Allows campaign funds to be used for eligible childcare costs

SB 1259 - This act permits contributions made to any committee organized under Missouri campaign finance law to be used for any childcare expenses, as described in the act, that result directly from campaigning for office or in connection with the duties of public office that would not have been otherwise incurred but for those activities.

This act is identical to a provision in the truly agreed to SS/SCS/HCS/HB 1871 (2026), SB 242 (2025), HB 347 (2025), and HB 2493 (2024). SCOTT SVAGERA
