The Missouri Legislative Limitations Initiative did not make the November 8, 2016 ballot in Missouri as an initiated constitutional amendment. The measure, upon voter approval, would have established limits on campaign contributions to candidates for the state legislature, established gift limits that state legislators can accept from lobbyists, prohibited state legislators from serving as paid lobbyists, prohibited political fundraising on general assembly property, required legislative records to be open to the public and prohibited any law that disqualifies signatures on petitions based on how the voters sign the petition.[1]
