HB 1708 -- Missouri Military Family Relief Fund

Sponsor:  Jackson

This bill creates the Missouri Military Family Relief Fund in the
state treasury.  The fund will be administered by the Missouri
Adjutant General who can make, subject to appropriations, grants
from the fund to families of persons who are members of the
Missouri National Guard or Missouri residents who are members of
the reserves of the armed forces of the United States and have
been called to active duty as a result of the terrorist attacks
on September 11, 2001.  The Adjutant General is required to
establish the eligibility criteria.

In addition to state appropriations, in each taxable year
beginning January 1, 2004, Missouri residents and corporations
can designate a minimum contribution of $1 on a single return or
$2 on a combined return to be credited to the fund from their
refund amount or by separate payment.

The Director of the Department of Revenue is required to transfer
the contributions on a monthly basis to the State Treasurer for
deposit into the fund.  Any moneys remaining in the fund at the
end of the biennium will not revert to the credit of the General
Revenue Fund.
