The Youth Police Bill
Tax credit offered for youth police programs
Authorizes a tax credit for certain youth police initiative programs
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would let groups running youth police programs lower their state taxes, meaning taxpayers would pay more.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill could help police groups start youth outreach, but it also cuts state revenue, so everyday Missourians may see higher taxes or fewer public services while the bill is still being debated.
