HJR 4 Missouri House · 2025 2nd Extraordinary Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment that requires a two-thirds vote to pass any constitutional measure submitted to the people

HJR 4 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring a two-thirds majority vote (instead of a simple majority) for any constitutional amendment approved by Missouri voters. This change would directly affect how Missouri residents vote on constitutional amendments, making it harder to pass them. The bill specifically modifies the constitution to require this higher threshold for constitutional amendments, while leaving the current majority-vote requirement for regular laws (statutory measures) unchanged. It does not alter the process for voting on non-constitutional bills or the existing requirement for constitutional amendments to be submitted to voters at general elections.
