Modifies laws regarding the composition of the missouri highways and transportation commission
HB 760 changes the structure of Missouri's Highways and Transportation Commission. It requires the commission to have six members (one from each congressional district), limits the number of members from the same political party to half (with special rules for odd numbers), and mandates that commissioners must be Missouri taxpayers and residents for at least five years. The bill also establishes a new leadership rotation system where the two most senior members from opposing parties alternate as chair and vice chair, and requires the governor to appoint additional members after 2026 based on a list of nominees approved by a two-thirds vote of both legislative chambers. These changes aim to ensure balanced representation and streamline appointments for the commission overseeing transportation infrastructure.
