  (4)  Develop legislation that will not discriminate against Missouri dealers and will safeguard local revenue to provide vital local services.

  7.  On or before December 31, 2017, the task force shall submit a report on its findings to the governor and general assembly.  The report shall include any dissenting opinions in addition to any majority opinions.

  8.  The task force shall expire on January 1, 2018, or upon submission of a report under subsection 7 of this section, whichever is earlier.
