FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the following regarding this
proposal:
Administrative Impact
To implement the proposed legislation, the Department will be required to:
• Update the Missouri titling manual;
• Make changes to procedures, correspondence letters, forms, and the Department website;
• Provide License Offices and stakeholders these changes as applicable; and
• Train staff
FY 2024- Motor Vehicle Bureau
Associate Research/Data Analyst 40 Hrs @ $19.90 = $796
Lead Admin Assistant 20 Hrs @ $17.05 = $341
Administrative manager 5 Hrs @ $26.96 = $135
FY 2024 Strategy and Communications Office
Associate Research/Data Analyst 10 Hrs @ $19.90 = $199
Total Cost =$1,471
The Department anticipates that they will be able to absorb these costs and that there will be
minimal impact. If multiple bills are passed that require department resources, FTE may be
requested through the appropriations process.
Oversight assumes DOR is provided with core funding to handle a certain amount of activity
each year. Oversight assumes DOR could absorb the costs related to this proposal. If multiple
bills pass which require additional staffing and duties at substantial costs, DOR could request
funding through the appropriation process.
Officials from the Attorney General’s Office assume the proposal would 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. 2041H.02C
