About the Missouri Ethics Commission


Welcome!

Welcome to the Missouri Ethics Commission’s website. At the Commission we strive to provide extraordinary customer service to Missouri’s citizens. Our goals include educating and training our customers to understand Missouri ethics laws, follow these laws, and become self-reliant. We invite you to look around our website and take advantage of the many searches, resources, and other information available.

The Commission receives reports and is charged with enforcement of: campaign finance, conflict of interest, lobbying, and personal financial disclosure. Enforcement includes conducting investigations from complaints received, the reports (and related records) required to be filed with the Commission, and independent investigations. The Commission also issues advisory opinions.

The Commission is governed by six Governor-appointed members, Commissioners. Not more than three of the six Commissioners can be from the same political party and they are from different congressional districts. The Commissioners are appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate and serve a four-year term.
