Introduced Text

Establishes a constitutional glossary for Missouri, requiring voter approval for term definitions.

Missouri HB1706 creates a constitutional glossary for the state's constitution, managed by the secretary of state. Starting in 2027, the secretary of state will accept public and legislative proposals for term definitions, including citations and proposed definitions. After review and potential revision, the glossary will be published. Terms added to the glossary require voter approval, and existing terms can be altered or removed through the same process.
