The circuit court agreed with the disclosure claim and ordered Amendment 3 removed from the ballot. The Supreme Court of Missouri reversed, holding that the initiative petition complied with the constitutional and statutory form requirements, did not violate the single-subject rule, and ordered Amendment 3 placed on the 2024 general election ballot.","primaryTopic":"administrative-law","topicSlugs":["administrative-law","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","other"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=211775","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/mary-elizabeth-anne-coleman-kathleen-anne-forck-hannah-sue-kelly-and-marg-100742","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
