SB 1016 -- COUNTY TAX RATE DEADLINE SPONSOR: Gross (Schneider) COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on Local Government by a vote of 13 to 0. This bill changes the deadline for a county commission to set the annual tax rate from August 10 to September 20. The bill contains an emergency clause. FISCAL NOTE: No impact on state funds in FY 2007, FY 2008, and FY 2009. PROPONENTS: Supporters say that counties of the first classification cannot and do not meet the August deadline, so the bill will simply codify current practice. Testifying for the bill was Senator Gross. OPPONENTS: There was no opposition voiced to the committee. Julie Jinkens McNitt, Legislative AnalystCopyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
