Adds the cities of Hannibal and Moberly to the list of cities allowed to impose a sales tax for public safety
HB 866 adds the cities of Hannibal and Moberly to the list of municipalities eligible to impose a local sales tax for public safety. The bill would allow these cities to levy up to a 0.5% sales tax on retail purchases, but only after voters approve it in a ballot measure. Tax revenue must be used exclusively for police, fire, and emergency medical services equipment, salaries, and facilities. This change directly affects Hannibal and Moberly residents, who would be subject to the tax if approved by voters.
