Committee hears HB 35-18 to earmark entertainers’ income tax for arts, libraries and humanities Rep. Renee Reuter’s HB 35-18 would place the athletes-and-entertainers income tax into a dedicated fund and distribute it by statutory percentages (60% Arts Council, 10% Humanities, 10% State Library, 10% Public Broadcasting, 10% Historic Preservation); sponsor and more than a dozen arts and library witnesses testified in favor, arguing earmarking restores original intent and stabilizes grants.

A new bill aims to redirect Missouri's athletes-and-entertainers income tax to support vital arts, libraries, and humanities programs—restoring its original intent and ensuring a stable revenue source across the state.
