FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator, Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions and Professional Registration, Department of Public Safety (DPS) - Director’s Office, Boone County Sheriff’s Department, and Springfield Police Department assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organizations.
Officials from the DPS - Division of Fire Safety state that to the best of their knowledge, there is a small number of pools this legislation will impact. Therefore, the Division of Fire Safety does not anticipate a fiscal impact due to this new requirement.
Officials from the Office of Attorney General (AGO) assume any costs associated with this proposal can be absorbed with existing resources. If the AGO receives a large number of complaints about owners who intentionally fail to carry adequate insurance, the AGO may seek necessary appropriations to do the work necessary to prosecute those cases.
Officials from the Office of Prosecution Services, Columbia Police Department, Independence Police Department, Jackson County Sheriff, Jefferson City Police Department, St. Charles Police Department, and St. Louis County Sheriff did not respond to our request for a statement of fiscal impact.
Oversight notes this proposal contains an emergency clause.
