FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§579.041 – Drug-masking product
Officials from the Department of Health and Senior Services, the Department of Public
Safety - Missouri Highway PatrolOffice of the State Courts Administrator
the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their 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 Missouri Office of Prosecution Services (MOPS) assume the proposal will
have no measurable fiscal impact on MOPS. The enactment of a new crime creates additional
responsibilities for county prosecutors and the circuit attorney which may, in turn, result in
additional costs, which are difficult to determine.
Officials from the Office of the State Public Defender (SPD) state the proposed legislation
creates a new offense under Section 579.041 which could result in additional cases eligible for
SPD representation. The fiscal impact is unknown in that the number of additional cases is
unknown.
Oversight notes in FY22 the SPD was appropriated moneys for 53 additional FTE. Oversight
assumes this proposal will create a minimal number of new cases and that the SPD can absorb
the additional caseload required by this proposal with current staff and resources. Therefore,
Oversight will reflect no fiscal impact to the SPD for fiscal note purposes. However, if multiple
bills pass which require additional staffing and duties, the SPD may request funding through the
appropriation process.
