HB 3396, the "Missouri corporate power reset act," would prohibit political spending by artificial persons such as corporations. The bill was referred to the House Emerging Issues Committee in the 2026 session.
Constitutional basis: Introduced bill would bar corporate political spending, a categorical prohibition in tension with settled free-speech campaign-finance precedent; still in committee with no enactment.
