Proposes a constitutional amendment modifying provisions relating to revenue derived from highway users that is deposited into the state road fund
HJR 177 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Missouri distributes revenue from fuel taxes collected on highway users. The amendment would direct 10% of remaining net fuel tax revenue to a County Aid Road Trust Fund (with specific rules for cities outside counties), 15% to incorporated cities/towns for road construction and maintenance, 1% to counties based on agricultural land, and the remainder to the state road fund. All funds must be used exclusively for roads, bridges, and related infrastructure - no salaries or equipment purchases are permitted under the county fund provisions. This amendment, if approved by voters, would modify existing distribution formulas and prevent local governments from imposing new fuel-related taxes without voter approval.
