HB 2925 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions governing local property tax ballots

HB 2925 modifies how areas outside a municipality can join a city's park system through a voter-approved property tax. It requires property owners outside a city to gather signatures from 5% of qualified voters in their area, get municipal approval, and then hold a public vote on a park tax rate matching city residents' rate. If approved, the area joins the park system with proportional representation on the park board based on population, and residents gain equal access to city park facilities. The bill directly affects property owners outside municipal boundaries seeking park services and the city park boards managing those systems.

What changed between versions

Introduced House Committee Substitute · 4 edits
MODERATE
The bill was converted from an original introduction to a House Committee Substitute, which involved reformatting the header and correcting a discrepancy in the number of new sections enacted. The original bill stated it would create one hundred new sections, but the committee version corrected this figure to ninety-nine to match the actual number of new sections included in the text.
Scope change
The scope of the bill remains focused on repealing specific Missouri statutes and enacting new sections regarding local property tax ballots; however, the count of new sections was adjusted from one hundred to ninety-nine.
TECHNICAL

The number of new sections to be enacted was changed from one hundred to ninety-nine to ensure the header accurately reflects the content of the bill.

The bill title was updated from 'Introduced' to 'House Committee Substitute' to reflect its current legislative status.

The Chief Clerk's reference number was updated from 5497H.01I to 5497H.05C.

Page numbering and line breaks in the list of repealed statutes were reorganized to fit the new formatting layout.
