HB 928 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the "Waterways and Ports Trust Fund"

HB 928 modifies Missouri's Waterways and Ports Trust Fund to clarify its funding sources and usage rules. The fund, which receives state appropriations and external grants, can only finance specific port capital projects (like river terminal improvements) approved by the state transportation commission. Projects must be 80% funded by other sources, located on port-owned land, and completed within two years. The fund expires on December 31, 2033, with remaining money transferred to the state general revenue fund. (HB 928, Section 68.080)
