Amendments that could possibly appear on the August/November Ballot
The article says 9 possible amendments but only outlines 8.
Amendment 1 - extends the current tax that's split between state parks and soli and water conservation programs.
Amendment 2 - Assessors would be elected in every county, as Jackson county does now.
Amendment 3 - repeals the voter approved right to choose and bans gender-affirming treatments for people under 18 and makes it a constitutional law.
Amendment 4 - constitutional amendments proposed by initiative petition would have a new, higher majority threshold to win passage. That would mean rejection in one district, by as few as 5% of all voters, would be enough to defeat citizen-sponsored amendments.
Amendment 5 - gives lawmakers power to expand sales taxes to any transaction to raise money to replace the personal income tax.
Amendment 6 - would require ballot summaries to be clear and accurate, maintain the current standards for qualifying and passing an initiative proposal and require lawmakers who want to alter the provisions of a voter-proposed law to obtain votes of 80% of the General Assembly to put changes on a future ballot.
Amendment 7 - would create a state permanent fund that would be labeled the Show-Me Prosperity Fund to receive state appropriations and gifts to the state.
Amendment 8 - makes the office of county sheriff a constitutional office. It clarifies that sheriffs run local jails and handle court security. It also adds job protection for sheriffs by requiring a lawsuit to remove a sheriff under a quo warranto case to be filed by the attorney general and no other office.
