Modifies age requirements for service in the general assembly
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to lower the minimum age requirement for serving in the Missouri General Assembly from 24 to 18 for representatives and from 30 to 18 for senators. The measure would also adjust the residency and voter qualification periods for these positions to align with the new age limits. If approved by voters in the 2024 election, the change would allow individuals aged 18 to run for and hold state legislative office.
