HCS HJR 63 -- INITIATIVE PETITIONS (Parson)

COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN:  Special Committee on General Laws

Currently, petitions proposing amendments to the Missouri
Constitution must be signed by 8% of the legal voters in each of
two-thirds of the Congressional districts in the state and
petitions proposing laws must be signed by 5% of these voters.
Upon voter approval, this proposed constitutional amendment
removes the two-thirds requirement and instead requires petitions
to be signed by the required percentage of voters in each
Congressional district.
