FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
In response to the previous version of the bill, officials from the Department of Revenue 
(DOR) assumed 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 DOR is provided with core funding to handle a certain amount of activity each 
year. Oversight assumes DOR could absorb the costs related to this proposal. If multiple bills 
pass which require additional staffing and duties at substantial costs, DOR could request funding 
through the appropriation process. 
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.
In response to the previous version of the bill, officials from the Department of Economic 
Development (DED) assumed the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
Oversight, through e-mail conversation with DED in response to the similar proposal, received 
additional information with explanation as follows:
Section 620.803, RSMo, adds the definition of “recruitment services” to the Missouri One Start 
Job Development Fund program.  This is a service currently offered with the funds appropriated 
to Missouri One Start to assist companies with their hiring needs. Adding the recruitment 
definition solidifies this service as a core component of the Missouri One Start program.  This 
will not be an increase in funds to the program, but rather an additional core service offered 
within the funds appropriated to Missouri One Start.  This program is funded through a GR 
transfer to the Missouri One Start Job Development Fund.  
Section 620.809, RSMo, creates a new Fund, the “Missouri One Start Community College 
Training Fund” that will start July 1, 2023. This fund will combine two current funds, the MOS 
Community College New Jobs Training Program (NJTP) and the MOS Community College Job 
Retention Training Program (JRTP) into one new training fund.  The eligibility criteria for the 
NJTP and JRTP will remain the same. With appropriation authority for one combined fund 
instead of two separate appropriations–one for new jobs training projects and one for retained 
jobs training projects–Missouri One Start will have flexibility as between the two types of 
projects in any fiscal year.  The source of the funds will remain unchanged.  It comes from  L.R. No. 4599H.03C 
Bill No. HCS for HB 2418  
Page 4 of 
April 11, 2022
BB:LR:OD
diverting a portion of the employer withholdings taxes (roughly 2%) on the new/retained jobs 
approved within the training projects.  DOR diverts the withholding taxes into the respective 
fund.  DED, pursuant to appropriations, pays the diverted funds to the company’s designated 
training account established by the community college. The local community college will 
reimburse approved training expenditures to the company from the designated account.

Oversight notes Section 620.803.1 states: The department, specified as DED under the proposal 
language, 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” allows employers to receive potentially more 
credits paid by the Missouri One Start Development Fund. Missouri One Start Development fund 
receives funds directly from the general revenue fund. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a range 
from $0 (no additional employees are being recruited beyond the current recruitment levels 
already being paid for) to Unknown reduction to the GR (additional employees are being 
recruited beyond current levels and more GR funds are being transferred into the Job 
Development Fund where less money collected through withholding are now being diverted to 
the Missouri One Start Development Fund). 
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. Therefore, it is probable that the GR will have an additional 
expenditure that reaches over the $250,000 threshold. 
Oversight notes that the Missouri One Start Community College Training Fund is replacing 
Missouri One Start Community College New Jobs Training Fund and the Missouri One Start 
Community College Job Retention Training Fund. 
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  L.R. No. 4599H.03C 
Bill No. HCS for HB 2418  
Page 5 of 
April 11, 2022
BB:LR:OD
received on and after July 1, 2023, shall be transferred to the new fund, Missouri One Start 
Community College Training Fund, created by 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.
For informational purpose, Oversight included all actual expenditures under all three programs 
below:

Oversight excluded FY 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 participations (fluctuations) within 
any of the programs under the proposal. 
Officials from the Office of Administration, the Office of Administration – Administrative 
Hearing Commission, the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development, 
the Missouri Department of Transportation the Department of Elementary and Secondary 
Education each assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organizations.

Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero 
impact in the fiscal note for these agencies.  
 
Officials from the University of Missouri System and the Missouri State University both 
assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organizations. Oversight does not have 
any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note 
for those agencies.  
Officials from the City of Kansas City and the City of Springfield both assume the proposal 
will have no fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the 
contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for those cities.  
Rule 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. 4599H.03C

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
This bill assists companies with recruitment services which is defined as the promotion of 
workforce opportunities in Missouri. 
The Department of Economic Development (department) is to establish guidelines and develop 
an application form for a local education agency to submit on behalf of a qualified company who 
is applying for benefits. The department may provide financial assistance for training projects 
through the Missouri one start program from the Missouri One Start Job Development Fund to 
qualified companies. The department is responsible to administer the recruitment services, while 
the financial assistance for training projects is administered by a local education agency.  L.R. No. 4599H.03C 
Bill No. HCS for HB 2418

The department will disburse the funds from the "Missouri One Start Community College New 
Jobs Training Fund" through June 30, 2023 into the special funds established by the community 
college districts for training projects and the funds are used to pay for the training project costs. 
Any unobligated funds on July 1, 2023 are transferred to the "Missouri One Start Community 
College Training Fund" which has been created by this bill. 
The Department of Revenue shall develop the forms to apply the credits to the funds for all new 
and retained jobs credits. Beginning July 1, 2023, reimbursements made by all qualified 
companies to the Missouri One Start Community College Training Fund shall be no less than all 
allocations made by the department to all community college districts for all projects. A qualified 
company's training project may include both new jobs and retained jobs. 
The bill deletes the "Missouri One Start Job Training Joint Legislative Oversight Committee".
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not 
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
