HB 18 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

APPROPRIATIONS BILL

HB 18 is an appropriations bill that allocates $504 million for state government facility maintenance, repairs, and improvements across Missouri for fiscal year 2025-2026. It directs funds from specific reserves (like the Facilities Maintenance Reserve Fund and General Revenue Fund) to cover repairs at schools (including the Missouri School for the Blind), state offices, parks, conservation facilities, and other state buildings. The bill specifies exact funding amounts for each department - such as $11.8 million for K-12 school maintenance and $96.1 million for state park capital projects - and requires all spending to comply with Missouri's constitutional budget rules. This is a procedural funding measure with no new policy changes, solely directing existing money for physical infrastructure upkeep.

MINOR
The bill was amended to create a new funding section for the Department of Natural Resources Division of State Parks, adding $96 million in capital improvement funding for state parks and historic sites. The original text had a formatting error where the page number appeared in the middle of a funding line item, which was corrected. The amendment also changed the bill designation from 'HCS' (House Committee Substitute) to 'SCS' (Senate Committee Substitute) to reflect its current legislative status.
Scope change
The bill now includes a new Section 18.045 that specifically authorizes funding for state park and historic site capital improvements, expanding the scope of facilities covered beyond school programs to include parks, trails, and historic properties.
