  • With Concerns Over Quickly Diminishing Time Left in the 2019 Legislative Session and Significant Budget and Policy Decisions
    With concerns over quickly diminishing time left in the 2019 legislative session and significant budget and policy decisions remaining, tension within the Capitol halls is becoming more present by the day. With more time being spent on chamber floor debate and legislators working later into the evening, most welcomed the arrival of the annual legislative charity softball tournament Wednesday evening. Competitive ballgames hopefully relieved stress this week but are unlikely to create much peace for the final five weeks that remain. Port authority The House dedicated floor time Monday afternoon to revisit HB 1061, sponsored by Representative Jon Patterson (R-Lee’s Summit). The bill exempts sales and leases of real or personal property made by or to any port authority involving the use of such tax-exempt bonds from taxation. After brief discussion, the House passed the bill by a vote of 92-57. The bill now will be sent to the Senate for further consideration. Sales tax cap The House dedicated floor time Monday afternoon to revisit HB 374, sponsored by Representative Phil Christofanelli (R-St. Peters). The bill, as originally filed, creates a statewide cap preventing political subdivisions from adopting sales tax rates higher than 14%. This cap includes the combination of all state and local sales taxes. During the bill’s progression through the committee process, substitute language was adopted to remove cap language and replace it with provisions requiring sales tax ballots to include accumulative data of all local taxes to inform voters of actual tax burdens within their municipalities. Additionally, the bill requires any seller who sells more than $500,000 worth of goods per year to clearly state on the sales receipt or sales invoice the total rate of all sales tax imposed on the sale.
