JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Delinquent Missouri taxpayers could get their first chance since 2002 to pay back taxes without facing penalties under a proposal that is moving forward in the state Senate.

Senators gave initial approval Wednesday to a tax amnesty measure that would bring an estimated $60 million for fiscal year 2016.

The money would have to be used for rate increases for Medicaid providers or Medicaid dental coverage for adults, which lawmakers have previously funded but the governor has blocked.

Delinquent taxpayers would need to pay between Sept. 1 and Nov. 30 to qualify. They also would need to comply with state tax laws for the next eight years.

Unpaid taxes before Dec. 31 would be eligible.

The measure faces another vote in the Senate before returning to the House.
