FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Natural Resources and Office of the State Treasurer 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.
Officials from the City of Kansas City, City of O’Fallon and City of Springfield
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.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions;
however, other cities were requested to respond to this proposed legislation but did not. A
general listing of political subdivisions included in Oversight’s database is available upon
request.
Oversight notes a new fund has been established, the “Flood Resiliency Improvement Fund” as
a result of this proposal. This fund could issue grants or offer financial assistance to entities for
the development, construction or renovation of a flood resiliency project. The department could
also develop its own plans with the funds.
Oversight notes this fund is subject to appropriation by the General Assembly; therefore,
Oversight will range the revenue from “$0” (the General Assembly does not appropriate funds to
the new program) to an “Unknown” amount (the General Assembly appropriates funds to the
new program). Oversight will also reflect an “Unknown” amount of costs in the form of
grants/financial assistance.
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. L.R. No. 4622S.02I
Bill No. SB 984

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.

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
This act creates the "Flood Resiliency Act", which shall be a flood resiliency program
administered by the Department of Natural Resources to increase flood resiliency along the
Missouri and Mississippi Rivers and their tributaries and to improve statewide flood forecasting
and monitoring ability. The state may participate in flood resiliency projects as set forth in the
act. A plan, which is defined as a preliminary report describing the need for, and implementation
of, flood resiliency measures, shall include information listed in the act. The Director of the
Department of Natural Resources shall only approve plans if it is determined that long-term
flood mitigation is needed in that area of the state, and that such a plan proposes flood resiliency
measures which will provide long-term flood resiliency.
Flood resiliency projects may be funded by moneys in the Flood Resiliency Fund created in the
act and such projects shall be eligible to receive other contributions and grants as stated in the
act.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
