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.
HB 2019 is the 2026-2027 state budget bill allocating $94.7 million in funding for specific Missouri state agency projects. It directly affects the Department of Natural Resources (funding $6.75 million for park infrastructure and historic properties), the Department of Conservation ($40.2 million for land acquisition and wildlife projects), the Missouri State Highway Patrol ($17.6 million for facility upgrades), the National Guard ($35 million for facilities), and the Department of Social Services ($680,040 for Camp Avery improvements). 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.
HB 2010 is a fiscal year 2026-2027 appropriations bill that allocates $13.1 million to Missouri's Department of Mental Health for specific operational needs. It includes $15 million for contracted staffing at facilities like Fulton State Hospital and Northwest Missouri Psychiatric Rehabilitation Center, $4.1 million to implement a new electronic health record system across all mental health facilities, and $1.7 million for staff training and the "Caring for Missourians' Mental Health Initiative." The funding covers personnel, equipment, and program operations, with specified flexibility allowances between budget categories. This bill directly affects state-operated mental health facilities, employees, and patients receiving services through these programs.
SB 1578 creates a new dedicated fund to hold money from the sale of state-owned land or buildings. This ensures those proceeds are kept separate from the general state budget, preventing them from being mixed with other government funds. The bill directly affects how the state manages its property sale revenues, requiring specific accounting for these funds. It does not change property sale processes but alters where the money goes after a sale.
HB 2003 is Missouri's 2026-2027 state budget bill allocating funds to the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development. It provides $29 million for the Higher Education Academic Scholarship Program, $84 million for the Access Missouri Financial Assistance Program, and $16.8 million for academic scholarships, all funded through state revenue and trust funds. The bill also allocates $601,000 for regulating proprietary schools, $200,000 for indemnifying individuals affected by proprietary school closures, and $1.5 million for non-Common Core-related donations. These funds are designated for specific programs and must be used as outlined, with some flexibility between budget categories. The bill covers the fiscal year from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
HB 18 is a 2025-2026 fiscal year appropriations bill that allocates $18.7 million from the Facilities Maintenance Reserve Fund for repairs and maintenance at public schools, $2.1 million from General Revenue for school programs, and $4.8 million from the School for the Blind Trust Fund for the Missouri School for the Blind. It also funds $615,165 for lottery headquarters repairs, $122 million transferred to the Facilities Maintenance Reserve Fund, and over $151 million for statewide facility maintenance and emergency requirements across departments like Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Facilities Management. The bill directs funding for capital improvements, repairs, and operational needs at state buildings and facilities for the period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.
HB 13 allocates approximately $6.5 million from state funds to cover real property leases, utilities, furniture, and building modifications for Missouri state departments and agencies during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It specifically funds departments like Education (including school facilities), Revenue, Agriculture, and the Ethics Commission, with amounts drawn from designated funds such as General Revenue and federal programs. The bill allows limited flexibility (e.g., 5% between certain departments) to shift funds within the approved budget categories but prohibits using these funds for purposes beyond the specified lease and facility needs. This is a routine funding authorization, not a policy change, and does not alter existing laws or create new obligations.
SB 1031 prohibits state departments from using public funds for specific diversity initiatives. It directly affects state agencies and their budgets by banning expenditures on certain programs related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Currently, the bill has been prefaced and referred to the Government Efficiency Committee for review.
This bill (SJR 75) has a very limited description in the provided context, stating only that it "places limits on increases of the assessment of certain properties."

The context indicates it is a Senate Joint Resolution (SJR) currently in early procedural stages (prefiled, first reading).
