FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Transportation (MoDOT) assume the fiscal impact of this
proposal is a cost of $46,350, based on $450 per sign and 103 left turn signal indications in
diverging diamond interchanges on state highways.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary in regards to MoDOT’s assumptions;
therefore, Oversight will reflect MoDOT’s costs on the fiscal note.
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the following regarding this
proposal:
Administrative Impact
To implement the proposed legislation, the Department will be required to:
to include the new information (online and printed versions).
FY 2023 - Driver License Bureau
Research/Data Analyst 15 hrs. @ $24.29 per hr. =$364
Administrative Manager 10 hrs. @ $26.37 per hr. =$264
Total $628
FY 2023 - Personnel Services Bureau
Associate Research/Data Analyst 15 hrs. @ $19.46 per hr. =$292
Associate Research/Data Analyst 15 hrs. @ $19.46 per hr. =$292
Total $584
Total Costs $1,212
Oversight assumes DOR will use existing staff and will not hire additional FTE to conduct these
activities; therefore, Oversight will not reflect the administrative costs DOR has indicated on the
fiscal note.
DOR notes the proposed legislation would require updates to the Missouri Driver Guide that
could be absorbed, unless there are changes required to the driver examination questions
administered by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. If changes to the driver examination are
required, the updated driver guide must be available in printed form which will result in potential
destruction and printing costs outside of normal reordering. L.R. No. 3233H.01I
Bill No. HB 1749

The printing costs of the driver guide are currently covered by the Missouri State Highway Patrol
(MSHP).
Officials from the Missouri Highway PatrolOffice of the State Public Defender, Missouri
Office of Prosecution Services and Office of the State Courts Administrator each assume the
proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations. Oversight does not have
any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note
for these agencies.
Oversight also notes that local governments are allowed to forbid left turns with reference to
intersections which are under local government control. Oversight does not know how many
intersections might be impacted (if any); however, local governments would be responsible for
signage. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a potential cost to political subdivisions for additional
signage in FY 2023.
