Missouri Amendment 1

Official Ballot Title: Shall Missouri continue for 10 years the one-tenth of one percent sales/use tax that is used for soil and water conservation and for state parks and historic sites, and resubmit this tax to the voters for approval in 10 years? The measure allows continued collection of the existing sales and use tax, which generates revenue of approximately $140 million annually. Fair Ballot Language: A “yes” vote will continue for 10 years the one-tenth of one percent sales/use tax that is used for soil and water conservation and for state parks and historic sites. This will be resubmitted to the voters for approval in 10 years. A “no” vote will not continue this sales/use tax. If passed, this measure will not increase or decrease taxes.

State governmental entities estimate the state's Blind Pension Fund could have annual lost revenue of up to $400,000. Local governments expect an unknown fiscal impact.
