Mississippi HC14 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to adjust the signature requirements for initiative petitions to match the current.

Mississippi HC14 proposes an amendment to Section 273 of the Mississippi Constitution of 1890 to modify the initiative process for proposing constitutional amendments. The amendment aims to align the pro rata signature requirements from each congressional district for an initiative petition with the current number of congressional districts. This change ensures that the number of signatures required from each district is proportionate to the total number of signatures needed, based on the most recent federal decennial census.
