Missouri HB2895 changes the qualifications for public office candidates by barring those convicted of a felony under federal or state law, or an offense that would be a felony in Missouri. It also requires candidates to file an affidavit affirming tax payments and bonding requirements. If a candidate is found delinquent in state taxes, they are disqualified from the election and barred from refiling for an entire election cycle. The Department of Revenue investigates complaints and verifies tax payments.
