Authorizes a sales tax for special educational services
This bill allows metropolitan school districts in Missouri to vote on adding a small sales tax specifically to fund special educational services. If approved by voters, the tax would be capped at 0.25% and collected by the state, with the money placed in a separate trust fund for the district to use. The bill does not automatically impose the tax; instead, it provides the legal framework for school boards to ask voters for permission to levy the fee. Once approved, the state handles the collection and administration, while the district receives the funds monthly for designated educational purposes.
