The Honorable Nicole Galloway
Missouri State Auditor
State Capitol, Room 121
Jefferson City, MO 65101
Dear Auditor Galloway:
This office received your letter of June 17, 2020, submitting a fiscal note
and fiscal note summary prepared under § 116.175, RSMo, for Senate Substitute
No. 3 for Senate Joint Resolution No. 38. The fiscal note summary that you
submitted is as follows:
State governmental entities expect no cost or savings.
Individual local governmental entities expect significant
decreased revenues of a total 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. Furthermore, our review
under § 116.175.4 does not examine the fairness or sufficiency of the estimated
fiscal impact.
Very truly yours,
Eric S. Jchnist
