Review and approval of the legal content and form of the proposed fair ballot language prepared for Constitutional Convention Question.

POPULI ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MISSOURI ERIC SCHMITT June 23, 2022 OPINION LETTER NO. 21-2022 The Honorable John R. Ashcroft Missouri Secretary of State James C. Kirkpatrick State Information Center 600 West Main Street Jefferson City, MO 65101 Dear Secretary Ashcroft: This opinion letter responds to your request dated June 7, 2022, for our review under § 116.025, RSMo, of a proposed fair ballot language for Constitutional Convention Question. The proposed fair ballot language statement is as follows: A "yes" vote will require the governor to call an election of delegates to serve at a convention for the purpose of revising or amending the Missouri Constitution. Any revisions or amendments will then be put to a vote of the people for their consideration. A "no" vote will mean no constitutional convention will be held. If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes. Pursuant to § 116.025, RSMo, we approve the legal content and form of the proposed fair ballot language statement. Because our review of the fair ballot language statement is mandated by statute, no action we take with respect to such review should be construed as an endorsement of the initiative petition, nor as the expression of any view regarding the objectives of its proponents. Very truly yours, ERIC S. SCHMITT Attorney General Supreme Court Building 207 W. High Street P.O. Box 899 Jefferson City, MO 65102 Phone: (573) 751-3321 Fax: (573) 751-0774 OP-2022-023 www.ago.mo.gov
