No. 4752H.01I Bill No. HB 2327 Page 3 of January 28, 2022 KC:LR:OD FISCAL ANALYSIS ASSUMPTION Officials from the Office of Administration – Division of Personnel (OA) state if this proposal should pass, the Office of Administration shall be responsible for the technical and administrative support duties that would be required by the task force. Duties of this nature are expected to be appropriate for a Lead Administrative Support Assistant. During those time frames when the task force is meeting, we project the support role to involve approximately 20- 30 hours of work per week. In years when the task force does not conduct meetings, the need for support would be minimal and is projected to be 10 hours or less per week. An additional .5 FTE of administrative support is necessary to ensure support for this task force. The annual salary for a Lead Administrative Support Assistant is $38,085.00, so the cost to hire a .5 FTE in this role is anticipate to be $27,306. Some E&E (paper, printer toner, etc.) costs may also result from producing copies of requested documents. Oversight assumes OA is provided with core funding to handle a certain amount of activity each year. Oversight assumes OA could absorb the duties related to this proposal. If multiple bills pass which require additional staffing and duties at substantial costs, OA could request funding through the appropriation process. Officials from the Missouri Senate (SEN) anticipate a negative fiscal impact to the Senate Contingent appropriation to reimburse 3 Senators for travel to task force meetings. In summary, it will cost approximately $383.67 per meeting. Oversight assumes SEN is provided with core funding to handle a certain amount of activity each year. (Oversight notes Senate Contingent Expenses were appropriated $40,000 from the Senate Revolving Fund (0535) for FY 2022). Oversight assumes SEN could absorb the costs related to this proposal. If multiple bills pass which require additional staffing and duties at substantial costs, SEN could request funding through the appropriation process. Officials from the Department of Economic DevelopmentDepartment of Higher Education and Workforce Development and the Missouri House of Representatives 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. In response to a similar proposal from last year (HB 1178), officials from the Office of the GovernorOversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note. L.R. No. 4752H.01I Bill No. HB 2327 Page 4 of January 28, 2022 KC:LR:OD FISCAL IMPACT – State Government FY 2023 (10 Mo.)
