HB 3518: Modifies provisions relating to the allocation of certain nonresident income tax revenues

HB 3518 requires venues and teams to withhold 2% of payments over $300 made to nonresident entertainers (like musicians or actors) and nonresident professional athletes (such as out-of-state sports players). This tax applies to their "personal service income" (salaries, bonuses, etc.) but excludes competition prizes. The collected revenue is allocated for 31 years (through 2030): 60% to the Missouri Arts Council, and 10% each to the Missouri Humanities Council, State Library, and Public Television fund. Starting in 2027, 100% of this tax revenue will directly fund these specific programs instead of the general state budget.

SB 1625: Prohibits the transfer of any balance at the end of a biennium in certain state funds to the state general revenue fund

SB 1625 prevents leftover money in two specific state funds from being moved into the general state budget at the end of each two-year budget cycle. It applies to the Highway Patrol Academy Fund (used for training non-patrol peace officers) and the Crime Victims' Compensation Fund (funded by court surcharges and felony judgments). The bill requires that any remaining funds in these accounts must stay dedicated to their original purposes - such as academy operations or victim compensation services - rather than being redirected to general state spending. This ensures these funds continue supporting targeted programs without being absorbed into the broader state budget.

HB 3331: Requires state departments to provide certain information to the budget committees of the general assembly upon request

HB 3331 requires state departments to share specific information with the House and Senate budget committees upon request. It mandates departments to provide: the names and count of nonprofit groups receiving state funds, copies of their IRS Form 990 tax filings, annual data on individuals served (including zip codes), and any agreements between the department and nonprofits. This bill directly affects state departments managing grant programs and the budget committees overseeing state spending. As a transparency measure, it focuses on procedural information sharing rather than altering funding rules. (Procedural bill; summary kept to 4 sentences as requested.)

HB 3538: Establishes the "Motor Fuel Tax Fund of 2021"

HB 3538 establishes a "Motor Fuel Tax Fund of 2021" by setting tiered taxes on various fuels used in vehicles. It imposes rates like 17 cents per gallon for regular gasoline, 5-17 cents per gallon equivalent for natural gas/propane (increasing over time), and a supplemental tax rising from 2.5 cents to 12.5 cents per gallon starting in 2021. The revenue from these taxes flows into the fund, which must be used for state road and bridge projects. Businesses that qualify (e.g., commercial fleets using fuel for non-highway purposes) can claim refunds by submitting documentation annually, with refunds paid from the fund.
