SJR 68 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Prohibits the taxation of unrealized gains

This bill prohibits state taxation of unrealized gains, meaning it would prevent taxes on increases in the value of assets (like stocks or property) before those assets are sold. It directly affects taxpayers who hold appreciating assets but haven't yet converted them to cash. The bill establishes a clear rule that unrealized gains cannot be subject to state tax, without specifying implementation details or exceptions. As a procedural measure, it focuses on defining a tax boundary rather than creating new programs or altering existing tax structures.

What changed between versions

5188S.02I - Introduced Senate Committee Substitute - Committee Version · 2 edits
MINOR
This is a committee substitute version of Missouri Senate Joint Resolution 68 that merges it with SJR 96 into a single resolution. The substantive policy content - a proposed constitutional amendment to Article X prohibiting taxation of unrealized gains on assets prior to sale - remains unchanged. The changes are primarily procedural: the bill now covers two resolutions instead of one, and formatting/line numbering was cleaned up.
SCOPE

The resolution now covers both SJR 68 and SJR 96, indicating the committee merged two related proposals into a single constitutional amendment package.

TECHNICAL

Line numbering and formatting were removed from the text; the version was updated from an introduced bill (5188S.02I) to a Senate Committee Substitute (5188S.03C).
