H.J.Res.118

Missouri HJR118 proposes a constitutional amendment to prevent the General Assembly from amending or repealing statutory measures approved by voters.

Missouri HJR118 proposes a constitutional amendment to ensure that statutory measures approved by voters through the initiative process cannot be amended or repealed by the General Assembly unless more than five years have elapsed since the passage of the measure. This amendment aims to protect the initiative process, allowing the people to enact or reject laws independently of the General Assembly, while also reserving the power to approve or reject any act of the General Assembly by referendum. The amendment would be submitted to voters in the next general election.
