HJR 133 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment to grant the legislature the authority to veto department of transportation spending plans

HJR 133 proposes a constitutional amendment that would grant Missouri's legislature the power to veto the Missouri Department of Transportation's (MoDOT) spending plans, including its statewide transportation improvement program (STIP). If passed by voters, the amendment would require a legislative majority vote to reject MoDOT's annual spending plans, shifting oversight authority from the governor's administration to the legislature. This change would directly affect MoDOT's budget execution and the legislative process for transportation funding decisions. The bill must pass both chambers and gain voter approval in a future election to become part of Missouri's Constitution.
