HJR 80 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment prohibiting an initiative measure approved by the voters to be amended or repealed by the General Assembly except by referendum

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would prevent the General Assembly from changing or repealing laws created by citizen initiatives without first holding a public vote. Under this rule, any law passed directly by voters could only be altered or canceled through a referendum, ensuring the public has a say in modifying such measures. The change aims to balance the power between the legislature and the electorate by restricting how easily citizen-driven laws can be overturned by lawmakers.
