Proposes a constitutional amendment that modifies provisions for initiative petitions
HJR 10 proposes a constitutional amendment to revise Missouri's initiative petition process. It would require 8% of eligible voters in two-thirds of congressional districts to sign petitions for constitutional amendments (down from current thresholds) and 5% for laws, with petitions filed at least six months before elections. The amendment also bans foreign governments or political parties from funding, sponsoring, or supporting initiatives and mandates that constitutional amendments must pass with a majority of votes statewide and in a majority of congressional districts. Additionally, only Missouri residents and U.S. citizens would be eligible to vote on constitutional amendment initiatives.
