The Missouri House adopted a committee substitute for House Bill 17 88, with a cleanup amendment, to require affirmative opt‑in for recurring political contributions, require receipts for each contribution, and stop election‑specific recurring solicitations when the related election concludes.

The committee advanced Senate Bill 15-34, a charity enforcement measure the sponsor said would work with the attorney general to protect donor intent, close enforcement loopholes and curb misuse of charitable funds; the bill passed on an 11-0 vote.
