Modifies provisions relating to driving offenses committed by teen drivers

Maddy summaryHB 2330 modifies the rules for issuing temporary instruction permits to teen drivers in Missouri, specifically affecting those under sixteen years of age. The bill requires that any teen driver with such a permit must be accompanied by a licensed adult passenger who is at least twenty-one years old and actively providing driving instruction. For drivers under sixteen, this accompanying adult must be a parent, grandparent, guardian, or a qualified instructor, and the law mandates a minimum of forty hours of behind-the-wheel practice, including ten hours at night. Additionally, the bill updates procedures for verifying lawful presence in the United States and clarifies how points are assessed for traffic violations committed by permit holders.

Primary HB 2264

In committee · Missouri House · Lead sponsor

Requires counties to provide for semiannual payments of current and delinquent personal property taxes

Maddy summaryHB 2264 requires county governments to offer taxpayers the option of paying current and delinquent personal property taxes in two installments throughout the year. Under this bill, counties must allow these semiannual payments at the taxpayer's choice, while still permitting counties to set their own rules for how estimates are made and how interest is charged on missed payments. The law also clarifies that making installment payments does not stop a taxpayer from contesting the tax amount and excludes financial institutions that handle taxes from escrow accounts from these requirements. This change directly affects property owners in counties that adopt the new payment schedule, giving them more flexibility in managing their tax bills.
