HCS HB 459 -- MUNICIPAL LAND TRANSFERS SPONSOR: Sutherland COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on Ways and Means by a vote of 8 to 0. This substitute adds county assessors to the list of county officials who must receive certified copies of the ordinances effecting a concurrent detachment and annexation of property between municipalities. FISCAL NOTE: No impact on state funds in FY 2008, FY 2009, and FY 2010. PROPONENTS: Supporters say that the bill provides notification to counties when cities make land transfers which is important since it is the duty of the assessor to keep records on all land in the county. Testifying for the bill were Representative Sutherland; and Missouri Assessors Association. OPPONENTS: There was no opposition voiced to the committee.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
