Proposes a constitutional amendment that modifies provisions relating to transportation funding
HJR 83 proposes a constitutional amendment to dedicate highway user fees (including vehicle license fees, fuel taxes, and 73% of motor vehicle sales tax revenue) to a new "state road fund." This fund would pay state road bonds, maintain highways, reimburse counties for road construction, and cover other highway-specific costs as outlined in the amendment. All revenue must be used exclusively for transportation purposes, with strict allocation rules preventing diversion to other state programs. The amendment requires voter approval to take effect, as it modifies Missouri's Constitution.
