Bill Summary · HB 2336

Legislative bill overview

HB 2336 authorizes the Missouri state government to convey (sell or transfer) certain state-owned properties to other entities. The bill has progressed through committee hearings and passed a House committee substitute, indicating it has support to move forward in the legislative process.

Why is this important

State property conveyances can affect public land use, generate revenue for the state budget, or facilitate public-private partnerships. The outcome determines whether specific parcels remain in public hands or transfer to private ownership or other governmental entities, with long-term implications for those communities and state finances.

Potential points of contention

  • Property identification specificity: The bill's language around "certain state property" may lack clarity about which specific parcels are included, potentially allowing broad discretion or creating uncertainty about affected locations
  • Public access and use: Community members may object if conveyances reduce public access to recreational, environmental, or historically significant lands
  • Fiscal transparency: Questions may arise about whether sale prices are fair market value and whether revenue allocation aligns with public priorities versus administrative cost recovery
