HB 1444 -- Notice Requirements for Public Meetings

Sponsor:  Jones (89)

This bill requires the governing body of any city, county, town,
or village or any entity created by these political subdivisions
to hold a public meeting and to allow public comment four
business days prior to voting on an issue involving fee or tax
increases, eminent domain, zoning, transportation development
districts, capital improvement districts, commercial improvement
districts, or tax increment financing.  These provisions will not
apply to any votes or discussions related to proposed ordinances
that require a minimum of two separate readings on different days
or in case of emergencies; and tax measures under these
provisions will not include the setting of the annual tax rates
in Sections 67.110 and 137.055, RSMo.
