Proposes a constitutional amendment to allow counties and cities to increase local sales taxes upon approval by the voters

HJR 29 proposes a constitutional amendment allowing Missouri counties and cities to increase local sales taxes with voter approval instead of requiring state legislative authorization. It would directly affect all Missouri counties and cities by giving them a new path to raise sales taxes for local purposes. The key mechanism requires local governing bodies to submit tax increase proposals to voters at general presidential elections, using a specific ballot question format, with the increase taking effect after the election. If voters reject the proposal, the local government cannot try again until the next presidential election.
