Bill > HB3335

This bill authorizes counties in Missouri, specifically those of the third classification without a township government and with a population between 16,400 and 16,500, or counties with 19,000 to 22,000 inhabitants where the county seat has between 8,500 and 10,000 inhabitants, to impose a sales tax of up to one-fifth of one percent for the purpose of funding museums. For a museum to be eligible for these funds, it must be operating within the county, registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and considered a tourism attraction by the county's governing board. Before this sales tax can be implemented, the proposal must be approved by voters in a county or state election. The bill also outlines the ballot language for such a vote, details the responsibilities of the Director of Revenue in administering and collecting the tax, and specifies that existing state sales tax laws and exemptions will apply. Furthermore, it allows for the establishment or utilization of a museum board to oversee the expenditure of these funds, with provisions for board member appointment, terms, and reimbursement for expenses, and includes a mechanism for voters to repeal the tax.
