Missouri SJR 106

SJR 106 - Current constitutional provisions place the Department of Transportation and the management of the state highway system under the control of the State Highways and Transportation Commission. This constitutional amendment, if approved by the voters, places such control under the Department of Transportation, which shall be lead by a director appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. The amendment also provides that the Highways and Transportation Commission shall be an advisory body within the Department, provided that the General Assembly may at any time abolish the Commission. All duties and powers given to the Commission as of the effective date of the amendment shall be transferred to the Department. The constitution also currently provides that the net proceeds of the motor fuel tax shall stand appropriated to the counties, municipalities, and the Commission. This amendment provides that the net proceeds allocable to the Commission shall be appropriated by the General Assembly to the Department. This amendment is similar to SJR 2 (2025), HJR 32 (2025), HJR 45 (2025), and HJR 109 (2024). TAYLOR MIDDLETON
