CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. 1
Proposed by the 95th General Assembly
(First Regular Session) SJR 5
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to require the office of county assessor to be an elected position in all counties with a charter form of government, except counties with a population between 600,001-699,999?
It is estimated this proposal will have no costs or savings to state or local governmental entities.
YES - FOR THE AMENDMENT
NO - AGAINST THE AMENDMENT
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. 2
Proposed by the 95th General Assembly
(First Regular Session) HJR 15
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to require that all real property used as a homestead by Missouri citizens who are former prisoners of war and have a total service-connected disability be exempt from property taxes?
The number of qualified former prisoners of war
and the amount of each exemption are unknown,
however, because the number who meet the qualifications is expected to be small, the cost to local governmental entities should be minimal. Revenue to the state blind pension fund may be reduced by $1,200.
YES - FOR THE AMENDMENT
NO - AGAINST THE AMENDMENT
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO. 3
Proposed by Initiative Petition
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to prevent the state, counties, and other political subdivisions from imposing any new tax, including a sales tax, on the sale or transfer of homes or any other real estate?
It is estimated this proposal will have no costs or savings to state or local governmental entities.
YES - FOR THE AMENDMENT
NO - AGAINST THE AMENDMENT
_______________________________________
STATUTORY MEASURES
PROPOSITION A
Proposed by Initiative Petition
Shall Missouri law be amended to:
* repeal the authority of certain cities to use
earnings taxes to fund their budgets;
* require voters in cities that currently have
an earnings tax to approve continuation of
such tax at the next general municipal
election and at an election held every 5
years thereafter;
* require any current earnings tax that is not
approved by the voters to be phased out
over a period of 10 years; and
* prohibit any city from adding a new
earnings tax to fund their budget?
The proposal could eliminate certain city earnings taxes. For 2010, Kansas City and the City of St. Louis budgeted earnings tax revenue of $199.2 million and $141.2 million, respectively. Reduced earnings tax deductions could increase state revenues by $4.8 million. The total cost or savings to state and local governmental entities is unknown.
YES - FOR THE PROPOSITION
NO - AGAINST THE PROPOSITION
_________________________________________
PROPOSITION B
PROPOSITION B
Proposed by Initiative Petition
Shall Missouri law be amended to:
* require large-scale dog breeding operations
to provide each dog under their care with
sufficient food, clean water, housing and
space; necessary veterinary care; regular
exercise and adequate rest between
breeding cycles;
* prohibit any breeder from having more than
50 breeding dogs for the purpose of selling
their puppies as pets; and
* create a misdemeanor crime of "puppy mill
cruelty" for any violations?
It is estimated state governmental entities will incur costs of $654,768 (on-going costs of $521,356 and one-time costs of $133,412). Some local governmental entities may experience costs related to enforcement activities and savings related to reduced animal care activities.
YES - FOR THE PROPOSITION
NO - AGAINST THE PROPOSITION
_____________________________________
PROPOSITION F
AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CHARTER
Proposition to amend the Charter of the City of St. Louis to increase the maximum fine to one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), by repealing existing Section 24 of Article IV and enacting a new Section 24 of Article IV relating to fines.
YES - FOR THE PROPOSITION
NO - AGAINST THE PROPOSITION
PREFERENTIAL PROPOSITION L
The Missouri Legislature took governance of the St. Louis Police Department during the Civil War. Do you believe that governance of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department should be returned to the City of St. Louis?
YES - FOR THE PROPOSITION
NO - AGAINST THE PROPOSITION

MISSOURI BALLOT MEASURES FOR NOVEMBER 2 GENERAL ELECTION
AMENDMENT #1:Official Ballot Title: Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to require the office of county assessor to be an elected position in all counties with a charter form of government, except counties with a population between 600,001-699,999?
A “yes” vote amends the Missouri Constitution to require that assessors in charter counties be elected officials. This proposal will affect St. Louis County and any Missouri county that adopts a charter form of government. The exception is for Jackson County.
A “no” vote will not change the Missouri Constitution and will keep the St. Louis county assessor position an appointed one.
Fiscal Impact: This amendment is estimated to have no impact on taxes or general revenue or any costs or savings to local government entities.
This amendment was placed on the ballot after passage of Senator Eric Schmitt’s SJR 5 in 2009.
A “yes” vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to exempt any Missouri citizen who is a former prisoner of war with a total service-connected disability from having to pay property taxes on all real property used as a homestead.
A “no” vote will not change the Missouri Constitution to add this exemption for former prisoners of war.
Fiscal Impact: Because the number of citizens estimated to meet this definition is very few, this amendment is estimated to have a minimal impact on local governments and is estimated to decrease the state blind pension fund by $1,200.
This amendment was placed on the ballot due to passage of Representative Maria Chappelle-Nadal’s HJR 15 in 2009.
Official Ballot Title: Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to prevent the state, counties, and other political subdivisions from imposing any new tax, including a sales tax, on the sale or transfer of homes or any other real estate?
A “yes” vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to prevent the state, any county, or other political subdivision from placing a tax on the sale or transfer of homes or any other real estate. This includes any transfer tax or sales tax.
A “no” vote will not change the Missouri Constitution to prevent the imposition of such a tax.
Fiscal Impact: This measure is estimated to have no impact to the costs or savings of local governments or state entities.
This amendment was placed on the ballot by Missouri’s initiative petition process.
A “yes” vote amends Missouri law to repeal the authority of certain cities to use earnings taxes to fund their budgets. The amendment also requires voters in the cities that currently use earnings taxes as a revenue generator (St. Louis and Kansas City) to approve continuation of the earnings tax at the next general municipal election and at an election held every five years, or if voted down, phase out the tax over a period of ten years.
A “no” vote will not change Missouri law regarding the use of earnings taxes by Missouri cities.
Fiscal impact: For 2010, Kansas City budgeted earnings tax revenue of $199.2 million and St. Louis budgeted earnings tax revenue of $141.2 million. Reduced earnings tax deductions could increase state revenue by approximately $4.8 million. The total cost or savings to state and local governmental entities is unknown.
This proposition was placed on the ballot by Missouri’s initiative petition process.
A “yes” vote will amend Missouri law to require large-scale dog breeding operations to provide each dog under their care with sufficient food, clean water, housing and space; necessary veterinary care; regular exercise and adequate rest between breeding cycles. The amendment also prohibits any breeder from using more than 50 breeding dogs for the purpose of selling their puppies as pets and creates the misdemeanor crime of “puppy mill cruelty” for any violations.
