The bill proposes the addition of a new section, 226.1215, to chapter 226 of Missouri's Revised Statutes, which mandates the Department of Transportation to conduct a study on the feasibility of increasing the speed limit to seventy-five miles per hour on interstate highways within the state. The findings of this study are required to be reported by August 28, 2028, to key state officials, including the governor and legislative leaders. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that any concerns or objections identified in the report regarding the proposed speed limit increase must be accompanied by discussions on potential mitigation strategies. The term "interstate system" is defined within the bill as the portion of the national system of interstate and defense highways located in Missouri, as designated by the state highways and transportation commission with federal approval.
