Proposes a constitutional amendment that modifies provisions relating to constitutional amendments
HJR 18 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Missouri voters approve state constitutional changes. It would require constitutional amendments to pass with a majority vote statewide *and* in a majority of Missouri’s congressional districts. The amendment also prohibits foreign governments or political parties from funding or influencing amendment campaigns, bans non-U.S. citizens from proposing amendments, and mandates a 15-day public review period for initiative petitions before they appear on ballots. These changes aim to alter the process for amending Missouri’s constitution.
