Sponsor of the bill, Representative Jim Lembke, says the purpose of the bill is to give relief to those seniors who need it, and to keep Missouri attractive to those coming in.
The bill puts a cap on senior citizen's property and home assessments. So, they would only have to pay up to 5% of the increase if it should happen. Sponsor of the bill, Representative Jim Lembke from St. Louis County, says he believes these senior citizens deserve a break after supporting their area schools for such a long time. He also says he hopes the benefits of this bill will entice senior citizens to stick around Missouri and not move away.
