The opinion the scout batch recorded as NOT LOCATED. Justia and courts.mo.gov both returned HTTP 403 to it and to this session. The opinion was not behind either of those walls: it is attached to the Secretary of State’s own Certificate of Sufficiency, on the Secretary of State’s own server, because the Court ordered it attached there.
Read 2026-09-21 as rendered page images at 200 dpi, and separately OCR’d so the text could be searched. Every sentence this alert quotes from the Court was read off the page image, not off the OCR, because OCR of a watermarked scan is not a character-checked read.
Footnote 1 reads “H.B. 1, 103d Gen. Assembly, 2d Extraordinary Sess. (2025),” which settles which of the state’s two conflicting descriptions of the session is correct.
Tier A for its own holding and its own text. It is not a source for anything about the map’s effect on any neighborhood; the Court decided a question of law about whether a referendum is available, and made no finding about Kansas City.
