Bill > SB600

This bill repeals Section 70.385 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, which previously governed the appointment of commissioners to the Bi-State Development Agency (a regional transportation authority serving Missouri and Illinois). Currently, the law requires the governor to select five commissioners from panels of nominees submitted by the St. Louis City mayor and St. Louis County executive, with specific rules about how and in what order these appointments are made. By repealing this section, the bill removes the requirement that commissioners must be chosen from predetermined panels, thus giving the governor more flexibility in selecting commissioners for the Bi-State Development Agency. The repeal eliminates the detailed procedural requirements that previously dictated the nomination and appointment process, potentially streamlining the selection of commissioners for this regional development agency.
