From the Joplin Globe:
Rep. Mike Sutherland, R-Warrenton, called the legislation an important tax policy issue. House Republicans said the bill could help spur economic development.
“This legislation will protect tourism, the business community and significantly aid in job retention for our citizens,” said House Speaker Ron Richard, R-Joplin.
Critics of the court rulings warned the decisions would create problems for businesses, harm tourism and drive up the cost of supplies bought by the state, schools and other government bodies.
Both the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Associated Industries of Missouri praised lawmakers for trying to mitigate the Supreme Court decisions.
