Summary
Rep. Don Mayhew introduced HB 22‑05 to exempt retirement income — public and private — from state income tax, arguing the change would leave more dollars in retirees’ pockets and mirror similar measures in other states; no witnesses testified at the hearing.
Representative Don Mayhew introduced House Bill 22‑05, a proposal to exempt retirement income, including public and private pensions, from Missouri state income tax.
Mayhew said the change would return more money to retired households and noted similar policies in other states. "It takes income tax off of retirement income, including all public retirement income and all private retirement income," Mayhew told the committee.
Members of the committee thanked the sponsor for the presentation; no witnesses appeared to testify either in support or opposition and the hearing concluded on that item.
