Proposes a constitutional amendment modifying requirements for votes required to pass constitutional amendments

HJR 52 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Missouri voters approve constitutional amendments. It would require 60% of votes cast (instead of a simple majority) for constitutional amendments to pass, and raise signature requirements for initiative petitions: 8% of legal voters in two-thirds of congressional districts (up from 5% for regular laws). The bill also mandates a 15-day public review period for petitions after filing and restricts foreign entities from sponsoring or funding such initiatives. These changes directly affect citizens and groups seeking to propose constitutional changes through the initiative process.
