FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§§43.650 and 589.437 – Violent offender registry
Officials from the Department of Public Safety – Missouri Highway Patrol (MHP)
proposal would require the Patrol’s Sex Offender Registry vendor to build and maintain a
database specific for the Violent Offender Registry and develop an interface with DOC for the
submission of the registry data to be generated to the website and when an offender is to be
removed once individuals are no longer on probation or parole for offenses requiring registration.
The one-time cost to create a Violent Offender Registry and associated components is estimated
at $100,000, with an ongoing yearly maintenance cost of $15,000.
The Patrol estimates that 1,081 individuals could qualify as violent offenders; however, this does
not account for qualifying offenses that occurred outside of the state.
The Patrol states a portion of §43.650 related to the sexual offender registry website is federally
mandated, pursuant to the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, Title I of the
Sex Offender Registration and Notifications Act (SORNA).
The MHP states this response is different from the response provided for Perfected HB 1705
(2022). The Patrol is using a different vendor. With the new vendor, plus some other cost savings
measures, the MHP was able to lower the cost.
Oversight does not have any information contrary to that provided by MHP. Therefore,
Oversight will reflect MHP’s impact for fiscal note purposes.
Officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) assume no impact since this proposal has
no penalties or references to penalties.
Officials from the Department of Mental Health assume the proposal will have no fiscal
impact on their organization.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero
impact in the fiscal note. L.R. No. 1258H.01I

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
This bill specifies that the State Highway Patrol must maintain on its website a registry for
violent offenders who are on probation or parole for the offense of first or second degree murder
in Missouri or for an equivalent offense in any other state or persons who were found not guilty
of such offense by reason of mental disease or defect. The Division of Probation and Parole
within the Department of Corrections must notify the State Highway Patrol if a violent offender
is placed on probation or parole, is removed from probation or parole, or relocates to the state
under the Interstate Compact for adult offender supervision so the State Highway Patrol can
update the offender registry accordingly.
Part of this legislation is federally mandated. The proposal would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. L.R. No. 1258H.01I
