Journal of the House


Second Regular Session, 93rd General Assembly




SIXTY-SECOND DAY, Wednesday, April 26, 2006

The House met pursuant to adjournment.


            Representative Cooper (120) in the Chair.


            Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.


              Blessed be the Lord, who is our rock. You give us strength and skill for each day’s encounter.


              O Lord, who are we that You even notice us? For we are but a breath; our days are like a passing shadow. Yet You continue to shower us with Your goodness and mercy. You are our fortress, our tower of strength and safety.


              When we feel overwhelmed, frustrated and anxious, You alone know which way we ought to turn for relief.


              We are very much aware that our words and actions are far reaching: touching every man, woman, and child in our state. So we choose our words and actions wisely. We do not proceed as the naive or the brash, but with wisdom: listening attentively to You.


              Now may the Lord of Peace Himself give us peace always in every way. The Lord be with us all.


              For it’s in the name of Your Son we pray. Amen.


            The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.


            The Speaker appointed the following to act as Honorary Pages for the Day, to serve without compensation: Jake Burt, Abby Clutter, Chandra Eppenauer, Melissa Fletcher, Madeleine Marie Biggs, Brody David Smith, Emma Faith Lingle, Erik Michael Stryshak, Juliana Lynn Kehoe, Austin Dunn Lamkin, Anzori Misabishvili, Seitek Kulmamatov, Iryna Brunova and Jasmin Klepper.


            The Journal of the sixty-first day was approved as printed.

              135.610. 1. For all tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, any taxpayer who is a volunteer firefighter in this state shall be allowed a credit against the tax otherwise due under chapter 143, RSMo, excluding withholding tax imposed by sections 143.191 to 143.265, RSMo.

              2. The credit authorized in this section shall be claimed as follows:

              (1) The taxpayer may claim a credit in the amount of one hundred eighty dollars in the first tax year the taxpayer claims the credit if the taxpayer has completed at least twelve hours of any firefighter training program approved by the office of the state fire marshal before or in the tax year for which the credit is claimed. The taxpayer may claim the credit authorized in this subdivision in each subsequent tax year if the taxpayer completes at least twelve hours of any firefighter training program approved by the office of the state fire marshal in such subsequent tax year;

              (2) After the initial tax credit is claimed under subdivision (1) of this subsection and the taxpayer has completed at least thirty hours of any firefighter training program approved by the office of the state fire marshal, the taxpayer may claim a credit in the amount of three hundred sixty dollars in each tax year if the taxpayer has completed at least twelve hours of firefighter training program approved by the office of the state fire marshal in the tax year the taxpayer claims the credit under this subdivision and has within the previous five years received at least twelve hours of training, to include but not limited to the following areas:

              (a) Hazardous materials;

              4. The tax credit allowed by this section shall be claimed by the qualified taxpayer at the time such taxpayer files a return and shall be applied against the income tax liability imposed by chapter 143, RSMo, after all other credits provided by law have been applied. If the amount of the tax credit exceeds the taxpayer's tax liability, the difference shall not be refundable but may be carried forward to any of the taxpayer's four subsequent taxable years.

              5. The director of revenue shall establish the procedure by which the tax credit in this section may be claimed, and shall promulgate rules to implement the provisions of this section.

              6. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, RSMo, 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, RSMo, and, if applicable, section 536.028, RSMo. This section and chapter 536, RSMo, are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536, RSMo, 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, 2006, shall be invalid and void.

              7. Pursuant to section 23.253, RSMo, of the Missouri Sunset Act:

              (1) The provisions of the new program authorized under this section shall automatically sunset six years after the effective date of this section unless reauthorized by an act of the general assembly; and
