Bill > HJR133

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to be voted on during the 2026 general election in Missouri, which would grant the state legislature the power to veto spending plans from the Department of Transportation (DOT), including its Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Specifically, the amendment would allow the general assembly to override DOT spending plans with a simple majority vote, giving the legislature more direct control over transportation funding and project decisions. The proposed constitutional change would modify Article III of the Missouri Constitution by adding a new Section 54 that explicitly outlines this legislative veto power. If approved by voters, this amendment would represent a significant shift in how transportation spending is authorized in the state, providing the legislature with increased oversight of the DOT's financial planning and project selection processes.
