FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§12.070 – Federal Mining Revenue Distribution
Officials from the Missouri Department of AgricultureDepartment of Natural Resources 
and Missouri Department of Transportation each assume the proposal will have no fiscal 
impact on their respective organizations.  
In response to a similar proposal from 2023 (HCS for HB Nos. 948 & 915), officials from the 
Missouri Department of Conservation and the Office of Administration - Budget and 
Planning each assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on 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 for these agencies.
In a revised response from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), 
DESE stated based on their review of the legislation, it is somewhat unclear as to who distributes 
these funds when they are sent to the state.  DESE assumes no ITSD costs for this part of the 
proposal.  
Oversight assumes DESE will not be materially fiscally impacted by updating these distribution 
changes and will show DESE’s zero fiscal estimate for ITSD programming. 
Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect the 
estimates as provided by DESE.
Upon further inquiry, MDA notes the department has not received any payments from the 
National Forest Receipts Program.  Oversight assumes the Mark Twain National Forest is 
located in the following counties: 
Carter Bollinger Ozark Howell Butler Barry
Texas Taney Stone Ste. Gen. Wright Douglas
Christian Washington Ripley Iron Callaway Boone
Phelps Oregon Laclede Wayne Reynolds Crawford
Shannon St. Francois Madison Dent Pulaski
Section 163.024 - Fine Revenue for Certain School Districts L.R. No. 1163S.04C 
Bill No. SCS for HCS for HB 631  
Page 5 of 
May 1, 2023
KB:LR:OD
Officials from Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) believe the 
potential impact is unknown based on the language as written. If the school district had to record 
the Doe Run Fines as fines, it would reduce the amount of basic formula funds owed to the 
school district which could be a savings to the state. If the school district has received Doe Run 
Fines and it has reduced their basic formula payment DESE will be required to pay those funds 
back to the district which would be a cost to the state. DESE is unable to estimate the exact 
amount of the impact without knowing the amount of fines involved.
Officials from the Department of Natural Resources 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 for this agency for this section.  
In response to a similar proposal from 2023 (HCS for HB Nos. 948 & 915), officials from the 
Office of Administration - Budget and Planning (B&P) stated B&P defers to the Department 
of Natural Resources for potential impacts to the county school funds based on their issuance of 
penalties authorized in this section. To the extent that any additional revenues to the county 
school funds are considered fines that could impact school finances, B&P defers to the 
Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for the potential impact.
Previously, DESE stated the fines paid into the Iron County school fund are from the Doe Run 
mine settlement and if those fines had to be included in the districts local effort calculations it 
would result in a lower foundation formula to those districts.
That being said, the last time these same fines where paid, this exact same law was in place to 
prevent the large fine amount from devastating the amount of foundation formula the affected 
districts would receive.  So the reply was in reference to the fact that last time these same fines 
were paid they were not included as part of the local effort deduction.  
But there would officially be a lower formula call if this law were not in place, but at this time 
DESE does not have enough information in order to estimate that.
Oversight notes the following school districts appear to be located in Iron County: 
∙
∙
∙
∙
Per the second amended and restated Administrative Order on Consent No. APCP-2019-001 the 
penalty to be paid by the respondents is $1,200,000 in three annual payments of $400,000, a 
fourth payment of $354,368 plus an additional payment of $384,771. 
Based on information provided by DNR, Oversight notes the first two payments of $400,000 
have been paid as well as the payment for $384,771 for a total of $1,184,771. The remaining  L.R. No. 1163S.04C 
Bill No. SCS for HCS for HB 631  
Page 6 of 
May 1, 2023
KB:LR:OD
payment of $400,000 was due by September 9, 2022 and a fourth payment of $354,368 is due 
September 8, 2023. 
Based on information provided by DESE, Oversight notes some of the school districts located in 
Iron County are considered hold harmless and the state aid payment would not change regardless 
of the whether the fine revenue is included in the calculation of local effort for districts 
considered hold harmless. However, two of the districts are not considered hold harmless and 
any fine revenue not included in the calculation of local effort as a result of this proposal would 
result in a dollar for dollar increase in the state aid calculation. Therefore, Oversight will show a 
range of impact from $0 (districts impacted are considered hold harmless) to a potential 
increased call to the foundation formula.
Oversight anticipates the exclusion of the fine revenue from the calculation of local effort would 
not impact the foundation formula until the year following remittance. Therefore, Oversight will 
show a cost for General Revenue beginning in FY 2024 for an amount equal to the fine revenue 
of $400,000 followed by $354,368 in FY 2025.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions; 
however, county commissioners, and school districts were requested to respond to this proposed 
legislation but did not. A listing of political subdivisions included in the Missouri Legislative 
Information System (MOLIS) database is available upon request.
§§196.311, 196.316, 323.100 & 413.225 – Missouri Department of Agriculture Fees
Officials from the Missouri Department of Agriculture (MDA)
no fiscal impact on their organization. MDA notes the provisions in this proposal will allow 
MDA to collect the same amount of revenue as it currently does.
Oversight notes the proposal sets the following annual fee limits:
Dealer’s licence for eggs $100 
Retailer’s license for eggs $175 
Processor’s license for eggs $250
Testing of meters for liquefied petroleum gas $400
Calibrations testing $500 per calibration
Oversight notes the new fee limits become effective January, 2025 and allow the MDA 
additional flexibility in setting the annual fees.  Oversight assumes there will be no direct 
additional fiscal impact to the MDA.

In response to a similar proposal from 2023 (HCS for SB 109), officials from the Department of

fiscal impact on their organization.

Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for this agency for these 
sections.  
§644.016 – Provisions Relating to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act
Officials from the Department of Natural Resources assume Section 644.016(25) removes 
“and nonpoint source pursuant to any federal water pollution control act”. The Department, 
through its federal delegated authority, is responsible for assessing the quality of Missouri’s 
water and identifying impaired waters, the pollutant impairment, and the source of the 
impairment for purposes of 303d listings. Removal of nonpoint sources of pollution under the 
federal clean water act could result in more involvement from United States Environmental 
Protection Agency, oversight of activities in the state, and loss of nonpoint source grant funding 
for both administration and pass-through project funding.
The Department would lose approximately $4,740,000 dollars in federal funding. Of the $4.7M, 
$2,454,800 is pass-through project funds. Losing this federal funding would create a loss of 17 
FTE* for the Department. (The $4,740,000 in federal funding includes the Personal Service and 
Expense & Equipment tied to the 17 FTE.) The federal impacts of loss of grant funding and cost 
avoidance were netted to $0.
DNR notes there would be a loss of $1,556,800 in 319h Nonpoint Source Implementation Grant 
funds.  This amount represents 40% of the total annual grant award amount.  This is a cost 
avoidance/savings for the Water Pollution Permit Fee Fund as the work activities would end with 
the loss of the federal funds and the department; therefore, would no longer have to meet the 
40% match requirement.
In addition, the following federal funds would be affected:
319 Project Funding - $1,946,000
319 Public Participation Grant Funding - $1,946,000
604B Funding - $   848,000
Total $4,740,000
Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect the 
estimates as provided by the DNR. L.R. No. 1163S.04C
