The Committee on Local Government held a public hearing on Senate Bill 10 23, which would allow additional Missouri library districts to ask voters to impose a sales tax and includes provisions that would offset property tax levies and add carve-outs for certain counties. Testimony came from multiple library directors and association representatives; committee members asked questions about impacts on nonresidents and transition mechanics. The committee plans to executive session on the bill next Monday.
