Bill > HJR146

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to be submitted to Missouri voters at the next general election in 2026, focusing on modifying provisions related to fuel tax distribution and specifically updating language about the state tax commission. The resolution seeks to replace existing constitutional language about fuel tax proceeds, maintaining the current framework for distributing fuel tax revenues but making a technical change by replacing references to the "tax commission" with language about the "assessment commission, or its successor entity" created under Article X, Section 14 of the state constitution. The amendment preserves the existing allocation method for fuel tax proceeds, which includes distributing 10% to the County Aid Road Trust Fund, 15% to incorporated cities and towns for road-related expenses, and the remaining proceeds to the state road fund. The resolution also maintains provisions preventing local governments from imposing additional fuel-related taxes without voter approval, and ensures that these fuel tax proceeds are not counted as state revenues or government expenses. The primary substantive change appears to be updating the terminology related to the state commission responsible for land valuation calculations.
