Proposes a constitutional amendment to grant the legislature the authority to veto department of transportation spending plans
HJR 46 proposes a constitutional amendment that would give Missouri's legislature the power to block department of transportation spending plans using a simple majority vote. If approved by voters in 2026, this amendment would allow the legislature to veto any DOT spending plan, including the statewide transportation improvement program (STIP). The change would shift authority from the DOT to the legislature over how transportation funds are allocated. This amendment requires voter approval at the next general election.
