HJR 2 Missouri House · 2025 2nd Extraordinary Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment that modifies provisions for amending the constitution

HJR 2 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Missouri residents can initiate constitutional amendments. It would require initiative petitions to gather signatures from 7% of eligible voters in at least two-thirds of the state's congressional districts (down from 10% across all districts), and mandate that any initiative amendment approved by voters must receive support from a majority of all registered voters - not just those who cast ballots. The bill also specifies that each proposed amendment must cover a single subject and be voted on separately, with publication requirements in county newspapers before the election. This directly affects citizens seeking to propose constitutional changes via initiative petitions and the process for voter approval.
