HJR 94 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies requirements to pass a constitutional amendment

This bill proposes changes to how Missouri constitutional amendments are ratified, requiring approval from a majority of voters both statewide and in more than half of the congressional districts. It also mandates that only legal residents and citizens of the United States may vote on constitutional changes, regardless of whether they are registered to vote in a specific party or hold other statuses. Additionally, the measure would require specific publication of proposed amendments in newspapers across the state before an election. If passed, these rules would alter the current process for adopting constitutional changes in Missouri.
