Missouri Constitution

Missouri Republicans have vowed to take action when the General Assembly reconvenes in January to revise the highway commission’s power over the state road fund.

Voters in Ohio shot down Issue 1, rejecting conservative lawmakers' attempt to change the constitutional amendment process ahead of a vote on reproductive rights this November. The Missouri GOP has been considering pushing a similar measure to block the possibility of voters enshrining abortion access in the state constitution.

Critics of the idea believe that Missourians won’t buy a plan that would make it more difficult to pass policies that the General Assembly doesn’t like.

Eleven versions of a proposed initiative petition seeking to roll back Missouri’s ban on abortion by adding protections for the procedure to the state constitution were filed Wednesday with the Secretary of State’s office.

Thanks to a Missouri law, voters must be asked every 20 years whether they would like to call a convention to amend the state constitution. But since the question started being asked in 1962, Missourians have never voted "yes."

If Roe v. Wade is overturned, a “trigger ban” in Missouri would bar abortions except in the cases of a medical emergency. Some GOP lawmakers want to pass an amendment specifying that there is no right to an abortion in the Missouri Constitution, either.

The House sent a measure to the Senate that would require a two-thirds vote of the people to pass a constitutional amendment.
