SCS/SB 210 - This act relates to county government. SECTION 50.530 - This act defines an "accounting officer" as the county auditor in counties of the first and second classification and county clerks in counties of the third and fourth classification. Currently, the statute uses out-of-date terminology to classify counties. This act also defines a "budget officer" as a person appointed by the county commission of counties of the first classification or the presiding commissioner in Cass County and counties of the second classification, unless the commission designates the county clerk. The "budget officer" in counties of the third and fourth classification is the county clerk. Currently, the statute provides that the presiding commissioner is the "budget officer" only in counties of the second classification. SECTION 64.215 - This act requires that the county commissioner and county highway engineer, as members of the county planning board, be nonvoting members in Cass County. Currently, these individuals are members on the board with voting power in Cass County. SECTION 67.1159 - This act allows the St. Charles County Convention and Sports Facilities Authority to attach a lien for non-payment of taxes. SECTION 67.1775 - Currently, the governing body of St. Louis or any county, may after voter approval, levy a sales tax not to exceed one-quarter of a cent in the county for the purpose of providing services, including counseling, family support, and temporary residential services to persons nineteen years of age or less. This act would allow the Department of Revenue to collect the "Community Services for Children Sales Tax". Also, it rephrases the ballot language. SECTION 67.1850 - This act changes the definition of county and municipality in Chapter 67, RSMo, concerning political subdivisions. SECTION 115.019 - This act authorizes the Cass County Commission to seek the formation of a board of election commissioners in Cass County. Upon majority vote of the Commission, the question of whether to form a board of election commissioners in Cass County shall be placed on the ballot. SECTION 137.115 - This act provides that a political subdivision, contained within two or more counties where at least one of the counties has not opted out of the provisions of HB 1150 (2002) and at least one such county has opted out, will calculate a single tax rate as in effect prior to the enactment of HB 1150. SECTION 137.130 - This act provides that whenever an assessor or an employee has insufficient information to assess any real property, he or she shall assess the property based upon physical inspection. In order to do so, the assessor or an employee shall have the right to enter into any lands for the purpose of assessing the real or personal property. The assessor may not enter the interior of a structure on residential property for the inspection. SECTION 205.010 - Currently, any county may operate a public health center. Whenever the county commission is presented with a petition signed by at least 10% of the voters asking that an annual tax be levied the county shall submit the question to the voters at an election. In addition to the current method, this act would require the Cass or Cooper County Commission to submit the question of establishing a public health center to the voters if the commission, by a majority vote, chose to do so. SECTIONS 488.426 & 488.429 - Currently, there is an expiration date on all of Section 488.429, RSMo. This act limits the expiration date of December 31, 2014, to the provision allowing for debt service on county bonds for renovation and enhancement projects. The additional $10 fee for Franklin County in Section 488.426 will expire on December 31, 2014. SUSAN HENDERSON
