Rules of Elected Officials Division 30—Secretary of State SPECIAL NOTICE Chapters 21 Through 30 On December 19, 1977, the Missouri Supreme Court declared unconstitutional in its entirety the 1974 Missouri Campaign Finance Disclosure Law, in the case of Labor’s Educational and Political Club—Independent v. Danforth 561 SW2d 339 (Mo. banc 1977). Since that time the Missouri Elections Commission as a rulemaking and enforcing agency has ceased operations. In Senate Bill 839, the Seventh-Ninth General Assembly, Second Session, repealed that same act including those sections cited by the Elections Commission as rulemaking authority. Under the authority granted by section 536.022 RSMo Supp. 1979, the secretary of state has decided to remove from the Code of State Regulations all rules of the Missouri Elections Commission, considering them terminated with the meaning of section 536.022, RSMo Supp. 1979.
