FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of the State Courts Administrator, the Attorney General’s Office,
the Department of Commerce and Insurance, the Department of Economic Development,
the Department of Health and Senior Services, the Department of Natural Resources, the
Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, the Department of Public Safety (Fire
Safety and Office of the Director), the Missouri Department of Transportation, the City of
Kansas City and the City of Springfield
their respective organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary.
Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for these agencies.
Officials from the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) note 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 request funding through the appropriation process.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions;
however, other cities and counties 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.
