HJR 165 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to taxation

This proposed constitutional amendment would generally prohibit expanding Missouri's sales and use taxes to cover new services or transactions after January 1, 2015. However, it would allow expanding these taxes specifically to fund reductions in the state's individual income tax. Any revenue generated from such tax expansions would not count toward certain constitutional revenue limits. If approved by voters, it would require legislative action to adjust tax policies in line with these rules.
