HJR 100 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment that increases the debt limit for school districts

HJR 100 proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Missouri school districts to borrow up to 20% of their taxable property value (currently limited to 5% for most local entities), instead of the standard limit. This change would directly affect school districts seeking to fund capital projects like building repairs or new facilities, requiring voter approval through a specific vote threshold (4/7 at general elections or 2/3 at other elections). The amendment, if adopted by voters, would alter the state constitution’s debt rules for school districts only. It remains a proposed measure awaiting voter approval, not yet law.
