OPINION LETTER NO. 1-2023
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 January 3, 2023 for our review under §
116.332, RSMo of the sufficiency as to form of an initiative petition to amend Article III, of the
Missouri Constitution submitted by Winston Apple, 2024-024.
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,
ANDREW BAILEY
Attorney General
