Bill > SJR22

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to modify Missouri's sales tax provisions, which would be placed on the ballot in the 2026 general election. The key changes involve repealing the existing Section 26 of Article X of the Missouri Constitution and replacing it with a new Section 27 that establishes two primary restrictions on sales taxes: first, it would cap the statewide sales, use, or transaction-based tax rate at 3.775%, and second, it would mandate a specific 6% sales tax on lobbying services. The proposed amendment aims to limit potential tax increases and create a new tax category for lobbying services. The ballot language will ask voters whether they support amending the Missouri Constitution to implement these specific sales tax limitations. If approved by voters, the general assembly would be empowered to enact laws implementing these new tax provisions, effectively constraining future tax rate increases while introducing a targeted tax on lobbying services.
