Bill > HB1458

This bill creates a new grant program administered by the Missouri Department of Social Services to help senior citizens navigate property tax assessment appeals. The program will provide funding to senior-serving nonprofit organizations that can demonstrate their ability to assist seniors with property tax appeals. To be eligible for grants, nonprofit organizations must submit a detailed application including information about their organization, leadership, services, geographic reach, and specific plans for helping seniors with tax appeals. When awarding grants, the department will consider factors such as the organization's capacity to serve seniors, the level of need in their service area, and available funding. The department is authorized to develop regulations for implementing the program, with the grants becoming available after August 28, 2025. The bill aims to provide additional support for seniors who may find the property tax appeal process complex or challenging, by funding organizations that can offer targeted assistance and guidance.
