HB 17 appropriates $12.9 million in state funds for capital improvement projects across Missouri's education system for fiscal year 2025-2026. It directly affects specific schools and programs, including facility upgrades at Special Acres School for the Severely Disabled ($1.59M), Autumn Hill State School ($2.09M), career technical schools in cities of 36,500-40,000 population ($220K), and a disability learning center ($2.10M), among others. The funding comes from General Revenue and Budget Stabilization Funds and is designated as one-time spending, meaning it does not increase future annual budgets. All projects reference previously authorized funding from earlier legislative sessions (e.g., HB 2017, HB 2).
HJR 178 is a proposed constitutional amendment requiring Missouri's legislature to include detailed fiscal impact statements for any bill that modifies local government mandates. These statements must identify affected local governments, estimate all costs (including administrative and compliance), distinguish between one-time and ongoing expenses, and confirm state funding availability. The bill prevents local governments from implementing mandates without guaranteed state funding, suspending requirements if funding isn't secured while keeping the underlying law valid. This directly affects Missouri's cities, counties, and other local entities by ensuring state funding precedes their implementation of new mandates.
HB 2017 is a 2026-2027 fiscal year appropriations bill that allocates specific state funds for education-related projects. It authorizes $1.59 million for facility upgrades at Special Acres School for the Severely Disabled, $2.02 million for Autumn Hill State School renovations, $4.27 million for career-technical equipment in specific school districts, and additional funds for school safety training, vocational grants, and other education programs. The bill directs these funds through designated state revenue accounts to support existing projects previously authorized under prior bills. As a procedural appropriations measure, it does not create new policy but provides funding for designated educational facilities and programs during the 2026-2027 fiscal year.
HB 2002 is Missouri's 2026-2027 state budget for public education, allocating over $4.28 billion to fund public school operations through the School Foundation Program. It directly affects all Missouri public school districts, child care facilities providing pre-K programs, and the State Board of Education, with specific funding for classroom instruction, transportation, small schools, and voluntary open enrollment. Key provisions include $7.5 million for open enrollment programs (requiring receiving districts to receive state adequacy payments), $16.2 million for pre-K grants prioritizing low-income children, and strict rules prohibiting use of student data for marketing. The bill transfers funds from multiple state accounts, including General Revenue, Lottery Proceeds, and Sports Wagering for Education, to support these education programs during the 2026-2027 fiscal year.
HB 2 allocates $6.74 billion in state and federal funds for Missouri's public education system during fiscal year 2026. It directly funds the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, including programs like the School Foundation Program (which supports public schools), Summer EBT benefits, and administrative operations. The bill specifies exact funding sources (e.g., General Revenue, Lottery Proceeds, and State School Moneys Funds) and prohibits using funds for sharing student data for non-educational purposes. This appropriation ensures constitutional compliance while covering expenses, grants, refunds, and distributions for K-12 education across the state.
HB 2007 is a fiscal 2026-2027 appropriations bill that allocates $9.0 million from state funds to the Department of Economic Development for its Regional Engagement Division, including funding for minority inclusion efforts and international trade offices. It also allocates $36.8 million for tax increment financing projects, such as Springfield Jordan Valley Park and Kansas City Bannister Mall, though projects must complete an application process to receive funds. The bill specifies that funds must be used solely for designated purposes, with some flexibility allowed between personal services and expenses in certain sections. This bill provides necessary funding for existing economic development programs without creating new laws or policies.

The bill also allocates $18.08 million for the Office of Administration's IT division, including $62.45 million from a dedicated technology trust fund for statewide IT systems and infrastructure. This is a routine funding measure that authorizes state departments to spend designated amounts for their operations and specific programs, with minor flexibility provisions allowing limited reallocation between budget categories.
HB 5 is a budget bill that allocates state funds for Missouri's Office of Administration, Department of Transportation, Department of Conservation, Department of Public Safety, and Chief Executive's Office for the fiscal year 2025-2026. It specifies exact funding amounts for each department's operations, including programs like the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program and the America 250 Missouri Commission. All funds must be spent only as legally required under Missouri's constitution and cannot be diverted to other purposes. This bill provides the financial resources for existing state operations but does not create new policies or programs.

The bill provides concrete funding for capital improvements, maintenance, and construction projects as described in the appropriations sections, with all funds designated for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026. This is a procedural budget bill, not a policy change, solely authorizing state spending for existing programs.
HB 2004 is Missouri's 2026-2027 appropriations bill for the Department of Revenue, allocating state funds to existing programs like highway fee collection, tax processing, and vehicle licensing. It specifies detailed spending limits for each division (e.g., $41 million for highway operations, $36 million for tax collection) and allows minor budget adjustments (up to 10%) between certain spending categories. The bill does not create new policies or programs but distributes existing state funds to current agency operations for the fiscal year beginning July 2026. It is currently pending in the House Budget Committee after being introduced in January 2026.
