Missouri's commissioner of administration can buy through contracts established by other governments or qualifying nonprofits. A nonprofit's members and governing body must consist entirely of government entities. The underlying contracts must follow applicable laws and rules. Purchases can include… - Local governments gain construction selection flexibility: benefit, low. For progressive design-build, local governments need not use criteria unrelated to construction, safety, durability, permits, or operation. Examples include climate goals, green-building ratings, and diversity or inclusion goals. Lawful project-specific requirements remain allowed.

They shortlist 2 to 3 firms, review qualifications first, then proposals with… - Water projects gain contracting and funding access: mixed, low. Local governments can use design-build or progressive design-build for water and wastewater storage, conveyance, or treatment projects. Progressive projects require a Missouri-licensed engineer to help prepare documents and specifications and review proposals. The Department of Economic Development… ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: John Voss (Republican), House ## Roll call votes | Date | Chamber | Motion | Result | Yes | No | Other | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2026-05-15 | Senate | Third Read and Passed with Amendments -
