Proposes a constitutional amendment dissolving the authority of the highways and transportation commission and granting authority to the department of transportation
HJR 134 proposes a constitutional amendment to replace Missouri's current highways and transportation commission with the Department of Transportation (DOT) as the sole authority for managing all state transportation systems, including highways, aviation, rail, and ports. The bill revises how fuel tax revenue is distributed, directing 10% to counties for road maintenance (with specific formulas), 15% to cities/towns for streets and roads, and the remainder to the state road fund. It also prohibits local governments from imposing new transportation taxes without voter approval, requiring a two-thirds vote in cities/towns. This change directly affects state transportation governance, local funding allocations, and future local tax policies related to roads and infrastructure.
