Modifies provisions relating to Highway Patrol purchases
Governor's action Signed by Governor (5/6/2026) · 05/06/2026 - Approved by Governor (G)
Modifies provisions relating to highway patrol purchases of motor vehicles, watercraft, watercraft motors, and trailers
Published by the Missouri House as the official summary of the version that passed (source PDF). Reproduced here in full, unedited.
Currently, there is a fund called the "Highway Patrol's Motor Vehicle, Aircraft, and Watercraft Revolving Fund" that is used for the purchase and maintenance of highway patrol motor vehicles, watercraft, watercraft motors, and trailers, aircraft or aircraft parts, and operational costs. Prior to obligating funds for the purchase of an individual unit that costs in excess of $100,000, the Highway Patrol must receive a specific appropriation from the General Assembly for that particular purchase.
This bill increases the individual unit purchase price before an appropriation is needed to $500,000.
