Bill > HJR192

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to be voted on by Missouri citizens at the next general election in November 2026, or a special election. The amendment would change how state revenue from highway users, such as motor vehicle and fuel taxes, is managed and spent. Currently, these funds are automatically available to the Highways and Transportation Commission for road construction and maintenance. The proposed change would require the General Assembly (the state legislature) to appropriate these funds through a legislative act before the Highways and Transportation Commission can spend them, thereby introducing legislative oversight into transportation funding decisions. The resolution also details how a portion of the sales tax on motor vehicles and trailers is distributed to counties, cities, and transportation funds, and how proceeds from bonds issued for highway construction are handled.
