SJR 74 Missouri Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to constitutional amendments

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Missouri voters approve changes to the state constitution. It requires that any proposed amendment, whether from the legislature or citizen initiative, pass with a majority of votes statewide and a majority in more than half of the congressional districts to take effect. The bill also sets rules for how these amendments are presented on ballots and published in newspapers before voting. Additionally, it adjusts the timeline for when approved amendments become official, setting the effective date to thirty-one days after the election.
