HB 233 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the posting of notices

HB 233 updates Missouri's notice requirements for county planning board hearings. It removes the current rule that mandates posting hearing notices in two conspicuous locations within each township and replaces it with a requirement to post notices on the county's website. The bill maintains the existing rule requiring notices to be published in a newspaper with general circulation in the county. This change directly affects county planning boards and the public by shifting notice distribution from physical locations to a digital platform for improved accessibility.

MODERATE

The bill was refined from a broad proposal repealing two sections to a narrower version repealing only one section (64.231) and adding a specific act title focused on hearing notices. The second section regarding regional planning commission funding was entirely removed, significantly reducing the bill's scope from a comprehensive planning update to a single procedural amendment.

Scope change

The bill's scope was narrowed by removing all provisions related to regional planning commission funding and matching grants, leaving only the amendment to the county planning board master plan requirements.

FISCAL

All text establishing state funding limits, matching fund requirements, and specific dollar amounts for regional planning commissions was deleted.

SCOPE

The repeal of section 251.034 and its associated funding rules was removed from the bill.

REQUIREMENT

The bill title and explanatory notes were updated to reflect that the act now only relates to county planning board hearing notices rather than general planning board powers.

TECHNICAL

Formatting and line breaks were adjusted to align with the 'perfected' legislative markup standards.
