HB3143

Missouri HB3143 allows counties to impose a local sales tax to fund senior citizen services, subject to voter approval.

HB3143 authorizes Missouri counties to impose a sales tax, not exceeding one-fourth of one percent, to fund senior citizen services. The tax requires voter approval and can be repealed by a majority vote. The tax revenue, minus one percent for collection costs, goes into the Senior Services Sales Tax Trust Fund, used solely for senior services. The Department of Revenue administers the tax, and counties establish a commission to oversee its use. The bill outlines procedures for tax collection, exemptions, and penalties for non-compliance.
