HB 1350 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to incentives for interstate business relocation

HB 1350 prevents Missouri from issuing tax credits or retaining state withholding taxes for jobs that relocate from Kansas border counties (Johnson, Miami, or Wyandotte) to Missouri border counties. It directly affects Missouri businesses seeking these economic incentives for such relocations. The bill includes a certification process: Missouri’s economic development director must notify state leaders if Kansas blocks similar incentives, triggering the restriction, or if Kansas is actively providing them, which would delay the restriction until Kansas stops. The law expires on August 28, 2025, unless the restriction is already in effect.
