SB 1615 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Creates new provisions relating to the treatment of summary statements of ballot measures

SB 1615 establishes rules for official summaries on statewide ballot measures. It requires the legislature to provide a concise, neutral summary (max 100 words) and a financial impact summary (max 50 words), both written without bias. If the legislature fails to provide these, the secretary of state must draft them with input from legislators, and the attorney general must approve them within 10 days. Voters can challenge these summaries in court within specific timeframes, with the secretary of state named as a defendant.
