Four constitutional amendments are on the ballot for the August 4th Primary.
Constitutional Amendment 2 ballot language reads as follows.
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:
-
- require all charter counties, including Jackson County, to provide for the election of a county assessor; and
- require assessors in all charter counties to comply with any training requirements established by general law?
State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.
The fair Ballot language supplied by the Missouri Secretary of State reads:
A “yes” vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to require that all charter counties, including Jackson County, elect a county assessor and that such assessors comply with training requirements established by state law.
A “no” vote will not change the current constitutional provisions, which exempt Jackson County from the requirement to elect its assessor and do not require charter county assessors to follow training requirements under general law.
If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes.
