Missouri lawmakers are pushing to revive a controversial law on ballot summaries, with the House passing House Bill thirty-one forty-six. This bill boosts the secretary of states power to draft summaries and limits court interference. It also doubles the word limit for legislative ballot summaries to one hundred words. Supporters argue it restores authority to elected officials, while critics call it a spiteful overreach that defies the constitution. The issue gained heat last year during battles over ballot language for an abortion ban amendment. Meanwhile, the House approved seventeen other bills, including extending the statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse survivors to twenty years.
