SJR 13 - This proposed constitutional amendment submits a
proposal to voters regarding funds obtained by the State as a
result of any legal settlement or award resulting from a final
order in a dispute between the state and tobacco companies. The
proposal excludes the funds from the calculation of total state
revenues and any refund of excess revenues, and designates that
the money shall be deposited in the Missouri Healthy Families
Trust Fund. The Fund shall be used solely for health care for,
and research for cures of, tobacco-related diseases, tobacco-
related prevention and cessation programs and to promote a safe
and heathy environment for children.
