The fiscal note summary that you submitted is as follows: State government revenue may decrease up to $456 million during the tax credit period with approximately $1 million annual increased operating costs. Local governmental entities estimate $23.9 million in annual electricity sales reductions. Other resulting economic activity will have an unknown impact on state and local governments. 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. ~:zf.:----- Attorney General OP-2016-0016 www.ago.mo.gov
