OFFICIAL ENGLISH AMENDMENT HEADED FOR BALLOT

Missouri voters will decide whether to amend the state constitution to require that only English can be used in official government proceedings. The proposal will appear on the statewide ballot in November 2008 unless the governor sets an earlier election date.

The proposed amendment, HJR 7, cleared the House of Representatives on May 18 by a vote of 127-29. The Senate approved it 25-7 earlier in the day after shutting down debate to force a vote.
