Modifies provisions for ballot summary language adopted by the general assembly

HB 402 modifies Missouri's process for creating ballot summaries on constitutional amendments or bills without fiscal notes. It requires the secretary of state to prepare a concise, impartial summary (max 50 words) within 20 days, consulting the bill's sponsor and chamber leaders, and submit it to the attorney general for approval within 10 days. Once approved, the summary must appear verbatim on ballots, and courts cannot edit or rewrite it. This directly affects voters deciding on these measures and ensures standardized, legally vetted ballot language. The bill repeals prior provisions and creates a clear, time-bound procedure for summary preparation.
