Supreme Court of Missouri
Missouri Coalition for the Environment and Thomas J. Sager v. State of Missouri
February 4, 2020
Summary
The Supreme Court of Missouri affirmed summary judgment for the State, holding that SB 35 complied with the Missouri Constitution’s procedural requirements for legislation and was not an invalid special or local law. The Court concluded that the bill addressed the single subject of state land purchases, had a sufficiently clear title, retained its original purpose, did not implicitly amend other statutes, and applied statewide to a constitutionally created agency. No separate opinions were filed.
