HB 237 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions governing the use of county developmental disability resource board tax levies

HB 237 modifies tax levy rules for county developmental disability resource boards, allowing specific counties to collect property taxes to fund sheltered workshops and related services for people with developmental disabilities. Counties with populations over 350,000 (or 900,000 for the entire county) may levy up to 4 mills (or 2 mills for larger counties), with funds collected alongside regular property taxes. All revenue must go into a dedicated special fund exclusively for these services, with strict rules on spending (e.g., no extra certifications beyond state standards) and mandatory reporting to the county board. The bill directly affects county governments and service providers operating sheltered workshops, ensuring tax dollars are used solely for approved disability programs.
