Appropriates money for the expenses, grants, refunds, and distributions of the several departments and offices of state government
HB 2018 is Missouri's 2026-2027 state budget bill allocating funds for facility maintenance and repairs across state agencies. It directly affects public schools (including the Missouri School for the Blind), state parks, natural resource facilities, veterans' homes, and other state buildings by providing $19.2 million for school maintenance, $142.4 million for facilities management, and $96.3 million for state parks. The bill transfers existing funds from reserves like the Facilities Maintenance Reserve Fund and General Revenue to cover repairs, emergency work, and improvements without creating new programs or taxes. All funding adheres to constitutional spending limits and is designated for specific maintenance purposes only.

MINOR
The bill was amended to reflect its progression from the House to the Senate Committee, updating the document title and page numbers. Substantively, the total funding amount increased by approximately $1.2 million, primarily due to a higher allocation for the Capitol Bond Proceeds Fund. Additionally, a new section was added to provide specific funding for the Department of Conservation for stream and lake development projects.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded to include a new funding category for the Department of Conservation, addressing stream access and lake site development.
FISCAL
A new section (18.045) was added to allocate funds to the Department of Conservation for stream access development, lake site development, and repairs to public facilities.
The total funding amount increased from $129,087,523 to $130,247,420, driven by an increase in the allocation from the Board of Public Buildings Series A 2018 Capitol Bond Proceeds Fund.
TECHNICAL
The document header was updated to indicate this is the 'Senate Committee Substitute' version, and page footers were updated to reflect the new version number.
