Proposes a constitutional amendment establishing funding for pensions for the blind
HJR 147 proposes a constitutional amendment to establish a dedicated funding source for pensions for eligible blind residents in Missouri. It would require a property tax levy of 0.5 to 3 cents per $100 of taxable property valuation, with annual funds matching the 2026-27 fiscal year appropriation for the blind pension fund. Any unused funds after pension payments would first support the Commission for the Blind and any remaining balance would transfer to the public school fund. This amendment, if approved by voters, would permanently guarantee this funding mechanism within Missouri's Constitution.
