Summary
The bill changes Missouri law to make the opening filing time 8 a.m. on the sixteenth Tuesday before an election and the closing filing time 5 p.m. on the thirteenth Tuesday (or the next non‑holiday day). It also requires local officials to publish these dates in at least one newspaper. The goal is to give candidates and voters a clear, uniform timeline.
