Jefferson City, Mo. (KFMO) - Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe has signed a $3.1 billion supplemental budget bill that will allow current state government operations to continue through Fiscal Year 2026.
The governor signed House Bill 2014 after it was passed by the Missouri General Assembly last week.
In a statement, Kehoe said the legislation helps ensure essential services continue while also addressing major public safety and disaster response needs.
“This supplemental budget ensures that critical services continue uninterrupted for Missourians, while also providing important spending authority for public safety and disaster response,” Kehoe said. “I appreciate the members of the General Assembly in getting this bill to my desk.”
The supplemental spending plan totals more than $3.1 billion and includes $516.8 million in general revenue, $1.9 billion in federal funds, and $670.3 million in other funds.
The bill provides funding for several key priorities across the state.
Among the allocations included in the budget:
• $180,000 for child physical abuse forensic examination claims
• $3.7 million to provide specialized care for children and youth with intensive needs
• $10.4 million for employment services to assist individuals with physical or mental disabilities
• $73.8 million connected to World Cup federal grants, including $14.2 million for counter-unmanned aircraft system programs
• $86 million for tornado disaster relief in the St. Louis area
• $132 million for implementation of HR 1
• $830 million in disaster spending authority for the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency
State leaders say the supplemental budget provides the funding authority needed to address unexpected costs and emergency situations during the fiscal year.
Fiscal Year 2026 for Missouri state government begins July 1.
