Proposes a constitutional amendment that modifies requirements for votes required to pass constitutional amendments

HJR 78 proposes a constitutional amendment for Missouri that would require 60% of votes cast (instead of a simple majority) for any constitutional amendment to pass. It also establishes new rules for initiative petitions, requiring signatures from 8% of voters in two-thirds of congressional districts to qualify a constitutional amendment petition, and prohibits foreign governments or entities from funding or sponsoring such petitions. The bill further specifies that initiatives for constitutional amendments must contain only one revised article or new article with a single subject, and includes provisions about how initiative laws interact with future legislation. This change would directly affect voters and petitioners seeking to amend Missouri's constitution through the initiative process.
