No. 4599H.01I Bill No. HB 2418 Page 3 of March 30, 2022 BB:LR:OD FISCAL ANALYSIS ASSUMPTION Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the proposal stops the Missouri One Start Community College New Jobs Training Fund and the Missouri One Start Community College Job Retention Training Fund and replaces them with the Missouri One Start Community College Training Fund. This fund will receive both the new and retained job credits. DOR is required to develop new forms for the reporting of these credits. The creation of the new form is estimated at $10,000. Oversight notes that officials from the DOR assume the proposal will have a direct fiscal impact on their organization, and that the organization will need to create a new form to comply with the proposal. Officials from the Office of Administration – Budget & Planning (B&P) assume if more projects utilize the training programs, these projects could also apply for other tax credits. If more tax credits are issued, there could be an unknown decrease in General Revenue. Conversely, to the extent this proposal encourages other economic activity, General and Total State Revenue may be impacted, but B&P cannot estimate the induced revenues. Oversight notes Section 620.803.1 states: The department shall establish a "Missouri One Start Program" to assist companies with recruitment services. Furthermore, Section 620.806.3 states: Funds in the Missouri One Start Job Development Fund shall be appropriated, for recruitment services. Oversight notes that the “recruitment services”, is new, allowing employers to receive potentially more credits from the General Revenue which is currently being disbursed into the Missouri One Start Development Fund. Therefore, Oversight will note Unknown negative amount to the GR for purpose of recruitment (less money collected through withholding are now being diverted to the Missouri One Start Development Fund), and Unknown positive amount of money coming to the Missouri One Start Development Fund for a potential disbursement to employers who are participating in the program. Oversight notes that average expenditure per worker, from Missouri One Start Job Development Fund, totaled $322.52 ($7,108,352/22,040) in FY 2017- FY 2019 period. Additionally, there were more than 22,040 workers helped throughout the same period. Oversight notes it would take only 775 existing or additional workers to reach $250,000 in spending due to the new Recruitment Program participation. Oversight notes that Missouri One Start Community College New Jobs Training Fund and the Missouri One Start Community College Job Retention Training Fund will be replaced with the Missouri One Start Community College Training Fund. L.R. No. 4599H.01I Bill No. HB 2418 Page 4 of March 30, 2022 BB:LR:OD Oversight notes the proposal specifies the Missouri One Start Community College New Jobs Training Fund and the Missouri One Start Community College Job Retention Training Fund both shall receive withholding credits from DOR until June 30, 2023. All the unobligated credits received on and after July 1, 2023 shall be transferred to the new fund, Missouri One Start Community College Training Fund, created under the proposal. Therefore, Oversight will show an unknown positive amount impact to the Missouri One Start Community College Training Fund beginning FY 2024 and forward. Lastly, will show Unknown amount (unobligated funds) being transferred from Missouri One Start Community College New Jobs Training Fund and the Missouri One Start Community College Job Retention Training Fund into the Missouri One Start Community College Training Fund beginning FY 2024.
