The bill proposes an amendment to chapter 226 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section, 226.036, which outlines specific requirements for the statewide transportation improvement program (STIP). It mandates that all planned expenditures within the STIP must clearly specify the county where each project will take place and include detailed itemized expenditures and expenses for each project. Additionally, the bill requires the Missouri Department of Transportation to submit an itemized expenditure report to each county after the completion of any project included in the STIP. Furthermore, starting January 1, 2027, and annually thereafter, the department must report to the General Assembly on its expenditures for STIP projects, organized by county. This aims to enhance transparency and accountability in the management of transportation funds at the state level.
