SPONSOR: McGaugh
COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "Do Pass by Consent" by the Standing Committee on Local Government by a vote of 14 to 0. Voted "Do Pass" by the Standing Committee on Consent and Procedure by a vote of 8 to 0.
Currently, a township county can not allow taxpayers the option to pay any part of their real and personal property taxes on an annual, semiannual, or quarterly basis. This bill allows township counties the option to pass such an order or ordinance.
This bill is the same as HB 2356 (2024).
PROPONENTS: Supporters say that the taxpayers of larger counties have more flexibility in payment plans and there's no reason to deny this option to taxpayers in township counties.
Testifying in person for the bill were Representative McGaugh; and Missouri County Collectors Association.
OPPONENTS: There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
