Missouri Legislature Likely to Pass Proposed Constitutional Amendment, Requiring Future Constitutional Initiatives to Receive 57%

On May 9 the Missouri House passed HJR 43 again. As amended, it would change the constitution to say that future constitutional initiatives need 57% to pass. The Senate is very likely to pass the bill soon. Assuming it does, then the voters will decide on November 2024 whether to change the constitution. Thanks to Ken Bush for this news.

Missouri Legislature Likely to Pass Proposed Constitutional Amendment, Requiring Future Constitutional Initiatives to Receive 57% — 8 Comments

  1. “…future constitutional initiatives need 57…” Henceforth, to be known as the Heinz Amendment.

  2. It is not a misprint. The State House originally wanted 60% but the State Senate said 57%, and then the House gave in.

  3. 4/7 is 57.1%.

    The resolution literally says 57%

    They probably changed it because of legislators have a math phobia. They probably don’t understand percentages either, but nobody wanted to admit that.

  4. Have they recently passed a bill that pi is exactly 3.14, or perhaps 3.0?
