Proposes a constitutional amendment prohibiting an initiative measure approved by the voters to be amended or repealed by the General Assembly except by referendum
HJR 99 proposes a constitutional amendment in Missouri that would prevent the General Assembly from amending or repealing any initiative measure approved by voters - such as citizen-backed laws or policy changes - except through a separate voter referendum. If passed, this would require voters to approve any legislative change to measures they directly approved via initiative. The bill does not alter how initiatives are created but restricts the legislature’s ability to modify or remove voter-approved measures without seeking public consent again. This is a procedural constitutional amendment, not a regular law, and remains pending in committee with no votes taken yet.
