Bill > HB2125

This bill extends the sunset date for various fees collected by the Missouri Secretary of State from December 31, 2026, to December 31, 2031, across multiple sections of state law. Specifically, the bill allows the Secretary of State to continue collecting an additional $5 fee (and in some cases $10) on various statutory fees related to different types of corporate and business registrations. These additional fees are deposited into the Secretary of State's technology trust fund account, which is likely used to support technological infrastructure and systems. The bill also includes a minor technical amendment to the voter registration system section, adding language about citizenship status verification in the Department of Revenue's database. Additionally, the bill makes a small technical correction in the election complaint investigation section, changing a reference from "subsection" to "subdivision". The primary purpose appears to be ensuring continued funding for the Secretary of State's technology efforts by extending the existing fee collection authority for another five years.
