Proposes a constitutional amendment prohibiting a statutory initiative measure approved by the voters to be amended or repealed by the General Assembly except under certain conditions

HJR 118 proposes a constitutional amendment to protect voter-approved initiatives in Missouri from being changed or repealed by the state legislature, except under two specific conditions. It would prohibit the General Assembly from amending or repealing any initiative measure approved by voters (like statewide ballot measures) unless either more than five years have passed since the measure's approval or the legislature passes a two-thirds vote in both chambers. This amendment would replace Section 49 of Article III in Missouri’s Constitution, directly affecting how citizens’ direct democracy efforts can be altered by elected officials. The proposed change would be submitted to Missouri voters in the 2026 general election.
