FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the City of Kansas City state this proposal could have a significant negative
fiscal impact on the City by requiring the City to increase the amount of funds to the Kansas City
Police Department.
Officials from the Kansas City Police Department (KCPD)
negative fiscal impact to the KCPD. In response to a previous version, KCPD stated based on
information provided to Kansas City, Missouri Police Department by the Kansas City, Missouri
Finance Department, FY 2021-22 revenues, all sources, are $1,763,471,697. The City excludes
over $1 billion of total revenues when applying the current one-fifth statutory limitation in
84.730, making it appear that the City is funding the KCPD at a higher percentage.
Officials from the Department of Revenue 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.
According to KCPD’s Appropriated Budget for 2021-22, $256,773,275 is appropriated for FY
2022. Oversight assumes this appropriated budget reflects the current 20% statutory limitation
when additional forces are needed by the KCPD. This proposal suggests a 25% limitation which
when applied would yield $320,966,594 (($256,773,275/.20) x .25). This would be an increase in
funding to the KCPD of $64,193,319 ($320,966,594-$256,773,275). Oversight notes this bill is
not contingent upon passage of SJR 38. If the SJR is not approved by voters, then this proposal
could be subject to the Hancock Amendment and could impact state revenues (dependent upon
legal actions and court decisions). Therefore, upon SJR 38 being passed and approved by the
voters, Oversight will reflect a potential increase in funding costs of $0 or greater than $64.1
million for this proposal.

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
Under current law, the city of Kansas City is required to provide one-fifth of its general revenue
per fiscal year to fund the Kansas City Board of Police. This act increases such funding to one-
fourth of the city's general revenue.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
