Bill > HB330

This bill modifies provisions related to local taxes across several Missouri counties and cities, introducing new provisions for imposing and collecting taxes on various activities. Specifically, the bill creates new sections allowing certain counties and cities to impose sales taxes, lodging taxes, and property taxes under specific conditions. For instance, it enables a county with between 15,700 and 17,600 inhabitants to impose a sales tax up to 1% for hospital services, subject to voter approval. The bill also expands existing provisions for cities and counties to levy taxes on hotel room charges, with rates typically ranging from 2% to 6%, and specifies that these taxes must be approved through voter referendums. The taxes are generally intended to fund specific purposes such as tourism promotion, economic development, infrastructure improvements, emergency services, public safety, or maintaining sheltered workshops. The bill provides detailed guidance on how these taxes should be implemented, including ballot language, collection procedures, and restrictions on how the generated revenue can be used. Each provision is tailored to specific geographic and demographic criteria, allowing targeted tax measures for particular local jurisdictions.
