Appropriates money for the expenses, grants, refunds, and distributions of the Department of Economic Development, the Department of Commerce and Insurance, and the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations

HB 7 allocates $9.04 million for Missouri's Department of Economic Development to fund regional engagement, minority inclusion programs, and business recruitment for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It also includes a $10 million one-time appropriation for highway maintenance on Route MM near I-44. The bill directs specific funding to existing state departments and programs, with all money to be spent only as permitted under Missouri's constitution. This is a routine funding allocation, not a new policy.
