According the Missouri secretary of state's fiscal note:[2]
- Annual state government revenue may have decreased by an estimated $236 million to $938 million. Annual state operating costs may have increased by at least $200,000. Reduced state revenue could have resulted in decreased state funding for local governments and public education entities. Public education entities could have had an unknown increase in donation revenue.

The supporting group had until May 4, 2014, to turn in the required amount of valid signatures. Missouri law states that signatures must be obtained from registered voters equal to eight percent of the total votes cast in the 2012 governor's election from six of the state's eight congressional districts, meaning supporters must submit at least 157,788 valid signatures by the May deadline.[4]
