MO HB186

Expands authority to file petitions for community improvement districts from only large home rule cities (400,000+ inhabitants in multiple counties) to any municipality, with petitions signed by the chief elected officer

Removes restriction that limited municipality-initiated districts to only real property taxes as the funding method, allowing districts to use other tax types

Creates flexible ballot language allowing municipalities to specify the type of tax, rate, and duration rather than being limited to a fixed ten cents per hundred dollars assessed valuation for ten years

Requires at least a one-year waiting period before resubmitting a district proposal to voters after a rejection, replacing the previous limit of only one resubmission attempt

Allows voter-approved taxes to be imposed by the district's board of directors without requiring additional voter approval after the initial election
