To amend chapter 701, RSMo, relating to property tax collection by adding thereto one new section relating to the same subject.
Section A. Chapter 701, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 701.307, to read as follows:
701.307. The governing body of any county, any city not within a county and any municipality may, by ordinance or order for a period of up to two years, provide for an abatement of any part of current real property taxes, other than any part allocated to schools and the blind pension fund, assessed and levied against an owner of any individual parcel of real estate which contains a child-occupied facility or dwelling involved in a lead abatement project conforming to the requirements of sections 701.300 to 701.338. Upon application, the department of health or its designee shall provide a certificate of tax abatement to any owner who demonstrates the qualifications necessary to obtain an abatement pursuant to this section. The department of health may promulgate any rules necessary to implement the tax abatement authorized by this section and may charge a reasonable processing fee for the issuance of certificates of tax abatement pursuant to this section. No rule or portion of a rule shall become effective unless it has been promulgated pursuant to the provisions of chapter 536, RSMo.
