Bill > HB1161

This bill modifies the provisions for establishing and abolishing alternative county highway commissions in Missouri. Currently, an alternative county highway commission can only be established or abolished through a voter referendum. The bill expands this by allowing county governing bodies to also vote to abolish an alternative highway commission. Additionally, if a county does not adopt or abolishes its alternative highway commission, the bill provides more flexibility in governance, allowing the county to choose between the traditional county highway commission structure or an alternative system outlined in a different section of Missouri statutes. This change gives county governments more discretion in managing their highway infrastructure and administration, potentially streamlining decision-making processes for local transportation oversight.
