INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVES HUGHES (Sponsor), RIZZO AND SMITH (71) (Co-sponsors).
6294L.01I D. ADAM CRUMBLISS, Chief Clerk
AN ACT
To amend chapter 135, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to small businesses.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 135, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 135.1624, to read as follows:
135.1624. 1. As used in this section, the term "small business" means any business in this state with an annual Missouri adjusted gross income of no more than five hundred thousand dollars.
2. For all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, any small business shall be allowed to claim any tax credit, tax deduction, and any other exemption from tax that any corporation as defined in chapter 143 in this state is allowed to claim under state law. Such small businesses shall be eligible for such credits, deductions, and exemptions in direct proportion to the average annual Missouri adjusted gross income of corporations reported in each tax year divided by three.
3. The department of revenue may promulgate rules to implement the provisions of this section. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly under chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2012, shall be invalid and void.
4. Under section 23.253 of the Missouri sunset act:
(1) The provisions of the new program authorized under this section shall automatically sunset on December thirty-first six years after the effective date of this section unless reauthorized by an act of the general assembly; and
(2) If such program is reauthorized, the program authorized under this section shall automatically sunset on December thirty-first twelve years after the effective date of the reauthorization of this section; and
(3) This section shall terminate on September first of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the program authorized under this section is sunset.
