There will be four amendments on the Missouri Ballot for August 4th.
Amendment 1 will renew the Parks & Soil Sales Tax. It is not a tax increase; it is a renewal of an existing sales tax that has funded state parks, historic sites, and soil conservation programs since 1984.
Amendment 2 requires charter counties to elect their assessor instead of allowing charter counties to appoint their own. This measure affects St. Louis County, Jackson County, St. Charles County, Jefferson County, and Clay County. It does not affect any local counties, all of which already elect their assessor.
Amendment 4 raises the bar to pass constitutional amendments in Missouri. Such referendums must pass a majority of congressional districts as well as pass by a majority votes.
Amendment 5 phases out the income tax in Missouri and gives lawmakers the unlimited power to raise sales taxes to replace it with as well as tax new goods and services that had not been taxed before.
The measure to repeal the right to reproductive healthcare in Missouri will be on the November ballot.
