Sen. Andrew Koenig

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a prohibition for Missouri public entities, including state agencies and local governments, from accepting payments made with central bank digital currency. It also prevents these same entities from participating in any tests or trials of such currency conducted by the Federal Reserve. The legislation defines "central bank digital currency" as digital money issued directly to consumers by federal or foreign central banks and clarifies that "public entity" covers a wide range of state and local government bodies.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes an amendment to the Missouri Constitution to change how state and local taxes are structured. It allows the General Assembly to define income for tax purposes using federal laws and sets a maximum state income tax rate of 5.5%. Additionally, it prevents sales taxes from being expanded to cover new services or transactions that were not taxed as of January 1, 2015, with specific exceptions for digital subscriptions and online purchases. The measure also bans sales taxes on video services if a separate franchise fee is already charged to the provider. If approved by voters, these changes would take effect at the next general election in November 2024.

Maddy summarySB 1001 modifies Missouri property tax laws to create a more uniform assessment system and strengthen protections for property owners during disputes. The bill requires that all properties within the same classification be assessed at the same rate, mandating that any individual property assessed higher than the average for its class be lowered upon appeal. It also shifts the burden of proof to the tax assessor in specific counties and cities to demonstrate that a property's value has not increased beyond its true market value. Additionally, the legislation allows taxpayers to pay their taxes under protest without penalty and provides for the reimbursement of legal fees if an appeal successfully reduces a property's assessed value by a significant percentage.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Missouri voters approve changes to the state constitution. It requires that any proposed amendment, whether from the legislature or citizen initiative, pass with a majority of votes statewide and a majority in more than half of the congressional districts to take effect. The bill also sets rules for how these amendments are presented on ballots and published in newspapers before voting. Additionally, it adjusts the timeline for when approved amendments become official, setting the effective date to thirty-one days after the election.
