Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to state regulation of contracts

HJR 117 proposes adding a new constitutional section to Missouri's Constitution that would generally prevent the state from passing laws interfering with private parties setting prices or compensation in markets. It specifically exempts existing state-regulated industries and laws protecting communities' use of shared natural resources. The amendment also ensures existing contracts remain valid under current terms until their natural expiration or renewal, without affecting pending legal actions. This is a constitutional amendment requiring voter approval in 2026, not an immediate law. It directly affects how future state legislation could regulate pricing in commerce.
