In Mississippi, for a legislatively referred constitutional amendment to be certified for the ballot, two-thirds of each house of the Mississippi State Legislature must vote to put it there. The absolute number of those voting in favor must be equal to at least a majority of the members elected to each house.
This amendment was introduced as House Concurrent Resolution 23. It was approved by a vote of 81-23 with 18 members not voting. The amendment was not passed in the Senate before the legislature adjourned its 2024 session.[1]
