OPINION LETTER NO. 1-2014
The Honorable Jason Kander
Missouri Secretary of State
James C. Kirkpatrick State Information Center
600 West Main Street
Jefferson City, MO 65101
Dear Secretary Kander:
This opinion letter responds to your request dated December 23, 2013, for
our review under § 116.332, RSMo, of the sufficiency as to form of an initiative
petition to amend Article X of the Missouri Constitution submitted by Marc
Ellinger (2014-096).
We approve the petition as to form, but § 116.332 gives the Secretary of
State final authority to approve or reject the petition. Therefore, our approval
of the form of the petition does not preclude you from rejecting the petition.
Because our review of the petition is simply for the purpose of determining
sufficiency as to form, the fact that we do not reject the petition is not to be
construed as a determination that the petition is sufficient as to substance.
Likewise, because our review is mandated by statute, no action that we take with
respect to such review should be construed as an endorsement of the petition or
of the objectives of its proponents, or the expression of any view respecting the
adequacy or inadequacy of the petition generally.
Very truly yours,
HRIS KOSTER
Attorney General
OP-2013-0178
