Establishes the Small Business Start-up Fee Reduction Act

HB 3084, the Small Business Start-up Fee Reduction Act, reduces or waives specific state fees for Missouri micro-businesses (3 or fewer employees, excluding the owner) during their first 24 months of operation. It covers formation fees for LLCs, business name registrations, vendor certifications, and annual reporting fees, while also prohibiting penalties for timely first-time filings during this period. The bill requires the Department of Economic Development and Secretary of State to coordinate fee reductions, publish an annual report tracking participation and costs, and partner with business support organizations to offer voluntary services like financial training. Businesses must qualify as micro-businesses during their start-up period to access these fee benefits, which take effect January 1, 2027.
