Ronald J. Calzone v. Interim Commissioner of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Roger Dorson, in…

Summary

The Supreme Court of Missouri affirmed judgments upholding two education- and agriculture-related bills against challenges under the Missouri Constitution's original-purpose and single-subject requirements. The Court held that the bills' amendments remained germane to their broad original purposes, that the final titles identified permissible single subjects to which all provisions related, and that changing the bills' titles during the legislative process did not state a cognizable claim because a title is not part of the bill. No separate opinions were filed.
