HJR 101 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment establishing a joint committee on conservation oversight

HJR 101 proposes a constitutional amendment to create a joint committee that must approve certain actions by Missouri's Department of Conservation and Conservation Commission before they take effect. The committee would consist of three House members (including one minority member) and three Senate members (including one minority member), who would select their own chair. It requires pre-approval for rule changes, property purchases, leadership appointments, and other conservation-related decisions. This directly affects the Department of Conservation's operations by adding a legislative review step before implementing key actions.
