SEQ CHAPTER \h 1§ 288.132 & 288.133 – Unemployment Automation Fund
Officials from the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DOLIR) state section
288.133 would require each employer that is liable for contributions to pay an annual
unemployment automation adjustment of two one-hundredths of one percent of the employer’s
total taxable wages for the twelve-month period ending the preceding June thirtieth. The total
adjustment due from all employers is not to exceed five million dollars.
In addition, for the first calendar quarter of each year, the total amount of tax contributions
otherwise due for each employer liable for contributions shall be reduced by the dollar amount of
the automation adjustment.
Taxable wage for period ending June 30, 2021: $ 22,013,351,744 X 0.02% = $4,402,670.
The Department anticipates being able to absorb the implementation costs, including ITSD costs
through a current UI maintenance agreement and existing funds. However, until the FY 2023
budget is final, the Department cannot identify specific funding sources.
Oversight notes for this bill, ITSD assumes they will contract out the programming changes
needed to update automation adjustment percentage, contribution rate of employers, and
to create tables for the unemployment automation fund. ITSD estimates the project would take
820.8 hours at a contract rate of $111 per hour for a total cost to the state of $91,109.
Oversight notes that DOLIR has an existing maintenance contract that is paid by the
Unemployment Compensation Administration Fund, supplemented by the Unemployment
Automation Fund as funds are available. Additionally, DOLIR selects its ongoing consultancy
rate dependent on difficulty of the programing and has a choice to employ in-house ITSD at $95
per hour, or outside IT consultants at $111 per hour. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a one-time
IT consultant cost of $0 up to ($91,109) in the fiscal note for FY 2023.
In response to a similar proposal from 2022 (HB 2290), officials from the University of Central
Missouri assumed the proposal would have indeterminate fiscal impact on their organization.
Oversight notes subsection 288.133.4 states that there shall be an offsetting reduction due from
each employer liable to pay contributions under chapter 288. Therefore, Oversight will assume
the proposal will net to zero fiscal impact to employers, including colleges, universities, and
local political subdivisions.
In response to a similar proposal, SB 876 (2022), officials from Missouri State University
stated the proposal would not have a direct fiscal impact on their organization.
§§303.025 & 303.041 – Inoperable Motor Vehicles L.R. No. 4926H.06T
Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed CCS for SS for SCS for HCS for HB 2168
Page 5 of
June 3, 2022
KC:LR:OD
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assumed the following regarding this
proposal:
Administrative Impact – Driver License Bureau (DLB)
The proposal allows the Department to suspend registration of a vehicle if it has reason to
believe a vehicle is uninsured. Currently, the Department enforces compliance with the insurance
law in the following ways:
• If an owner fails to show proof of insurance at the time of registration, registration or renewal
of registration is denied;
• A no insurance conviction assesses four points to a driver or owners driving record; and
• If an insured driver and owner are involved in an accident and it is reported to the Department
pursuant to §303.040, the driver’s operating privilege and the owner’s vehicle registration is
suspended.
The court also has the ability to enter an order suspending the driving privilege, pursuant to
§303.025.3. In CY 2021, the Department received 4 court-ordered suspensions. The Department
does not have available data to determine an estimated volume of increase, but assumes it will be
minimal enough to be absorbed by current FTEs. If the increase is more significant than
anticipated or additional laws are passed that impact the staff who process these court orders,
additional FTEs may be requested through the appropriations process.
To implement the proposed legislation, the Department will be required to:
• Create forms
• Update Department’s website
• Draft Internal and External procedures
• Draft Administrative Rules
FY 2024 –Driver License Bureau (DLB)
Associate Research/Data Analyst 160 hrs. @ $19.47 per hr. = $ 3,115
Research/Data Analyst 160 hrs. @ $24.29 per hr. = $ 3,886
Administrative Manager 60 hrs. @ $26.37 per hr. = $ 1,583
Total $8,584
Administrative Impact – Motor Vehicle Bureau (MVB)
To incorporate the necessary changes to account for voluntary registration suspension by motor
vehicle owner and requests to reinstate said registration, the Department will be required to: L.R. No. 4926H.06T
Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed CCS for SS for SCS for HCS for HB 2168

• Incorporate the necessary changes of various Department systems;
• Update procedures, manuals, correspondence letters, and the Department website; and
• Train staff.
FY 2024 – Motor Vehicle Bureau
Associate Research/Data Analyst 134 hrs. @ $18.87 per hr. = $2,529
Research/Data Analyst 34 hrs. @ $23.55 per hr. = $ 801
Administrative Manager 17 hrs. @ $25.56 per hr. = $ 435
Total $3,765
FY 2024 – Strategy and Communications Office
Associate Research/Data Analyst 30 hrs. @ $18.87 per hr. = $ 566
Research/Data Analyst 30 hrs. @ $23.55 per hr. = $ 707
Total $1,273
Grand Total Cost $5,038
The Department anticipated being able to absorb the above costs. If multiple bills are passed that
require Department resources, the Department will request funding/FTE through the
appropriations process.
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 noted OA-ITSD services will be required at a cost of $142,922 in FY 2023 (1,504.44
hours x $95 per hour) and $14,292in FY 2024 and FY 2025 (150.44 hours x $95 per hour).
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary in regards to DOR’s assumptions;
therefore, Oversight will reflect DOR’s OA-ITSD costs on the fiscal note.
SEQ CHAPTER \h 1
§319.129 – Petroleum Storage Tank Insurance Fund
In response to a previous version, officials from the Petroleum Storage Tank Insurance Fund
(PSTIF) assumed the following regarding this proposal:
Section 319.129.16 would extend all PSTIF Board of Trustees' operations until 12/31/2030.
Under current law, the Board's operations will be reduced on 1/1/2026, thereafter no longer
accepting new claims. Revenue will cease and the cash balance in the Fund will be used for
paying costs for claims previously filed, including the administrative costs necessary during the
"wind down" period until all claims are closed or moneys are depleted. Actuarial analysis L.R. No. 4926H.06T
Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed CCS for SS for SCS for HCS for HB 2168
Page 7 of
June 3, 2022
KC:LR:OD
indicates the cash balance on 12/31/2025 will not be sufficient to meet long-term liabilities for
claims already filed, plus those expected to be filed before the sunset date. The estimated
shortfall is approximately $45 million. This issue is exasperated by the anticipated increase in
claims as the sunset date nears and tank and property owners rush to test for impact of previously
unreported pollution and file claims before the cut-off.
If this bill passes, the rush to file end-of-program claims will be spread out over more years,
lessening the impact as revenues are still being collected. Additionally, in an effort to have
adequate revenue to meet long-term liabilities, the PSTIF Board of Trustees is currently
considering an increase in the transport load fee, the primary source of revenue for the Fund. The
five additional years of collection this bill provides would allow for a smaller increase in the fee.
PSTIF's 2021 "Breakeven Analysis" estimates that revenues and expenses from 1/1/2026 through
12/31/2030 (the period of the proposed extension) with no increase in the transport load fee
would be consistent with current PSTIF budget plus/minus typical fluctuations due to economic
factors and claims projections as follows:
FY 2026: Total Est. Revenue $16,846,213; Total Est. Expenses $18,253,921
FY 2027: Total Est. Revenue $16,791,007; Total Est. Expenses $18,478,701
FY 2028: Total Est. Revenue $16,735,401; Total Est. Expenses $18,375,900
FY 2029: Total Est. Revenue $16,679,367; Total Est. Expenses $18,613,508
FY 2030: Total Est. Revenue $16,622,888; Total Est. Expenses $18,860,690
FY 2031(1/2): Total Est. Revenue $7,675,000; Total Est. Expenses $12,859,926
Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect an
extension of revenue and related expenses as provided by the PSTIF.
Oversight notes there was a balance of $43,217,520 in the Petroleum Storage Tank Insurance
Fund (0585) as of May 31, 2022. The fund had receipts of $17.5 million in FY 2021.
§375.159 – Travel Insurance
Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance believe the costs of this section
can be absorbed within current appropriations. However, should the cost be more than
anticipated, the department would request an increase to FTE and/or appropriations as
appropriate through the budget process.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero
impact in the fiscal note for this section.

Patrol, the Department of Social Services, the Missouri Department of Conservation, the
Office of the State Treasurer, the Office of the State Courts Administrator, the Missouri
Office of Prosecution Services, the City of Claycomo and Kansas City 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.
SEQ CHAPTER \h 1Officials from the Department of Health and Senior Services and the
Department of Corrections defer to the Office of Administration for the potential fiscal impact
of this proposal.
SEQ CHAPTER \h 1SEQ CHAPTER \h 1Rule Promulgation
Officials from the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules assume this proposal is not
anticipated to cause a fiscal impact beyond its current appropriation.
Officials from the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) note 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 for
this fiscal note to the SOS for Administrative Rules is less than $5,000. The SOS recognizes that
this is a small amount and does not expect that additional funding would be required to meet
these costs. However, the SOS also recognizes that many such bills may be passed by the
General Assembly in a given year and that collectively the costs may be in excess of what the
office can sustain with its core budget. Therefore, the SOS reserves the right to request funding
for the cost of supporting administrative rules requirements should the need arise based on a
review of the finally approved bills signed by the governor. L.R. No. 4926H.06T
