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 absorbing 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 will use existing staff and will not hire additional FTE to conduct these
activities; therefore, Oversight will not reflect the administrative costs DOR has indicated on the
fiscal note.
In response to a previous version, officials from the Attorney General’s Office assumed 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.
Officials from the Office of Administration assume the proposal will 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. 1413S.04C
