FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§565.260 – Protecting a person’s privacy
In response to a similar proposal from this year (HB 1081), officials from the Office of the State 
Public Defender (SPD) stated the proposed legislation creates new offenses under sections 
542.402 and 565.260 which could result in additional cases eligible for SPD representation. 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. No. 1937H.02P

Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions; 
however, other ambulance/EMS, fire protection districts, and local law enforcement 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.
§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

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.
