HB 2012 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

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 2012 is Missouri's 2026-2027 state budget bill, allocating nearly $4.3 million for the Governor's office and over $16.5 million for the Lieutenant Governor's office to fund state departments, personal services, equipment, and cultural programs. It specifically directs funds to the Missouri Arts Council, Missouri Humanities Council (including grants for African American history museums and baseball heritage projects), and public broadcasting, while transferring $6.4 million to the Missouri Arts Council Trust Fund and $1.8 million to the Missouri Humanities Council Trust Fund. As a standard appropriations bill, it provides mandatory funding for existing state operations and programs without creating new policies or regulations.

MINOR
The bill was reclassified from a Senate Committee Substitute to a Senate Floor Substitute, indicating it has advanced to a later stage of the legislative process. The most significant substantive change involves a reduction in funding for the Lieutenant Governor's office, decreasing the General Revenue Fund allocation by $80,000 and lowering the authorized Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) staff count from 8.00 to 7.00, resulting in a total budget reduction of $80,000.
FISCAL

The appropriation for the Lieutenant Governor's Personal Service and Equipment was reduced from $942,044 to $862,044, primarily due to a $80,000 decrease in the General Revenue Fund allocation.

The maximum number of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions authorized for the Lieutenant Governor's office was reduced from 8.00 to 7.00.

TECHNICAL

The bill's classification was updated to reflect its progression from a Senate Committee Substitute to a Senate Floor Substitute.
