Ballot measures

[edit]

There was four amendments as well as a question to rewrite the state constitution on the ballot in November.[7][8] Amendment 1 changes how the State Treasurer of Missouri is allowed to invest taxpayer money.[9] Amendment 3 legalizes cannabis and allows expungement of convictions while also allowing judges to deny the expungement for "good cause".[10] Amendment 4 makes an exception to the Hancock Amendment to allow the increase of required spending for the Kansas City Police put in place by SB 678.[7][11] Amendment 5 makes the Missouri National Guard its own department and renames it to Missouri Department of the National Guard.[7]
