FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§§571.030, 571.107, and 571.215 – Firearms
Officials from the Office of the State Public Defender (SPD) state the proposed legislation
creates a new criminal offense under Section 571.031, which could increase the number of
persons who are eligible for representation by State Public Defender (SPD). The fiscal impact of
this legislation on the SPD is unknown as the number of additional cases eligible for
representation as the result of the legislation is unknown, but it is anticipated that the impact
would be under $250,000.
Oversight notes in FY22 the SPD was appropriated moneys for 53 additional FTE. Oversight
assumes this proposal will create a minimal number of new cases and that the SPD can absorb
the additional caseload required by this proposal with current staff and resources. Therefore,
Oversight will reflect no fiscal impact to the SPD for fiscal note purposes. However, if multiple
bills pass which require additional staffing and duties, the SPD may request funding through the
appropriation process.
Officials from the Attorney General’s Office, the Department of Corrections, the
Department of Public Safety - Missouri Highway Patrol, the Missouri Department of
AgricultureMissouri Department of Conservation, the Missouri Department of
Transportation, the Missouri Office of Prosecution Services, the Office of the State Courts
Administrator, the City of Kansas City, the City of Springfield, the City of St. Louis, the
Kansas City Police DepartmentSt. Louis County Police Department, and the Phelps
County Sheriff’s Department
organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight
will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions;
however, other cities and police and sheriff’s departments were requested to respond to this
proposed legislation but did not. A general listing of political subdivisions included in
Oversight’s database is available upon request.
