HB 2258 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the recreation sales tax for certain counties

HB 2258 modifies Missouri's recreation sales tax rules to allow specific counties to impose a 1% sales tax for recreational projects. It targets counties with defined population sizes (e.g., third-class counties with 9,900-11,000 residents and adjacent second-class counties with 80,000-100,000 residents), requiring voter approval via referendum before the tax takes effect. Funds collected would go into a dedicated "County Recreation Sales Tax Trust Fund," separate from state funds, with monthly distributions to the counties. This bill directly affects eligible counties and their residents who would pay the new tax on retail purchases. The changes replace seven existing tax sections with six new provisions governing the tax's implementation and fund management.
