HCS HJR 1 -- STATE COURT JURISDICTION (Cunningham, 86)

COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN:  Special Committee on General Laws

Upon voter approval, this proposed constitutional amendment
prohibits the Missouri Supreme Court or any inferior court of the
state from instructing or ordering the state or any county, city,
or political subdivision to levy or increase taxes.  The
amendment also prohibits any Missouri court from instructing or
ordering the state or any county, city, or political subdivision
on how to spend, allocate, or budget fiscal resources in a manner
inconsistent with duly enacted and effective legislation;
however, the judiciary system retains the inherent authority to
compel reasonable funding of judicial operations.

FISCAL NOTE:  Estimated Cost on General Revenue Fund of Less than
$100,000 in FY 2008, FY 2009, and FY 2010.  No impact on Other
State Funds in FY 2008, FY 2009, and FY 2010.
