Proposes a constitutional amendment that modifies requirements to pass a constitutional amendment

HJR 16 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Missouri voters approve changes to the state constitution. It would require voters to be both Missouri residents and U.S. citizens when voting on constitutional amendments, and mandate that any amendment must receive majority support statewide *and* in more than half of Missouri’s congressional districts to pass. This bill specifically targets the process for adopting constitutional amendments, not other types of ballot measures. The proposed changes aim to alter the voting requirements and approval thresholds for constitutional amendments.
