Bill > HB239

This bill requires the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) to publicly disclose two key pieces of information on its official website: the estimated cost and projected completion date for any construction, maintenance, or repair project on the state highway system. Specifically, these details must be published at the same time the bidding process for a contract closes, which ensures transparency in infrastructure project planning. The bill amends Chapter 227 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section (227.101) that mandates this disclosure. By requiring MoDOT to publicly share cost estimates and completion timelines at the outset of a project's bidding process, the bill aims to improve public accountability and provide citizens with more information about state transportation infrastructure investments.
