Establishes filing fees for certain initiative petitions

SB 1295 establishes a $1,000 filing fee for initiative petitions in Missouri when a petitioner files multiple times on the same subject since the last general election. This fee applies only to repeat filings on the same issue, not to first-time petitions on a subject. The bill replaces previous rules with specific requirements for petition formatting, including uniform page size and detailed text formatting that must show deletions in brackets and new text underlined. First-time petitioners on a specific subject are exempt from the fee. The measure directly affects individuals or groups seeking to place initiatives on the ballot multiple times for the same issue.
