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. Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions; however, numerous counties were requested to respond to this proposed legislation but did not. A listing of political subdivisions included in the MOLIS database is available upon request. §44.251 – Protecting Missouri’s Small Businesses Act In response to a similar proposal from 2023 (Perfected HCS for HB 1263), officials from the Office of Administration - Budget and Planning (B&P) noted this proposal would require a reduction of fees, personal property tax, and real property tax in political subdivisions with shutdown orders. Qualifying shut down orders must be caused by reasons outside of a business’ control. Beginning January 1, 2024, any political subdivision with a shutdown order that lasts for at least 21 consecutive days or 45 cumulative days must: longer. was closed due to the shutdown order. This proposal would not: subdivision. For shutdown orders that end before June 1 st , the county assessor must reduce the property tax liability for all real and personal property located within the boundaries of the shutdown order. L.R. No. 1229S.08S Bill No. CCS for HCS for SS for SB 222 Page 4 of May 10, 2023 KB:LR:OD The reduction shall be based on the number of days a business was closed due to the shutdown order. Affected taxpayers must then pay the reduced tax amount by December 31 st . For shutdown orders that end on or after June 1 st , the taxpayer must pay the full property tax liability by December 31 st . The county assessor must then provide information on how such taxpayer may apply for a refund. The taxpayer must apply for a tax refund by January 15 th . The county assessor must then calculate the allowable refund amount by February 15 th and pay all refund claims by March 15 th . B&P notes that Section 44.251.4(2) requires business owners that rent or lease their real property distribute the property tax savings to all renters and lessors. B&P further notes that it is unclear whether this proposal would impact state property tax levies, if there were a statewide shutdown order. B&P also notes that the Blind Pension Trust Fund levies a $0.03 per $100 assessed value property tax on all real and personal property located within Missouri. B&P is unaware of any restrictive public health orders currently in effect. Therefore, this proposal may have an unknown impact on state and local revenues in the future. B&P notes the following concerns with the proposed language: o were a statewide shutdown order. Section 44.251.2(2) includes orders by the state within the definition of “shutdown order”. Therefore, B&P assumes that if there were a statewide shutdown order, state revenues would be impacted through the reduction in license fees as well as reductions in real and personal business property. o license fees for six months for any shutdown order that lasts less than 180 days. If a business is closed due to a shutdown order for 22 consecutive days, the political subdivision must still waive the fees for the full 180 days. B&P further notes that the last sentence Section 44.251.4(1)(a) allows business license fees to be prorated, but the language provides no information as to how they may be prorated. B&P assumes that the license fees may be prorated for the remaining six months (or less depending on the length of the closure) of the year. B&P further assumes that the license fees may not be prorated to account for only the days a business was actually closed (if less than six months). st L.R. No. 1229S.08S Bill No. CCS for HCS for SS for SB 222 Page 5 of May 10, 2023 KB:LR:OD o if a taxpayer paid the reduced tax after December 31. It is unclear whether the taxpayer would be assessed interest and penalties on the reduced tax liability or on the full tax liability. o liable for the full tax amount (amount before reduction) if they pay the tax liability after December 31st. st o after December 31st. Whether a late payment would disqualify such taxpayer from receiving a refund, or whether interest and penalties would be assessed on the full tax liability or the remaining tax liability accounting for the refund amount. o to review and calculate the eligible refund amount for all refund claims within that county. B&P notes that as of 2019, the median number of businesses per county was 385 and there were 25 counties with over 1,000 businesses. In response to a similar proposal from 2023 (HB 1263), officials from the Jackson County Assessor assumed this proposed legislation could have a significant negative impact on County and other taxing jurisdiction’s operations if the County were required to adjust property tax amounts for days closed due to public health order. This fiscal impact could be measured in the millions of dollars when applied across all taxing jurisdictions such as school districts and fire protection districts. In 2020, Jackson County asked for the closure of all businesses deemed non-essential only after receiving guidance from the state Department of Health and federal Center for Disease Control (CDC). As soon as those closure recommendations changed at the federal and state levels, Jackson County eliminated its closure guidelines. A future national public health or public safety emergency may require the temporary closure of certain facilities to maintain public safety. Jackson County and its taxing jurisdictions should not be penalized for acting in the best interest of public health or safety. Officials from the City of Kansas City noted this legislation could have a substantial negative impact of an indeterminate amount. Officials from the City of Springfield anticipate a potential negative fiscal impact if the City needs to issue a shutdown order due to a public health emergency. In response to a similar proposal from 2023 (Perfected HCS for HB 1263), officials from the State Tax Commission assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their organization.

Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. For purposes of this fiscal note, Oversight assumes this proposal would not impact the Blind Pension Fund. If this assumption is incorrect, it could substantially alter the impact provided in this fiscal note. Oversight will present an impact on this fiscal note as a $0 (no shutdown order in implemented) to an unknown loss in revenue to local political subdivisions for the reduced property tax revenues and the waived business license fees. §§64.570, 64.820, 65.665, 89.380 & 182.819 – Library Boards and County Planning Commissions In response to a similar proposal from 2023 (Perfected HCS for HB 986), officials from the City of Jefferson assumed the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization.

No. 1229S.08S Bill No. CCS for HCS for SS for SB 222 Page 7 of May 10, 2023 KB:LR:OD In response to a previous version, officials from the City of Jefferson assumed there could be a fiscal impact if a court were to vacate a judgement a municipality has on a property as a result of the referenced court hearing. If a municipality had to hire an attorney to assist with such a court action, there could be a small fiscal impact. In response to a previous version, officials from the City of Kansas City and the City of Springfield 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 respective organizations.

A general listing of political subdivisions included in the MOLIS database is available upon request. §67.2727 – Meetings of Governing Bodies of Political Subdivisions In response to a similar proposal from 2023 (HCS for HB 1295), officials from Cole County assumed this proposal would have a fiscal impact of up to $622.18 per meeting. This amount is based on the compensation of department directors and senior staff members who are required to attend County Commission meetings, which are scheduled at least weekly. L.R. No. 1229S.08S Bill No. CCS for HCS for SS for SB 222 Page 8 of May 10, 2023 KB:LR:OD This results in an annual cost of $32,353.36 of staff time that may not be productive.

No. 1229S.08S Bill No. CCS for HCS for SS for SB 222 Page 11 of 22 May 10, 2023 KB:LR:OD §190.327 – Sales Tax for Emergency Services In response to a similar proposal from 2023 (CCS for HCS for SB 186), DOR provision repeals language regarding the Jefferson County EMG District. Jefferson County EMG District has a ½% sales tax for emergency services that brought in approximately $11 M in 2022. However, they are allowed up to a 1% sales tax per section 190.335 which is what they are formed under. It appears that the language in this section doesn’t really impact Jefferson County and being repealed would not have a fiscal impact. This provision will not fiscally impact DOR. Oversight notes this section repeals the provision which provides that a sales tax for emergency services or for providing central dispatching for emergency services shall not be greater than one-quarter of one percent in Jefferson County.

Eliminating the requirement for these inspections could reduce Building Division revenue by up to $800,000. Oversight inquired with STL regarding their response. The STL states that their response falls under two municipal ordinances: 67914 regarding the City Housing Conservation Program and 69202 regarding revised legislation on the City Housing Conservation Program. According to ordinance 67914, Section 5C: Upon determining that a dwelling unit has undergone a complete change of occupancy or a sale of the property as reflected in the Recorder of Deeds Office without first obtaining a Certificate L.R.

Oversight notes §475.275.2(2) of this proposal removes the requirements of a county of a certain population and opens the examination of accounts to all counties that are pooled for investing and management of estate funds to be examined on at least an annual basis. The proposal describes what will be examined and placed into a report which shall be paid by the county as outlined in §475.275.2(4). Oversight assumes counties could be impacted by this proposal, but is unclear by how much. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a $0 to negative unknown fiscal impact to counties for this proposal. §534.157 – Rental Properties Transfers of Titles Oversight assumes this section will have no fiscal impact. Sections 1 – 10 – Conveyances Section 1 – property in Iron County to MoDOT In response to a similar proposal from 2023 (SCS for HCS for HB Nos. 802, 807 & 886), officials from the Office of Administration, the Attorney General’s Office and the Department of Natural Resources each assumed the proposal would not fiscally impact their respective agencies.

Additionally, since the terms of conveyances are yet to be determined, the fiscal impact, if any, cannot be calculated. Therefore, the fiscal impact is $0 to unknown.

Oversight notes this property may be associated with the Delmina Woods Youth Facility (DSS) which closed in May of 2019 and is approximately 88 acres according to a report from the Office of Administration. Oversight cannot tell the size of the parcel from the description in the proposal. However, as this parcel could be material in size, Oversight will reflect the transaction of the conveyance of state property in Christian County as 1) a loss of the value of the state property, 2) the proceeds (if any) of the sale/conveyance, and 3) the annual savings (if any) to the state no longer maintaining the property. Oversight will assume a net fiscal impact of less than $250,000.
