FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Platte County Commission stated that the fiscal consequences of repealing Section 49.292 are difficult to estimate. If a county is not allowed to reject a parcel of property which included environmental contamination, and the county then became liable for remediation of the site, the cost to the public could run into the hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. The only limitation on potential liability to counties would be the willingness of property owners to dump problem properties onto the public.
Officials of the City of Centralia assume to repeal this section could be used to transfer property that is contaminated or some other liability.
Officials of the City of West Plains assume no fiscal impact.
Oversight assumes no state fiscal impact. Oversight based on responses will show potential impact to counties. Oversight cannot determine the statewide impact and will show fiscal impact as a negative unknown.
