Bill > HJR46

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to give the Missouri state legislature the power to veto spending plans from the state's Department of Transportation (DOT), including its Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Specifically, the amendment would allow the legislature to override DOT spending plans with a simple majority vote. The proposed amendment would be submitted to Missouri voters for approval or rejection at the next general election in November 2026 or at a special election called by the governor. If approved, this would represent a significant change in oversight of transportation funding, giving the legislative branch more direct control over how transportation funds are allocated and spent by providing a mechanism to block or modify the DOT's planned expenditures.
