Authorizes a tax credit to offset fees from the adoption of rescue animals

Summary

The bill would let individual Missouri taxpayers claim a credit against their state income tax for the cost of adopting a pet from a licensed animal shelter, up to $125 per adoption and limited to two credits per year. A statewide cap of $500,000 in total credits would apply each year, and adopters must submit a shelter receipt to claim the credit. The credit is refundable but would be forfeited if the animal is returned, abused, sold, or otherwise not cared for.
