INTRODUCTION The Missouri General Assembly has sent the FY2023 budget, which totals roughly $49 billion, to the Governor’s desk. This budget is historic both for being the largest in Missouri history and for what is funded through it. After several years of economic uncertainty, Missouri is fortunate to be in a healthy fiscal position. When the House began considering the FY23 budget, we had a General Revenue surplus of just over $1 billion. At the time of writing this, the state looks to end FY2022 with a potentially $2 billion surplus, and our state revenues are up more than 10 percent year-to-date. We do not expect this type of growth to continue long-term, of course, but the surplus it has brought us has finally allowed state appropriators to make several overdue investments for Missouri. This year is the first year that our caucus was aligned with much of Governor Parson’s vision for the budget. The FY2023 budget is the first budget in decades to fully fund school transportation and critical early childhood services like Parents as Teachers and First Steps. It increases funding for all higher education institutions and fully funds the Lincoln University land grant match. It makes substantial payments towards our state debt and pensions and maintains state workforce salary increases. It significantly increases funding for Home and Community Based Services and Developmental Disabilities programs. And finally, it fully funds Medicaid expansion. House Democrats worked across the aisle and across chambers to secure significant increases in funding for programs for people across this budget. These range from funding to detect and remediate lead in water in schools across the state to significant increases in economic and workforce support programs. We have highlighted these increases throughout this resource. The FY23 budget is the largest in history due in large part to the infusion of funds into our state from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA). The

funding made available to us by ARPA has presented Missouri with an extraordinary opportunity to make investments that will positively impact our state for decades to come. Throughout the operating budget, we appropriate billions of ARPA dollars for programs for child care, education, small businesses, municipalities, rural broadband, public health, the elderly, and the low-income. We also appropriated more than $2.7 billion in ARPA funds in the historic House Bill 3020 ARPA Capital Improvements bill. Unfortunately, the House did not have a meaningful opportunity to review the significant volume of new projects added to this bill by the Senate prior to voting on it. In the days since its passage, we have worked diligently to review and understand what projects received funding. We believe the information in this resource is the most straightforward and succinct public summary of what is funded in HB 3020. The budget is now on Governor Parson’s desk for his review, and he will decide which items to retain or veto. We are hopeful he will keep the important priorities we fought for. Working on the state budget is a tremendous privilege and responsibility our caucus does not treat lightly. These are your tax dollars. House Democrats will continue to work on your behalf for fiscal accountability and transparency, prudent investments, and to make sure the budget prioritizes the people over politicians. We encourage you to reach out to your state elected officials with any questions about the state budget. Sincerely,

Rep. Peter Merideth, D-St. Louis City District 80 Ranking Minority Member - House Budget Committee


HB 3001: PUBLIC DEBT About House Bill 3001 HB 3001 provides funding to repay debt outstanding on the state’s general obligation bonds. The general obligation bonds are secured by a pledge of the full faith, credit, and resources of the state. General obligation bonds can only be issued through voter-approved amendments to the state constitution. The principal and interest amounts are transferred one year in advance from the General Revenue Fund, and in the case of Water Pollution—the Water and Wastewater Loan Revolving Fund, to the debt service funds from which principal and interest payments are made. This is the last year that the General Assembly will appropriate this bill, as we will pay off all public debt associated with HB 1.
