This is known as Amendment 6. NOTE: the description (autopopulated) incorrectly says that 80% of voters have to approve the changes – when it actually would require 80% approval in both legislative chambers to send any change back to the vote of the people. I've reached out to Sway to get them to make this change, but wanted to note this so there isn't any confusion.

Expand the initiative and referendum petition process - making it a citizen's fundamental right
Allow courts to revise ballot language to be clear, true and unbiased through lawsuits.
Preserve the existing majority vote and signature requirements for initiative & referendum petitions.
Prevents politicians to put an issue back on the ballot that citizens have already voted into law.
Defend majority rule by requiring approval from 80% of both chambers to send any changes back for a vote of the people.
Prevents politicians from restricting the initiative petition process that Missourians have had since 1908.
Keeps the power with Missouri voters. Regular folks stay in the driver's seat, and big donors don't get the keys.
Be. A. Menace.
