AN ACT
To repeal section 67.1063, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to assistance for the homeless.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 67.1063, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 67.1063, to read as follows:
67.1063. 1. The governing body of the county may provide for a program of assistance to homeless persons, including the repair or replacement of housing structures which are in violation of the county housing code, as provided by sections 67.1062 to 67.1071. The governing body is hereby authorized to impose by order or ordinance the fee provided by subsection 2 or 3 of this section in order to finance this program.
2. In addition to the fees imposed in section 59.319, RSMo, a user fee of [three] ten dollars shall be charged and collected on all instruments recorded with the recorder of deeds, over and above any other fees required by law, as a condition precedent to the recording of any instrument, but such fee shall not become effective unless the governing body of the county submits to the voters of the county a proposal to authorize the county to impose such fee and a majority of the votes cast on the proposal are in favor of the proposal.
3. In addition to the fees imposed in section 59.319, RSMo, and in subsection 2 of this section, in any county with a population over nine hundred thousand, a user fee of three dollars shall be charged and collected on all instruments recorded with the recorder of deeds, over and above any other fees required by law, as a condition precedent to the recording of any instrument, but such fee shall not become effective unless the governing body of the county submits to the voters of the county a proposal to authorize the county to impose such fee and a majority of the votes cast on the proposal are in favor of the proposal. If the proposal is approved, the fee shall be forwarded to the executive of the county for distribution to any agency, as defined in section 67.1062, which renovates or rehabilitates housing structures for the purpose of sale at market rates to market-rate buyers.
