Modifies provisions for amending the constitution

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to change how citizens in Missouri can initiate changes to state laws and the constitution through petitions. It would lower the number of signatures required to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot from eight percent to seven percent in two-thirds of congressional districts, while keeping the requirement for new laws at five percent. The amendment also clarifies that only U.S. citizens registered to vote in Missouri can sign these petitions and sets specific rules for how the text of the petitions must be formatted. Additionally, it establishes that constitutional amendments passed by initiative would take effect thirty days after the election if approved by a majority of all registered voters, rather than just a majority of those who voted.
