MO HB1213

Exempts certain disabled veterans from Missouri state income tax on their taxable income, effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2011.

Defines "veteran" as a person who served in World War II (December 7, 1941 - December 31, 1946), Korean conflict (June 27, 1950 - January 31, 1955), Vietnam War (February 28, 1961 - May 7, 1975), Persian Gulf War (August 2, 1990 onward), or Iraq/Afghanistan operations (September 11, 2001 onward).

Requires veterans to have become 50 percent or more disabled as a result of their military service and to have been Missouri residents when they entered the armed forces.

Authorizes the Department of Revenue to promulgate rules to implement the exemption and requires veterans to provide documentation to verify eligibility.

Program automatically sunsets six years after the effective date unless reauthorized by the General Assembly, with a further 12-year sunset if reauthorized.
