HJR 92 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment that requires the full text of initiative petitions to appear on the ballot and limits initiative petitions to 75 words, including existing language

Missouri's HJR 92 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring the full text of initiative petitions to appear on ballots and limiting all initiative petitions - including existing or repealed language - to 75 words. This directly affects citizens or groups seeking to place constitutional amendments on the ballot through petitions. The key provision caps petition length at 75 words while mandating that the complete text of the proposed amendment be printed on the ballot for voter review. The amendment would take effect after the November 2026 election or a special election called by the governor.
