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 Supreme Court Building 207 W.
