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.
