AN ACT
To repeal sections 233.280, 537.620, and 537.635, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof three new sections relating to political subdivisions.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Sections 233.280, 537.620, and 537.635, RSMo, are repealed and three new sections enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as sections 233.280, 537.620, and 537.635, to read as follows:
233.280. 1. County collectors shall receive for collecting special tax bills authorized by sections 233.170 to 233.315 the same compensation as if collected as county taxes.
2. Clerks of county commissions shall receive for issuing and attesting each special tax bill issued under sections 233.170 to 233.315, six cents; for recording an abstract or description of each such tax bill, five cents; for making the record of a special tax payable in installments, four cents for each tract of land against which such tax is assessed; for attesting special assessment bonds issued under sections 233.170 to 233.315, and registering the same, twenty cents for each bond; for any other services performed under sections 233.170 to 233.315, such compensation as may be fixed by law, and if not fixed by law, such as may be fixed by the county commission.
3. Commissioners of road districts incorporated under sections 233.170 to 233.315 shall receive [no compensation for their services, but shall be paid any and all expenses they may incur in transacting business of the district, including reasonable attorney's fees] such compensation for their services as a majority of the road district commissioners shall fix from time to time, not to exceed one hundred dollars per month, provided the compensation of a commissioner shall not change during the time for which he or she was elected or appointed. In addition to the compensation for their services, commissioners of road districts incorporated under sections 233.170 to 233.315 shall be paid any and all expenses they incur in transacting business of the district, including reasonable attorney's fees.
537.620. Notwithstanding any direct or implied prohibitions in chapter 375, 377, or 379, any three or more political subdivisions of this state may form a business entity for the purpose of providing liability and all other insurance, including insurance for elderly or low-income housing in which the political subdivision has an insurable interest, for any of the subdivisions upon the assessment plan as provided in sections 537.600 to 537.650. Any public governmental body or quasi-public governmental body, as defined in section 610.010, and any political subdivision of this state or any other state may join this entity and use public funds to pay any necessary assessments. Except for being subject to the regulation of the director of the department of insurance, financial institutions and professional registration under sections 375.930 to 375.948, sections 375.1000 to 375.1018, and sections 537.600 to 537.650, any such business entity shall not be deemed to be an insurance company or insurer under the laws of this state, and the coverage provided by such entity and the administration of such entity shall not be deemed to constitute the transaction of an insurance business. Risk coverages procured under this section shall not be deemed to constitute a contract, purchase, or expenditure of public funds for which a public governmental body, quasi-public governmental body, or political subdivision is required to solicit competitive bids.
537.635. The association may, on the seventh day thereafter, commence to do business. The association shall be a body corporate, and shall do business as a corporation. The association shall be entitled to close meetings, records, and votes as authorized in chapter 610 to the extent that such meetings, records, and votes pertain to actuarial analysis, loss history, claims, data, reports, and similar information relating to the determination of member rates and contributions. No member of the association shall be liable for any amounts because of his or her membership in the association other than his or her assessments as provided in the articles of association and the bylaws of the association. The business of the association shall be conducted so as to preclude any distribution of income, profit or property of the association to the individual members thereof except in payment of claims or indemnities or upon the final dissolution of the association, but the association may pay dividends to its members as long as the association has a positive surplus both before and after any such dividend is declared.
