CHRIS KOSTER ATTORNEY GENERAL ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MISSOURI JEFFERSON CITY 65102 January 10, 2013 P.O.Box899 (573) 751-3321 OPINION LETTER NO. 5-2013 The Honorable Thomas A. Schweich Missouri State Auditor State Capitol, Room 121 Jefferson City, MO 65101 Dear Auditor Schweich: This office received your letter of December 31, 2012, submitting a fiscal note and fiscal note summary prepared under§ 116.175, RSMo, for an initiative petition submitted by Maureen Dickmann, version 2 (14-018). The fiscal note summary that you submitted is as follows: State and local governmental entities could have annual lost revenue estimated of at least $17 million if the proposal results in significant business closures. Changes in economic activity could offset these potential losses by an unknown amount. Under § 116.175.4, RSMo, we approve the legal content and form of the fiscal note summary. Because our review of the fiscal note summary is mandated by statute, no action that we take with respect to such review should be construed as an endorsement of the initiative petition or as the expression of any view regarding the objectives of its proponents. &_:'Ztr---- CHRIS KOSTER Attorney General www.ago.mo.gov OP-2012-0168
