Prohibits the state librarian from disbursing funds to libraries that offer obscene materials to children

HB 1574 establishes a new state income tax on nonresident entertainers and professional athletes who perform in Missouri for more than $300, requiring venues and payers to withhold 2% of their compensation. The bill defines these groups to include performers from out-of-state bands, comedy acts, and professional sports teams across various disciplines. Revenue generated from this tax is designated to fund specific state programs, with portions allocated to the arts council, humanities council, public libraries, and public television and radio broadcasting. The law applies to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1999, and remains in effect until December 31, 2030.
