Modifies provisions for amending the constitution

This bill proposes an amendment to the Missouri Constitution that would change how citizens can suggest changes to the state's governing document. It requires initiative petitions to be signed by seven percent of registered voters in each of two-thirds of the congressional districts, rather than using a single statewide number. The measure also clarifies that only U.S. citizens who are properly registered to vote in Missouri can sign these petitions. Additionally, the bill sets specific rules for how proposed amendments must be published in newspapers and states that initiative measures would take effect immediately if approved by a majority of all registered voters, not just those who cast ballots.
