Time Remains for Public Comment on Administrative Rules Review
JEFFERSON CITY – The Missouri Department of Transportation is just over half way through a 60-day comment period to seek public opinion of the more than 200 administrative rules it administers. It’s part of a department review prompted by an executive order issued by Gov. Eric Greitens in January. The purpose of the review is to identify regulations that are “ineffective, unnecessary or unduly burdensome.”
Missourians can review the specific rules and offer comment by visiting www.modot.org/AdminRules The public comment period will close on June 5. Comments can also be faxed to 573-526-4859, or mailed to MoDOT at P.O. Box 270, Jefferson City, Mo. 65102-0270.
Persons without access to a computer may visit MoDOT’s district offices in St. Joseph, Hannibal, Kansas City, Jefferson City, St. Louis, Springfield and Sikeston, or the general headquarters in Jefferson City. Most public libraries also offer computer access. All MoDOT facilities are accessible to persons with disabilities. MoDOT has been utilizing electronic public meetings since 2008 to maximize public ease and participation in the decision-making process.
