MO HB311

Modifies petition requirements for tax levy votes in special road districts located partially within flood plains in specific counties (third classification without township government, 5,000-6,000 inhabitants, with a fourth-class county seat city of 1,200-1,350 inhabitants), allowing submission upon petition by either 10 or more voters OR a majority of property owners in the district.

Maintains the existing requirement that county commissions submit tax levy questions upon petition, with tax rates not exceeding 35 cents per $100 of assessed valuation and duration limited to 1-4 years.

Requires special road district commissioners in the specified flood plain districts to be registered voters of Missouri, own land within the district, and reside within the county or an adjoining county.

Removes the requirement that special road district commissioners be voters of the district for the specified flood plain districts, replacing it with requirement to be registered voters of the state who own property and reside in the county or adjoining county.

Updates gender-specific language in existing statute regarding vacancy filling procedures for special road district commissioners.
