OPINION LETTER NO. 4-2021
The Honorable Nicole Galloway
Missouri State Auditor
State Capitol, Room 121
Jefferson City, MO 65101
Dear Auditor Galloway:
This office received your letter of January 19, 2021, submitting a fiscal note
and fiscal note summary prepared under § 116.175, RSMo, for an initiative petition
submitted by Chris Vas, 22-004. The fiscal note summary that you submitted is as
follows:
State and local government entities estimate no costs or savings from this
proposal.
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. SCHMITT
Attorney General
