AN ACT

To amend chapter 32, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to forms provided by the department of revenue.

---

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:

            Section A. Chapter 32, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 32.029, to read as follows:

            32.029. 1. This section shall be known and may be cited as the "Paperless Documents and Forms Act".

            2. Beginning no later than January 1, 2013, the department of revenue shall, by January 1, 2019, develop and implement a method by which all documents and forms provided to the public by the department, as well as any records, reports, returns, or other documents required by the department, relating to taxes imposed under chapters 142, 143, 144, and 149, and fees imposed under sections 260.262 and 260.273, are available in an electronic format online and are capable of electronic submission to the department. This section shall not be construed to prohibit the submission of paper forms to the department or to require the department to allow electronic filing of a form that requires a notary or authorization by a third party in order to be effective, or when any other document associated with the form, either expressly or by implication, requires a third party to notarize, authorize, or issue the document. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, no electronic form shall be invalid solely because a paper version of the form has been incorporated or otherwise referenced in a rule.
