The resolution proposes an amendment to Article III of the Missouri Constitution, which will be presented to voters during the general election in November 2026 or at a special election called by the governor. The amendment introduces a new section, Section 54, that mandates any bill creating or modifying a local government mandate to include a fiscal impact statement prior to committee consideration. This statement must detail the categories of local governments affected, estimate the anticipated costs (both one-time and ongoing), and identify the source and sufficiency of any proposed state funding.

Additionally, the resolution stipulates that no bill can be voted out of committee without the fiscal impact statement being publicly available. Local governments will not be required to implement or administer mandates unless state funding is provided, and if such funding is insufficient or unavailable, the implementation will be suspended. The amendment also requires that any state law necessitating local administration includes clear definitions, uniform procedures, reasonable compliance timelines, and identification of the responsible state agency for guidance and assistance.
