Repeals the tax imposed on the sale of bingo cards
HB 1761 repeals a specific tax on pull-tab bingo cards sold by suppliers in Missouri, removing a 2% tax on gross receipts that suppliers previously paid. The bill primarily establishes new licensing requirements for businesses that manufacture or supply bingo equipment, including fingerprint checks for key personnel, annual fees (up to $1,000), and bond requirements. It also creates rules for handling delinquent payments by suppliers or manufacturers, requiring credit restrictions until debts are settled. This bill directly affects bingo equipment suppliers and manufacturers operating in Missouri, changing how they are regulated and taxed.
