Establishes requirements for library boards to be elected
The bill title "Establishes requirements for library boards to be elected" is inconsistent with the actual content of HB 557. The bill text describes a tax withholding requirement for payments to nonresident entertainers and professional athletes, not library governance. Specifically, it mandates a 2% tax withholding on payments exceeding $300 to nonresident performers or athletes, with funds allocated as follows: 60% to the Missouri Arts Council, and 10% each to the Missouri Humanities Council, Library Networking Fund, and Missouri Public Television Fund for 31 years (through 2030). This creates a new revenue stream for cultural and educational programs from out-of-state performers and athletes.
