The number of additional cases is unknown and as a result the fiscal impact is unknown. However, if the offenses, which are classified as misdemeanors, were class D misdemeanors, jail time would not be a possible sentence and the offense, therefore, would not be eligible for SPD representation. 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. In response to a similar proposal from this year (HB 1081), officials from the from the Kansas City Police Department, the St. Joseph Police DepartmentSt. Louis County Police Department, the Phelps County Sheriff’s Department, the Fruitland Area Fire Protection District, and the Cole Camp Ambulance District assumed the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations. In response to a similar proposal from this year (HB 1081), officials from the Branson Police Department stated as for the vehicle tracking changes, there are no anticipated negative impacts and are in line with applicable case law. Oversight also notes a violation of the provisions of section 565.260 is a class A misdemeanor which carries a fine not to exceed $2,000 in addition to any individual county/municipal fees and court costs. The fine revenue for the ticket goes to local school funds and court costs go to various state and local funds. Oversight assumes there will be some (less than $250,000) fine revenue from violations of the statute. Therefore, the impact to various state funds and local governments will be presented as less than $250,000. For simplicity, Oversight will not reflect the possibility that fine revenue paid to school districts may act as a subtraction in the foundation formula. Below are examples of some of the state and local funds which court costs are distributed: L.R.

A listing of political subdivisions included in the Missouri Legislative Information System (MOLIS) database is available upon request. §105.1675 – Anti-Surveillance and Foreign Intervention Act In response to a previous version, officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance, Department of Health and Senior Services, the Department of Corrections, the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, the Office of Administration the Attorney General’s Office the Department of Economic Development the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Public Safety (Capitol Police Alcohol & Tobacco Control, Gaming Commission, Missouri Highway Patrol, Missouri National Guard the Office of the GovernorMissouri Ethics Commission, the Office of the State Courts Administrator, the Office of the State Auditor the Office of the State Public Defender, the Office of the State Treasurer each assumed the proposal will 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 organization. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact on the fiscal note for this section. L.R. No. 1937H.02P Bill No. Perfected HCS for HB Nos. 919 & 1081 Page 5 of March 9, 2023 KC:LR:OD House Amendment 1 §105.1500 – Personal Privacy Protection Act In response to a similar proposal from this year (HB 1064), officials from the Office of Administration (OA) assumed the proposed legislation would have a positive impact on OA Division of Purchasing as it would allow for the public to once again access needed procurement records on the Awarded Bid and Contract Document Search Website and MissouriBUYS Contract Board rather than having to submit an open records request to OA Purchasing in order to gain access to do so. This would reduce the number of open record requests received and reduce the number of hours needed by OA Purchasing to review bid and contract files for any personal Information of a 501(c) entity in the requested records and in bid files prior to award and in prior bid and contract files prior to the new solicitation’s issuance and to redact such before providing the bid and contract documents to the public in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of section 105.1500, RSMo. While there would not be a direct monetary savings to OA Purchasing, the proposed legislation would avoid Purchasing having to divert resources to completing the records reviews and redactions. In response to similar legislation, HB 667 from 2023, officials from the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) noted many bills considered by the General Assembly include provisions allowing or requiring agencies to submit rules and regulations to implement the act. The SOS is provided with core funding to handle a certain amount of normal activity resulting from each year's legislative session. The fiscal impact for this fiscal note to the SOS for Administrative Rules is less than $5,000. The SOS recognizes that this is a small amount and does not expect that additional funding would be required to meet these costs. However, the SOS also recognizes that many such bills may be passed by the General Assembly in a given year and that collectively the costs may be in excess of what the office can sustain with its core budget. Therefore, the SOS reserves the right to request funding for the cost of supporting administrative rules requirements should the need arise based on a review of the finally approved bills signed by the governor. Oversight assumes the SOS could absorb the costs of printing and distributing regulations related to this proposal. If multiple bills pass which require the printing and distribution of regulations at substantial costs, the SOS could require additional resources. In response to similar legislation, HB 667 from 2023, officials from the Department of Revenue, the Missouri Ethics Commission, the Office of the State Public Defender Department of Health and Senior ServicesDepartment of Corrections, the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, the Department of Public Safety (Capitol Police, Alcohol & Tobacco Control, Gaming Commission, Missouri National Guard, and Veterans Commission), the Department of Social Services, the Office of the Governor, Office of the Lieutenant GovernorMissouri Department of Conservation, the Missouri House of Representatives, the Office of Administration (Budget and Planning), the Office of the State L.R.

In response to similar legislation, HB 667 from 2023, officials from the St. Charles Community College Oversight notes that the Personal Privacy Protection Act was passed on HB 2400 in 2022. This legislation is making amendments to include exemptions from the Act. The above mentioned agencies have stated the proposal would not have a direct fiscal impact on their organizations.
