Bill > HB770

This bill extends the sunset date for additional fees collected by the Missouri Secretary of State from December 31, 2026, to December 31, 2030, across seven different sections of state law. Under these provisions, the Secretary of State is authorized to collect an additional $5 fee on various statutory fees (with one section allowing a $10 fee for corporate registration reports), and all these additional fees will be deposited into the Secretary of State's technology trust fund account. The bill effectively maintains the current fee structure but pushes out the expiration date of these additional fees by four years, ensuring continued funding for the Secretary of State's technology infrastructure. These fees apply to various chapters of Missouri law related to business entities, corporate registrations, and other administrative functions, demonstrating a consistent approach to supplemental fee collection across different types of state administrative services.
