AN ACT
To amend chapter 130, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to gubernatorial inaugural committees.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 130, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 130.018, to read as follows:
130.018. 1. Every governor-elect shall form a gubernatorial inaugural committee to receive and accept contributions, monetary and in-kind, to be used solely in support of the governor-elect's inaugural activities. The committee shall be subject to all reporting requirements, penalties, procedures, limitations, and obligations of candidate committees and of candidates for the office of governor as provided in sections 130.011 to 130.160, and shall be subject to any regulations adopted pursuant to such sections.
2. No expenditure of public funds shall be made in support of any gubernatorial inaugural activity until the governor-elect has formed a gubernatorial inaugural committee as provided by this section. The expenditure of public funds shall not be subject to the contribution limitation in section 130.032, RSMo.
3. Any funds remaining in the inaugural committee's bank account after all inaugural expenses have been paid shall escheat to the state.
