Modifies provisions relating to department of revenue fee offices
HB 207 establishes specific fee amounts for private businesses or organizations acting as agents for the Missouri Department of Revenue. It sets fees like $9 for annual vehicle registration, $9 for title transfers, and $9-$18 for driver's licenses, while requiring competitive bidding for contracts with special evaluation credit for tax-exempt charities. The bill prohibits contracts with entities affiliated with current or former revenue employees and allows contract extensions up to five years based on performance. Tax-exempt organizations collecting these fees may retain the revenue, while fees collected by state-operated offices go to the state. This directly affects private fee offices processing vehicle registrations, titles, and driver's licenses across Missouri.

This bill was amended to clarify and strengthen how the state awards contracts for fee offices related to motor vehicle services. The changes ensure that non-profit organizations receive at least 5% of evaluation credit during the bidding process, while maintaining restrictions on conflicts of interest for current and former state employees. Additionally, the Chief Clerk's name was updated to reflect the current office holder.
