CCS/HCS/SCS/SB 765 - This act repeals the provisions in Section 72.080, RSMo, which allow villages to incorporate in an alternative way rather than requiring a petition by two-thirds of the taxable inhabitants that is approved by the county commission, as is required by Section 80.020, RSMo.

Under the language being repealed, a city, town, or village may incorporate after a number equal to 15% of the registered voters petitions the county commission. The commission must submit the question to the voters for their approval. In order to qualify for incorporation a village need only have the ability to furnish normal municipal services if it has at least 100 inhabitants. The language creating a definition of "village" in Section 72.080, RSMo, is also repealed.

This act contains a severability clause.

In the event the court approves a detachment of property from a public water supply district, the court shall include in its decree a description of the district after the detachment as well as make any appropriate changes to the subdistrict boundary lines. Any changes in subdistrict boundaries shall not become effective until the next annual board of directors election. Certified copies of any court order regarding a detachment [...]

SB 1276 - Under current law, municipalities located within counties subject to the authority of the East-West Gateway Council of Governments, except those located in Franklin County, are required to create a county-wide TIF commission for the approval of tax increment finance projects. This act removes reference to the East-West Gateway Council of Governments and specifically requires municipalities located within the counties of Jefferson, St. Louis and St. Charles to create county-wide TIF commissions for approval of projects. The act provides membership requirements similar to those provided under current law, as well as a time-line for public hearings on projects and determinations of the commission. Failure of the county-wide TIF commission to make a determination on any given project within the time provided within the act will result in the commission being deemed to have made a recommendation in opposition to such project. The act repeals a doubly-enacted version of Section 99.[...]
