| This measure did not or will not appear on a ballot |
Contents |
The measure would have allowed voters in Missouri counties and the City of St. Louis to set and control local taxes on cigarettes or tobacco products.[1]
A total of nineteen similar initiatives have been filed with the Missouri Secretary of State.[2]
Text of measure
The ballot title for the petition relating to initiative reform reads:[1]
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to allow voters in counties and certain cities to set and control local taxes on cigarettes or tobacco products within their county or city?
The proposal has no fiscal impact (change in costs, savings, or revenues) for state and local governmental entities since it would only modify the constitution to allow the establishment of local tobacco taxes if submitted to and approved by voters.
Path to the ballot
