On March 31, SB 797 passed the Missouri Senate unanimously. He removes a typographical error from the 1993 ballot access reform law. The current law was written to let new and previously unqualified parties circulate a petition before they have chosen their nominees. But an error causes that same law to contradict that principle, and say if the party expects to run a presidential candidate, it must name the presidential candidates (and also candidates for presidential elector) on the petition.
