Modifies provisions relating to ballot measures
SB 935 allows any Missouri citizen to challenge a ballot measure's official title or fiscal note in Cole County Circuit Court within 10 days of certification. The bill requires courts to prioritize these cases and mandates specific revisions to the summary statement (up to three times) if deemed insufficient, with the secretary of state submitting revised versions under strict deadlines. If revisions fail, the court can write the final summary for ballot inclusion. This directly affects citizens challenging measures, the secretary of state, and state auditors as defendants, streamlining legal review for statewide ballot measures.
