HB 973 -- Fee Agent Offices Sponsor: Silvey This bill requires the Department of Revenue to give charitable organizations and local political subdivisions priority when awarding fee office contracts. Any fees collected by a tax-exempt organization or political subdivision will be retained and used by the organization or political subdivision. However, an employee under any fee office contract will be prohibited from receiving more than $100,000 per year for his or her services. Beginning August 28, 2008, any person who waits 30 minutes or longer at a fee office for service cannot be charged a processing fee. The department must develop and implement procedures for determining the length of time a person has waited. The department must develop and implement, by August 28, 2008, an electronic license renewal system which must be used by all fee offices for renewing licenses.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
