Dear Auditor Kelly:
You have submitted to us a fiscal note and fiscal note summary prepared pursuant to Section 116.175, RSMo Supp. 1997. The fiscal note summary which you have submitted is as follows:
The fiscal impact to state and local governments of adopting this constitutional amendment is the continuation of revenues ranging from approximately $95,000,000 to $170,000,000 annually, that are currently received from gambling boats and floating facilities that most likely could not continue to be licensed under the present constitution.
See our Opinion Letter No. 129-98.
Pursuant to Section 116.175, we approve the legal content and form of the fiscal note summary. Since our review of the fiscal note summary is mandated by statute, no action we take with respect to such review should be construed as an endorsement of the petition or as the expression of any view regarding the objectives of its proponents.
Sincerely,
JEREMIAH W. (JAY) NIXON
Attorney General
