HJR 12 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment that modifies term limits for members of the general assembly and the number of members of the house of representatives

This Missouri constitutional amendment (HJR 12) proposes to reduce the size of the House of Representatives from 163 to 103 members starting after the 2030 census. It replaces existing constitutional provisions with new rules for redistricting, requiring districts to be as equally populated as possible (within 1% deviation), comply with the Voting Rights Act, preserve communities by following county lines where feasible, and prioritize population equality over partisan fairness. The amendment does not change term limits for legislators, as the title incorrectly suggests, but focuses on structural changes to the legislature's composition and redistricting process. If approved by voters, it would take effect for the 2032 legislative session.
