Proposes a constitutional amendment that modifies provisions for amending the constitution

HJR 1 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how citizens can place constitutional amendments on Missouri's ballot through initiative petitions. It would require initiative petitions for constitutional amendments to be signed by 7% of legal voters in each of two-thirds of Missouri's congressional districts (down from 8%), limit petitions to one subject, and mandate that such amendments require approval by a majority of all registered voters - not just those who vote - to take effect. The bill also specifies that initiative petitions must contain an enacting clause and clear titles, and it would allow constitutional amendments approved by a majority of registered voters to take effect 30 days after the election. This directly affects Missouri citizens seeking to propose constitutional changes via initiative, as it alters signature requirements and approval thresholds.
