HJR 83 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment to grant the legislature the authority to veto department of transportation spending plans

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would allow the Missouri legislature to veto spending plans for the Department of Transportation, including the statewide transportation improvement program. Under this change, the legislature could block specific funding allocations if a majority of its members vote against them. The amendment would be submitted to voters for approval or rejection following the November 2024 election. If passed, it would shift some control over transportation budgets from the executive branch to the legislative branch.
