ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MISSOURI ANDREW BAILEY Supreme Court Building 207 W. High Street P.O. Box 899 Jefferson City, MO 65102 Phone: (573) 751-3321 Fax: (573) 751-0774 www.ago.mo.gov February 7, 2025 OPINION LETTER NO. 32-2025 The Honorable Scott Fitzpatrick Missouri State Auditor Truman State Office Building, Room 880 Jefferson City, MO 65101 Dear Auditor Fitzpatrick: This office received your letter of January 28, 2025, submitting a fiscal note and fiscal note summary prepared under § 116.175, RSMo, for an initiative petition submitted by Katherine Floyd, 2026-019. The fiscal note summary that you submitted is as follows: The Attorney General’s Office estimates increased legal settlement costs of at least $1.5 million annually. Other state governmental entities estimate increased costs of at least $85,320 annually. One local governmental entity estimates an unknown negative fiscal impact. Other local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings. 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, ANDREW BAILEY Attorney General OP-2025-032
