MO HJR36

Submits a constitutional amendment to Missouri voters at the general election in November 2012 to reduce the House of Representatives from 163 members to 99 members beginning with the 98th General Assembly.

Maintains the current 163-member House until the 98th General Assembly convenes, after which the body will consist of 99 members elected from reapportioned districts.

Requires the reapportionment commission to divide the state's population by 99 (rather than 163) to establish districts with populations as equal as possible.

Updates the reapportionment process to account for amendments altering the number of House members, allowing the commission to reconvene within 60 days of such passage.

Changes terminology in the apportionment process from "chairman" to "chair" and "vice chairman" to "vice chair" for gender-neutral language.
