Authorizes the city of Lake Lotawana to levy a public safety sales tax upon voter approval

HB 2795 authorizes specific cities in Missouri to vote on imposing a small sales tax dedicated to funding public safety services like police, fire, and emergency medical care. The bill lists numerous cities based on their population size and location, allowing their local governments to propose a tax of up to 0.5% on retail sales if approved by voters. If a majority of voters approve the proposal, the city must wait two quarters before collecting the tax, and all revenue must be kept in a separate trust fund strictly for public safety expenses. The law also requires that if a city cancels the tax, any remaining money in the trust fund must continue to be used for public safety purposes.
