2024 Ballot Measures, Official Ballot Title Amendment Proposition A - What Does It All Mean?
October 28th 2024 by Dee Loflin
2024 Ballot Measures, Official Ballot Title Amendment Proposition A - What Does It All Mean?

Official Ballot Title Proposition A


Proposed by Initiative Petition Official Ballot Title:


Do you want to amend Missouri law to:


increase minimum wage January 1, 2025 to $13.75 per hour, increasing

$1.25 per hour each year until 2026, when the minimum wage would be $15.00 per hour;


adjust minimum wage based on changes in the Consumer Price Index each 

January beginning ni 2027;


require all employers to provide one hour of paid sick leave for every thirty hours worked;


allow the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations to provide oversight and 

enforce- ment; and


exempt governmental entities, political subdivisions, school districts and 

education institutions?


State governmental entities estimate one-time costs ranging from $0 to $53,000, and 

ongoing costs ranging from $0 to at least $256,000 per year by 2027. State and local gov- ernment tax revenue could change by an unknown annual amount depending on business decisions.


Fair Ballot Language:


A “yes” vote will amend Missouri statutes to increase the state minimum wage 

begin- ning January 1, 2025 to $13.75 per hour and increase the hourly rate $1.25, to $15.00 per hour beginning January 2026. Annually the minimum wage will be adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index. The law will require employers with fifteen or more employees to provide one hour of paid sick leave for every thirty hours worked. The amendment will exempt governmental entities, political subdivisions, school districts and education institutions fromt h e minimum wage increase.


A “no” vote will not amend Missouri law to make changes to the state minimum wage law.


If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes.

2024 Ballot Measures, Official Ballot Title Amendment 7 - What Does It All Mean?

Fair Ballot Language:

Official Ballot Title Amendment 7


Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:


Make the Constitution consistent with state law by only allowing citizens of the United States to vote;


Prohibit the ranking of candidates by limiting voters to a single vote per candidate or 

issue; and


Require the plurality winner of a political party primary to be the single candidate at a general election?


State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.


Fair Ballot Language:


A “yes” vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to specify that only United Statesciti- zens are entitled to vote, voters shall only have a single vote for each candidate or issue, restrict any type of ranking of candidates for a particular office and require the person receiving the greatest number of votes at the primary election as a party candidate for an office shall be the only candidate for that party at the general election, and require the person receiving the greatest number of votes for each office at the general election shall be declared the winner. This provision does not apply to any nonpartisan municipal 

elec- tion held in a city that had an ordinance in effect as of November 5, 2024, that 

requires a preliminary election at which more than one candidate advances to a 

subsequent election.


A “no” vote will not amend the Missouri Constitution to make any changes to how 

voters vote in primary and general elections.


If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes
