MISSOURI CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT SIX CONCERNS THE MISSOURI LEGISLATURE’S ABILITY TO AFFECT INITIATIVE PROCESS
Continuing our preview coverage ahead of the November General Election in Missouri, we are going to look at Missouri Constitutional Amendment 6.
If passed, Amendment 6 would prohibit the Missouri Legislature from directly amending or changing any law enacted through the citizen initiative process and require that any modifications to laws enacted through the initiative process be referred to the people by a vote of at least 80 percent of each chamber of the General Assembly.
The Amendment also restricts the legislature from passing laws that limit the ability to pursue initiatives and referenda; maintain the current signature requirements of five percent of the individual legal voters in each of two-thirds of Missouri’s congressional districts for proposing a law as well as maintain the current signature requirement of eight percent of individual legal voters in each of two-thirds of Missouri’s congressional districts for proposing a constitutional amendment.
The amendment also maintains the current requirement that a simple statewide majority of votes cast on a measure by individual legal voters is sufficient to enact any law or constitutional amendment.
