MO HB3143

Missouri counties may impose a sales tax up to 0.25% (one-fourth of one percent) on retail sales to fund senior services, but only after voter approval at a general, primary, or special election

Revenue collected goes into a "Senior Services Sales Tax Trust Fund," with 1% retained by the state for collection costs and the remainder dedicated exclusively to senior services

Each county adopting the tax must establish a seven-member senior services tax commission, appointed by the county commission, to administer how the funds are spent

Voters can repeal the tax through a ballot measure initiated either by the county governing body or by petition signed by 10% of registered voters from the last gubernatorial election

If repealed, the tax ends on December 31st of that calendar year, with remaining funds continuing to be used solely for senior services
