HJR 90 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment changing the conservation commission membership composition and requiring the election of the commissioners

HJR 90 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Missouri's Conservation Commission is formed. It shifts the commission from being appointed by the governor (currently four members) to being elected by voters in each of Missouri's congressional districts, starting with the 2028 general election. The amendment requires eight nonpartisan commissioners, each elected by voters in their district to serve six-year terms, with staggered initial terms based on district. This directly affects how wildlife conservation decisions are made, as elected commissioners - not appointed officials - will oversee state wildlife resources and laws.
