Description
In Missourians to Protect the Initiative Process v. Blunt, 799 S.W.2d 824 (Mo. banc 1990), this Court enjoined the Secretary of State of Missouri from placing an initiative before the voters that purported to "reorganize the legislature and, at the same time, impose constitutional ethical restrictions on officers, officials and employees of the legislative and executive departments." Id. at 831. The Court rested its holding on the constitutional limitation the people imposed on themselves by prohibiting an initiative petition from containing "more than one subject and matters properly connected therewith." Mo. Const. art. III, § 50. In this case, we consider whether House Committee Substitute for House Bills 551 and 552 (H.C.S.H.B.s 551 and 552), enacted by the 87th General Assembly, First Regular Session (1993 Laws of Mo. __) (Wests No. 102, 1993 Vernons Missouri Legislative Service No. 4, 668-676), violates the constitutional limitation the people imposed on the legislature that "no bill shall contain more than one subject which shall be clearly expressed in its title . . . ." Mo. Const. art. III, § 23.
