Bill Summary · HB 2004

Legislative bill overview

HB 2004 is a Missouri appropriations bill sponsored by Dirk Deaton that allocates state funding across government agencies and programs for the fiscal year. The bill has advanced through the House committee process with strong bipartisan support, receiving a "Do Pass" recommendation with limited debate time allocated.

Why is this important

Appropriations bills directly determine how state tax revenue is distributed across education, healthcare, infrastructure, law enforcement, and other essential services. The outcomes shape what programs receive funding increases, remain flat, or face cuts—affecting millions of Missourians' access to public services.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of specificity in available information: The bill summary provided contains no details on which agencies receive funding increases or decreases, making it impossible to identify contentious line items without the full bill text
  • Limited debate time: The five-and-a-half-hour perfection debate constraint may restrict discussion of significant funding allocations, which some lawmakers could view as insufficient
  • Budget priorities unknown: Without seeing the actual appropriations, it's unclear whether controversial areas like education funding, social services, or tax cuts are being prioritized over others
