Limits the powers of the state government to those specifically enumerated in the constitution
HJR 190 is a proposed constitutional amendment, not a regular bill, that would add Section 37 to Missouri's Constitution. It states that state government powers are limited solely to those explicitly listed in the Constitution, prohibiting any branch, officer, or agency from exercising powers not granted or implied by the document. Any government action exceeding these enumerated powers would be invalid. This amendment requires voter approval in a future election to become part of the state Constitution.
