Proposes a constitutional amendment to change the distribution of certain revenues received from the management of state natural resources
HJR 180 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring Missouri to distribute a portion of profits from state-managed natural resources (like minerals or timber) to the counties where those resources are located. This would directly affect counties with natural resource management activities, as future state laws would determine the specific method and amount of the share. The amendment must be approved by voters in a November 2026 election or a special election called by the governor. If adopted, it would change how revenue from these resources is allocated, shifting funds to local counties rather than keeping them entirely with the state.
