Bill > HB759

This bill establishes a new administrative review process for state transportation improvement program (STIP) decisions, allowing certain government officials to challenge STIP actions through the Administrative Hearing Commission. Specifically, members of the state legislature, county commissioners, and mayors of cities, towns, or villages who are dissatisfied with any STIP action or decision can file a petition for review within 30 days of the annual STIP's publication date. The petition can be filed by registered or certified mail (with the filing date considered the mailing date) or by other methods (with the filing date considered the date of receipt). The review process will follow the procedures outlined in Chapter 536 of Missouri state law, which typically governs administrative hearings and provides guidelines for how such reviews are conducted. This bill provides a formal mechanism for local and state officials to seek reconsideration of transportation improvement decisions that they believe may be problematic or not in the best interest of their communities.
