MO HB566

Adds two new categories of cities eligible to impose a public safety sales tax: special charter cities with 29,000-32,000 inhabitants, and third classification cities with 4,000-4,500 inhabitants located in first classification counties with 200,000-260,000 inhabitants

Eligible cities may impose a sales tax of up to 0.5% on retail sales, dedicated solely to public safety improvements including equipment, employee salaries and benefits, and facilities for police, fire, and emergency medical providers

Tax implementation requires voter approval at a general, primary, or special election, with a simple majority needed to pass

Revenue collected is deposited in the "City Public Safety Sales Tax Trust Fund" in the state treasury, with 1% retained by the state for collection costs and the remainder distributed monthly to the taxing city

Voters may repeal the tax through either a governing body-initiated ballot measure or a petition signed by 10% of registered voters from the last gubernatorial election, with repeal taking effect December 31st of the approval year
