HB 1530 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Requires the levy and collection of a property tax for children's services in certain counties and cities

HB 1530 authorizes counties and cities (outside counties) to levy a property tax of up to $0.25 per $100 of assessed value, but only after voter approval. The tax revenues must fund a dedicated "Community Children's Services Fund" for counseling, family support, and temporary residential services for children under 18. It requires a majority vote in a local election or petition process to implement the tax, and strictly prohibits using these funds for any purpose other than the specified children's services. The bill directly affects local governments that choose to seek voter approval, with the primary beneficiaries being minors in those communities.
