HB 1449 -- Economic Development Incentives in the Kansas City
Metropolitan Area

Sponsor:  Berry

This bill prohibits the issuance of a tax credit under certain
economic incentive programs for an otherwise qualifying job if
the job relocates to the State of Missouri from the State of
Kansas and from within 30 miles of the Missouri border if Kansas
prohibits any tax credit for jobs or economic incentives for job
creation or an incentive for any job that moves from Missouri to
Kansas and the new location is within 30 miles of the Missouri
border.

If, within two years of the bill's effective date, Kansas has not
enacted substantially similar legislation, for every $1 spent by
Kansas for promoting economic development in the Kansas counties
that are part of the Kansas City metropolitan area, Missouri must
spend $1.50 for promoting economic development in the Missouri
counties that are part of the Kansas City metropolitan area.
"Kansas City metropolitan area" means the multi-county
metropolitan area straddling the border between Missouri and
Kansas consisting of the Missouri counties of Cass, Clay,
Jackson, and Platte and the Kansas counties of Johnson,
Leavenworth, and Wyandotte.
