Voters that cast a ballot in the November 6th election will consider four amendments to the state constitution and three propositions. Today, KCHI presents the Amendment 4 Ballot Language and Fair Ballot Language. Amendment 4 would affect BINGO in the state.
Official Ballot Title:
Do you want to amend the Missouri constitution to:
- remove language limiting bingo game advertising that a court ruled unenforceable; and
- allow a member of a licensed organization conducting bingo games to participate in the management of bingo games after being a member of the organization for six months instead of the current two years?
State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings from this proposal.
Fair Ballot Language:
A “yes” vote will amend the Missouri Constitution to remove language limiting bingo game advertising that a court ruled was unconstitutional and not enforceable. This amendment would also allow a member of a licensed organization conducting bingo games to participate in the management of bingo games after being a member of the organization for six months. Currently, the constitution requires two years of membership.
A “no” vote will not amend the Missouri Constitution regarding bingo games.
If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes.
