Constitution; amend to revise initiative process to reflect four congressional districts.
This bill (HC 33) proposes amending Section 273 of the Mississippi Constitution to update signature requirements for citizen-initiated constitutional amendments. It specifically revises the rule that no single congressional district can contribute more than one-fourth of the required signatures, aligning this limit with Mississippi's current four congressional districts. This change would directly affect citizens and groups seeking to place constitutional amendment proposals on the ballot via petition. The bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and did not advance further.
