Current Bill Summary

- Prepared by Senate Research -

HCR 17 - This resolution concurs with the Governor that all reasonable and necessary action should be taken to prevent the planned man-made "spring rise" of the Missouri River.

The resolution encourages the United States Army Corps of Engineers not to implement an artificial "spring rise," which would increase the risk of flooding for Missourians, thereby being in violation of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' recent ruling, which held that flood control and navigation are the dominant uses of the Missouri River.
