The resolution proposes an amendment to the Missouri Constitution that seeks to overhaul the governance of the Department of Transportation by repealing several sections of Article IV and introducing seven new sections. Key changes include the appointment of the Department's director and chief engineer by the governor, with Senate approval, and the establishment of specific qualifications for these positions. The highways and transportation commission will serve in an advisory role to the governor, aiming to enhance the management of transportation issues in the state.

Furthermore, the resolution addresses the collection and distribution of fuel taxes specifically for highway motor vehicles, ensuring that the net proceeds are allocated to dedicated funds such as the County Aid Road Trust Fund and a state road fund for road and bridge construction, maintenance, and repair. It mandates that any new fuel taxes require a two-thirds majority approval in local political subdivisions. The resolution also clarifies that funds from fuel taxes and related sales taxes will not count as state revenue and will be managed by the Department of Transportation for specific highway-related projects, ensuring a structured approach to funding Missouri's transportation infrastructure.
