Missouri House advances redistricting overhaul proposal

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Missouri state representatives advanced a proposal on Tuesday to ask voters if they want to undo newly made changes to the state's redistricting process, among other changes.

The resolution sponsored by Rep. Dean Plocher, R-St. Louis, was approved on a vote of 100-49. Representatives need to vote to pass the proposal before it moves to the Senate.

If passed by both the legislature and Missouri voters, the resolution would eliminate the current $5 limit for lobbyist gifts to lawmakers and would repeal the redistricting process established by Constitutional Amendment 1, also known as Clean Missouri.

Amendment 1 created the $5 gift limit and a system for redistricting that included the appointment of a state demographer. Missouri voters approved the Clean Missouri amendment in November by 62%.
