Beginning January 1, 2021, any individual may open an account with a financial institution and designate the account, in its entirety, as a long-term dignity savings account to be used to pay or reimburse a qualified beneficiary's eligible expenses. An individual may be the account holder of multiple accounts, and an individual may jointly own the account with another person if such persons file a married filing combined income tax return. To be eligible for the tax deduction under section 143.1160, an account holder shall comply with the requirements of this section.
2. An account holder shall designate, no later than April fifteenth of the year following the tax year during which the account was established, a qualified beneficiary of the long-term dignity savings account. The account holder may designate himself or herself as the qualified beneficiary. The account holder may change the designated qualified beneficiary at any time, but no long-term dignity savings account shall have more than one qualified beneficiary at any time. No account holder shall have multiple accounts with the same qualified beneficiary, but an individual may be designated as the qualified beneficiary of multiple accounts.
3. Moneys may remain in a long-term dignity savings account for an unlimited duration without the interest or income being subject to recapture or penalty.
4. The account holder shall not use moneys in an account to pay expenses of administering the account, except that a service fee may be deducted from the account by a financial institution. The account holder shall be responsible for maintaining documentation for the long-term dignity savings account and for the qualified beneficiary's eligible expenses.

1. For purposes of the tax benefit conferred under the long-term dignity savings account act, the moneys in a long-term dignity savings account may be:
(1) Used for a qualified beneficiary's eligible expenses;
(2) Transferred to another newly created long-term dignity savings account; and
(3) Used to pay a service fee that is deducted by the financial institution.
2. Moneys withdrawn from a long-term dignity savings account shall be subject to recapture in the tax year in which they are withdrawn if:
(1) At the time of the withdrawal, it has been less than a year since the first deposit in the long-term dignity savings account; or
(2) The moneys are used for any purpose other than those specified under subsection 1 of this section.
­­The recapture shall be an amount equal to the moneys withdrawn and shall be added to the Missouri adjusted gross income of the account holder or, if the account holder is not living, the qualified beneficiary.
3. If any moneys are subject to recapture under subsection 2 of this section, the account holder shall pay to the department a penalty in the same tax year as the recapture. If the withdrawal was made ten or fewer years after the first deposit in the long-term dignity savings account, the penalty shall be equal to five percent of the amount subject to recapture and, if the withdrawal was made more than ten years after the first deposit in the account, the penalty shall be equal to ten percent of the amount subject to recapture. These penalties shall not apply if the withdrawn moneys are from a long-term dignity savings account for which the qualified beneficiary died, and the account holder does not designate a new qualified beneficiary during the same tax year.
4. If the account holder dies or, if the long-term dignity account is jointly owned, the account holders die and the account does not have a surviving transfer-on-death beneficiary, then all of the moneys in the account that were used for a tax deduction under section 143.1160 shall be subject to recapture in the tax year of the death or deaths, but no penalty shall be due to the department.
