HB 1029 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Changes provisions governing local sales taxes

HB 1029 modifies Missouri's local sales tax rules to allow certain counties to impose a 1% sales tax for recreation projects. It targets counties meeting specific population thresholds (e.g., 9,900-11,000 residents for third-class counties) and requires voter approval via a ballot measure before the tax takes effect. The bill creates a separate "County Recreation Sales Tax Trust Fund" to hold collected revenue, ensuring funds aren't commingled with state money and are distributed monthly to participating counties. This change replaces outdated sections of Missouri law with new provisions governing how counties can finance recreational facilities through voter-approved local taxes.
