.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
