SB 650 - Under this act, the fee imposed on recorded
instruments to assist the homeless is increased from $3 to $5.
This act also allows any county governing body to establish a
program to provide assistance to homeless persons. Under current
law, only St. Louis County, St. Charles County, and Jackson
County are authorized establish a fund for the purpose of
assisting homeless families. If the governing body of the county
chooses to establish a program to assist homeless persons, then
$3 of the $5 fee charged will be used by that county to finance
the homeless program. The remaining $2 will be credited to the
Missouri Housing Trust Fund. If the governing body of the county
does not establish a program to assist the homeless, then the
entire $5 will be credited to the Missouri Housing Trust Fund.
