Section A. Chapter 137, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 137.727, to read as follows:
137.727. Beginning January 1, 2003, in all counties and in all cities not within a county, a percentage of all ad
valorem property tax collections allocable to each taxing authority within the county and the county shall be
deducted from the collections of taxes each year and shall be deposited into the assessment fund of the county as
required pursuant to section 137.750. The percentage shall be one-half of one percent, not to exceed one hundred
thousand dollars in any calendar year. The county shall bill any taxing authority collecting its own taxes. Moneys
deposited into the assessment fund pursuant to this section shall be expended solely for computer hardware and

installation and maintenance of a geographic information system program, and, any new technological development
that may occur and assist in the assessment of all property, as approved by the county governing body and in
compliance with the state tax commission's approved assessment and equalization maintenance plan. These moneys
shall not be used to reduce county general revenue contributions to the assessment fund.
