SB 527 - This act modifies the cost of a merchant's license. The section governing this law was double enacted in 1994. That means that different language was passed in two bills that enacted the same section. This act repeals one of the versions of this section entirely and modifies the other.
The resulting fee structure from this act will enable the governing body of all charter counties and the city of St. Louis to assess a fee of up to $25, adjusted annually for inflation, not to exceed $100. Current law sets the fee in these counties and St. Louis at $5, except for Jackson county, where current law lets the governing body set the fee, not to exceed $100.
In all other counties, this act sets a fee of $25.
Currently, the double enacted sections conflict on this amount,
setting it at $5 in one and $25 in the other.
