Bill > HB1816

This bill modifies the existing tax credit program for contributions to pregnancy resource centers by incrementally increasing the tax credit percentage that donors can claim. Currently, donors can claim a 50% tax credit for contributions made between 2007 and 2020, which will increase to 70% for tax years 2021-2026, and will then rise to a full 100% tax credit for contributions made in tax years starting January 1, 2027. The bill defines a pregnancy resource center as a non-residential facility in Missouri that provides free assistance to women with crisis or unplanned pregnancies, offering services like pregnancy testing, counseling, and emotional support, but explicitly prohibiting abortion-related services. Taxpayers can claim tax credits up to $50,000 per year, with the requirement that contributions must be at least $100. For fiscal years before July 1, 2021, there were caps on the total tax credits available (starting at $2 million and increasing over time), but after that date, there will be no limit on the cumulative tax credits that can be claimed. The bill requires pregnancy resource centers to report contributor information to state directors, who will then verify and track the tax credit claims.
