Administrator, the University of MissouriNorthwest Missouri State University, the 
University of Central Missouri, the Kansas City Police Department, the St. Joseph Police 
Department, the St. Louis County Police Department, the Department of Higher Education 
and Workforce Development and the Phelps County Sheriff’s Department assume the

information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note.  
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions; 
however, other local law enforcement and colleges and universities 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.
