FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Public Safety - Missouri Highway Patrol (MHP) anticipate
a fiscal impact if it implemented a pay plan under the proposed legislation, to assist with
recruiting, hiring, and retention. At this time, the Patrol has not researched a methodology to
implement a plan based upon employees' assigned areas. The most likely affected funds have
been listed within this response, however, the actual impact to each fund is unknown. Factors
influencing the fiscal impact would be the number of personnel, by job title and rank, in the
affected area and which fund or funds personnel were paid from. It is estimated the fund most
affected by House Bill 298 would be the Highway Fund (0644); however, General Revenue
Fund, Water Patrol Fund (0400) and the Gaming Commission Fund (0286), may have some
fiscal impact as well. The actual impact to each fund is unknown at this time.
MHP has provided Oversight with a breakdown of how many employees are paid from each
fund, per troop and General Headquarters. Since it is unknown if MHP will implement a pay
plan that is not uniform across the state, Oversight will range the fiscal impact as $0 (MSHP
does not implement a new pay plan) or a negative unknown cost to the most affected funds
provided by MHP (Highway Fund, General Revenue, Water Patrol and the Gaming Commission
Fund). Oversight will also reflect a cost to Other State Funds. Oversight assumes the unknown
cost could exceed $250,000.
