Our call — vote YES
The measure
Amendment 6 is a citizen-initiated constitutional amendment. It would prohibit the legislature from repealing or amending a citizen initiative unless at least 80% of both the House and Senate vote to refer the proposed change to the ballot and voters then approve it, and it would prohibit the legislature from making changes to the citizen initiative and referendum process itself, among other changes.
What YES does
A YES vote locks voter-approved initiatives behind an 80% legislative supermajority plus a second vote of the people, and puts the initiative process itself beyond ordinary legislative revision.
What NO does
A NO vote leaves the legislature able to amend or repeal initiated statutes by ordinary lawmaking, and to revise the initiative process as it can today.
The math
No fiscal effect was published in the sources consulted. The amendment governs who may change voter-made law; it appropriates nothing.
OUR CALL
Our call: YES.
When Missouri voters enact a law directly, a bare legislative majority should not quietly undo it the next session. This amendment returns final authority to voters — the legislature may propose, but only the people dispose, and only after an 80% consensus that a question is even worth re-asking. We note the honest cost: bad initiatives become harder to fix. The remedy for that is better initiatives, not legislative override.
