So at what age does the Missouri proposed bill have to reach retirement?

62-65-67?

COURT BATTLE COULD BE BREWING OVER MISSOURI BILL TO BRING PROPERTY TAX RELIEF TO SENIORS

A bill signed by Gov. Mike Parson that aims to bring property tax relief to Missouri senior citizens could end up in court. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Tony Luetkemeyer, R-Parkville, would allow counties to freeze the property tax rates of Missouri seniors.

Doug Hayter, executive director of the Missouri Association of School Administrators, said the bill is vague.

“What is Social Security eligibility? Is it just at 62 to 65, 67, et cetera? How do you gather that information on birthdates about the person of the primary residence turns 65, so there’s a lot of semantics I think involved in the implementation of this that can be really tricky,” said Hayter. “Some have even questioned does the language say, is it insinuating this is only for the county’s portion of property tax paid? We don’t believe that’s the case. We think it means all taxing jurisdictions, but that question has been raised as well. So, I will be surprised as well personally, if this doesn’t eventually end up in court.”
