Missouri Amendment 6 would place additional constitutional protection around the initiative and referendum process. Among other provisions, it would characterize those powers as a fundamental right and generally require approval from at least 80% of each chamber of the General Assembly before lawmakers could change or repeal laws enacted through initiative, or pass laws similar to those voters rejected through referendum. Existing majority-vote and petition-signature requirements would remain. The central institutional tradeoff is between protecting voter decisions from legislative reversal and retaining lawmakers' ability to correct, update or respond to consequences of voter-enacted statutes. Direct democracy loses meaning if lawmakers can casually undo what voters just decided. But ordinary statutes also need maintenance as facts change and unintended effects appear. The threshold determines how durable a voter decision should be compared with a law passed through the Legislature.
