Upon voter approval, beginning in 2027, this constitutional amendment would allow political subdivisions granted the power to tax by the Missouri Constitution and by the General Assembly to increase sales taxes without authorization by the General Assembly.
Political subdivisions would have to receive voter approval in order to increase any sales tax or to change the purpose of any sales tax authorized by this provision of the Constitution.
The ability to tax granted by this resolution would be in addition to any other authorization to tax granted to the political subdivision by the General Assembly.
This amendment is similar to HJR 29 (2025).
