HB 2008 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Appropriates money for the expenses, grants, refunds, and distributions of the Department of Public Safety and the Department of National Guard

HB 2008 is a fiscal year 2026-2027 appropriations bill that allocates approximately $39.36 million from state and federal funds to Missouri's Department of Public Safety (DPS). It directly funds specific DPS programs including law enforcement scholarships, drug task forces, school safety initiatives, a FIFA World Cup preparation grant, and violence prevention programs. The bill specifies funding sources like General Revenue, federal grants, and specialized funds (e.g., Crime Victims Compensation Fund) for each program's designated purpose. No new policy changes are created; this is a routine funding authorization for existing DPS operations and programs.
