Appropriates money for the expenses, grants, refunds, and distributions of statewide elected officials, the Judiciary, the Office of the State Public Defender, and the General Assembly

HB 12 is a funding bill that allocates $4.77 million for the Governor's office (including mansion expenses) and $821,000 for the Lieutenant Governor's office for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It provides funding for Missouri's statewide elected officials (like the Secretary of State and Attorney General), the Judiciary, the State Public Defender, and the General Assembly's operations, including member salaries and committee expenses. The bill includes $2.5 million in one-time funding for a library and museum in a qualifying city, with all allocations restricted to constitutionally permitted uses. This bill does not create new policies but ensures funding for existing state offices and programs as required by Missouri law.
