Bill > HB3013

This bill amends Missouri law to move local elections to the primary election day. Specifically, it repeals and reenacts numerous sections of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo) related to various local government functions, including county planning and zoning, township organization, county constitutions, sales taxes for different purposes (like drug enforcement, tourism, law enforcement, and public safety), neighborhood improvement districts, special road districts, public water supply districts, fire protection districts, ambulance services, and exhibition centers. The primary change across these sections is the replacement of references to "general," "special," or "municipal" elections with "primary" elections as the designated date for these local votes. This consolidation aims to streamline election schedules and potentially increase voter turnout for local issues by holding them concurrently with statewide primary elections.
