House repeals sunset on design-build and construction manager at-risk methods for political subdivisions
Summary
The House approved a committee substitute that removes scheduled expiration dates for certain construction procurement methods used by political subdivisions, allowing continued use beyond September 1, 2026.
The Missouri House on March 25, 2025, passed a committee substitute that removes the statutory expiration dates for two alternative procurement methods — construction manager at risk and design-build — allowing political subdivisions to continue using those contracting approaches after the previously scheduled September 1, 2026 sunsets. The motion to third read and pass the substitute for House Bills 513, 413 and 536 passed by voice and recorded vote (tally reported as 37-1 on the floor).
Supporters said the statutory time limits created unnecessary delays and uncertainty for local projects, and removing the sunsets will allow local governments and authorities to continue using these procurement methods without interruption. One member with experience in economic development urged support, saying the methods prevent project delays.
No fiscal impacts or new oversight provisions were discussed in the floor remarks. The House approved the change and sent the measure to the Senate.
