OPINION LETTER NO. 1-2011
The Honorable Robin Carnahan
Missouri Secretary of State
James C. Kirkpatrick State Information Center
600 West Main Street
Jefferson City, MO 65101
Dear Secretary Carnahan:
This opinion letter responds to your request dated December 27, 2010, for our review
under § 116.332, RSMo, of the sufficiency as to form of an initiative petition to amend
Chapter 116 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri submitted by Ron Calzone (version C).
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 ig 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,
CHRIS KOSTER
Attorney General
