🚨 Selling Us a Lemon: IP Reform (HJR 3) Rolls Out of Committee
The House just advanced HJR 3 — but it’s a lemon. Public hearings are delayed, power shifts to politicians, and the people’s voice is gutted.
Special Session or Political Theater? Why the Only Fair IP Reform May Be Ignored
Missouri’s Special Session on IP Reform looks more like political theater than real reform. Three of the four resolutions create dangerous double standards that favor politicians while tying the hands of voters. Only HJR 4 treats the people and the legislature equally — but will it even get a fair hearing?
HB 575 & 551
Legislative Alert! Support SB 22 to Reduce Biased Ballot Language for Constitutional Amendments.
Support SB 22 because it ensures voters receive accurate, unbiased summaries of ballot measures.

Missourians deserve clarity, not confusion, when deciding complex issues.
SJR 10
Senate Joint Resolution No. 10 (SJR 10), introduced in the Missouri Senate, proposes
significant changes to the process of amending the state’s constitution. This resolution aims

only certain voters can influence such changes. By introducing stricter approval
requirements and defining voter eligibility, SJR 10 seeks to preserve the integrity and
stability of Missouri’s foundational legal document.

The Missouri Senate’s push for IP Reform this session—through SJR 11, SJR 10, SJR 30, and SJR 47—offers a chance to redefine how citizens engage with their government. SJR 11’s focus on signature collection, the trio of SJR 10, SJR 30, and SJR 47’s varied approaches to approval thresholds, and Senator Mike Moon’s standout SJR 10 all signal a serious intent to address longstanding concerns. Yet, the legislature’s eight-year track record of broken promises, punctuated by the failure of SJR 74 in 2024, looms large.

Analysis of Amendment 3 Election Results
The passing of Amendment 3 has raised concerns about Missouri’s electoral integrity. With only 8% of counties supporting it, approval depended on Greater Kansas City and St. Louis, allowing out-of-state billionaires to influence our constitution.
