MO HJR99

Submits to Missouri voters a constitutional amendment repealing and replacing section 30(b) of article IV of the Missouri Constitution, to be decided at the November 2010 general election or a special election called by the governor.

Makes collection costs for the Department of Revenue (up to 3% of taxes), refunds and retirement programs, state highway patrol administrative costs, and all non-highway related Department of Transportation administrative expenses subject to appropriation rather than automatic fund deposits.

Establishes that highway user revenue from license fees, motor vehicle taxes, and fuel taxes (minus eligible deductions) shall be deposited in the state road fund without legislative action and used only for state highway construction, maintenance, and related purposes.

Maintains existing distributions of motor vehicle sales tax proceeds: 50% for highway and transportation use (allocated to counties, cities, state transportation fund, and state road fund), with the other 50% available for general state purposes.

Preserves the state road bond fund mechanism allowing the highways and transportation commission to issue bonds for highway construction, with specific percentages of motor vehicle sales tax proceeds deposited into the bond fund from 2005-2008.
