Modifies provisions relating to initiative petitions

This proposed constitutional amendment (SJR 65) would change Missouri's process for qualifying initiative petitions. It requires constitutional amendment petitions to gather signatures from 8% of voters in two-thirds of congressional districts (down from the current 10% statewide), and law petitions from 5% of voters. The bill also mandates that all initiative petitions contain only a single subject and require a concise 100-word summary statement approved by the secretary of state, which courts can block if inaccurate. These changes would directly affect voters gathering signatures and petitioners seeking to place measures on Missouri ballots.
