FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials from the following agencies indicated this proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their respective agencies: Department of Economic Development - Public Service Commission and Office of Public Counsel; Department of Revenue; Office of State Treasurer; Department of Insurance, Finance, and Professional Regulation; and Department of Public Safety - Office of Director and Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator state this proposal has no fiscal impact on the Courts.

Officials from the Office of Secretary of State (SOS) assume many bills considered by the General Assembly include provisions allowing or requiring agencies to submit rules and regulations to implement the act. The SOS is provided with core funding to handle a certain amount of normal activity resulting from each year’s legislative session. The fiscal impact to the SOS office for Administrative Rules for this proposal is less than $2,500. The SOS recognizes this is a small amount and does not expect additional funding would be required to meet these costs. However, SOS also recognizes that many such bills may be passed in a given year and that collectively the costs may be in excess of what the SOS can sustain with their core budget. Any additional required funding would be handled through the budget process.

Officials from the Office of Attorney General assume that any potential costs arising from this proposal can be absorbed with existing resources.

Officials from the Office of Prosecution Services did not respond to a request for fiscal note.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.

FISCAL DESCRIPTION

The proposed legislation appears to have no fiscal impact.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
