FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of the Secretary of State, Department of Revenue, and Missouri
Ethics Commission each assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective
organizations.
Officials from the Jackson County Board of Elections, Platte County Board of Elections, and
St. Louis County Board of Elections
their respective organizations.
Oversight notes that the above mentioned agencies have stated the proposal would not have a
direct fiscal impact on their organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the
contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact on the fiscal note.
Oversight assumes currently candidates for public office are required to attest on their
declaration of candidacy form, filed with their local election authority, a statement saying they
are not delinquent in the payment of any state income taxes, personal property taxes, municipal
taxes, and real property taxes on their place of residence. This proposal appears to require that
candidates for public office in the City of St. Louis must provide proof of the taxes paid or no-
tax-due statements for each tax listed in addition to the attestation on the declaration of
candidacy form.
Oversight notes that Section 115.306.2 (4) states that this subdivision shall only apply to a city
not within a county’s offices that perform county functions (City of St. Louis). Oversight
assumes that any costs arising as a result of this proposal can be absorbed by City of St. Louis
with current resources; therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact on the fiscal note.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions;
however, other local political subdivisions were requested to respond to this proposed legislation
but did not. A listing of political subdivisions included in the MOLIS database is available upon
request. L.R. No. 0105H.01I
