FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§568.060 – Abuse or neglect of a child
Officials from the Department of Public Safety - Missouri Highway Patrol, the Department
of Social Services, the Missouri Office of Prosecution Services, the Office of the State Public
Defender, the Kansas City Police Department, the St. Joseph Police Department, the St.
Louis County Police Department, and the Phelps County Sheriff’s Department assume the
proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization.
In response to a previous version (HB 2596), officials from the Department of Corrections
(DOC), and the Office of the State Courts Administrator
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.
The DOC states there was only one person released from FY 2019 through FY 2021 whose most
serious sentence was under section 568.060. The offense class was B and the person served 3.8
years in prison with the department.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions;
however, other local law enforcement were requested to respond to this proposed legislation but
did not. A listing of political subdivisions included in the Missouri Legislative Information
System (MOLIS) database is available upon request.
