H.J.Res.157

Missouri HJR157 proposes a constitutional amendment to restrict the General Assembly's ability to amend or repeal statutory initiative measures.

Missouri HJR157 proposes a constitutional amendment to prohibit the General Assembly from amending or repealing statutory initiative measures approved by voters, except under specific conditions. These conditions include waiting more than six years after the measure's passage or securing approval from three-fourths of the members of both legislative chambers. This amendment aims to safeguard the initiative process, ensuring that laws passed by the people through direct vote remain intact unless significant legislative consensus is achieved.
