*Current law allows (may) motor vehicle dealers to collect and remit sales taxes (dealers already 
have this ability).  This proposal requires motor vehicle dealers (as soon as technologically 
possible following the development and maintenance of a modernized, integrated system) to 
collect and remit sales tax.  This may increase the amount of sales taxes paid to the state  L.R. No. 1413H.07C

FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§§144.020 & 144.070 – Dealers to Remit Sales Tax
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the following regarding this 
proposal:
§144.070.11
As soon as the Department's Motor Vehicle and Driver Licensing System integration and 
modernization is completed, this provision requires all Missouri licensed dealers to collect and 
remit the sales tax on all motor vehicles that the dealer sells. When collecting and with timely 
remittance the dealer gets to keep two percent of taxes collected.
Administrative Impact
Motor Vehicle Bureau
The implementation of this legislation will be coordinated with the integration of the 
Department’s Motor Vehicle and Driver Licensing software system approved and passed by the 
General Assembly in 2020 (Senate Bill 176). Dealers collecting tax is a part of the new system 
requirements. The administrative impact for this bill is inclusive within the Department’s 
development and implementation of the new system.
Compliance and Investigations Bureau (CIB)
The proposal will have an impact on CIB as well. If dealers are collecting and remitting sales 
tax, this will increase the responsibilities of CIB to ensure appropriate tax collection. Additional 
resources will be requested through the appropriations process, if needed.
Oversight assumes DOR is provided with core funding to handle a certain amount of activity 
each year. Oversight assumes DOR could absorb the costs related to this proposal. If multiple 
bills pass which require additional staffing and duties at substantial costs, DOR could request 
funding through the appropriation process.
Revenue Impact
DOR notes the following estimates have been made using data from FY 2022 state and local 
sales tax collected on motor vehicles if the 2% timely discount is allowed for dealers that 
remit sales tax.
Total amount of state sales tax collected for motor vehicles sold by dealers in FY 2022
= $417,111,230 x 2% = $8,342,225 - Estimated Loss in MV State Sales Tax L.R. No. 1413H.07C

Total amount of local
= $340,659,669 x 2% = $6,813,193 - Estimated Loss MV Local Sales/Use Tax
Estimated loss of revenue annually = $15,155,418 ($757,770,899 x 2%)
This would be a decrease to state, city, and county funds
Dealers collecting sales tax at the time of purchase should result in an unknown increase in 
Motor Vehicle sales tax collections. This increase should mitigate/offset the loss in sales tax 
collections resulting from the 2% collection fee dealers will be able to retain.

Officials from the Office of Administration - Budget and Planning (B&P) assume the 
following regarding this proposal:
Section 144.070
This proposal would require motor vehicle dealers to collect and remit sales taxes, rather than 
applying the sales tax to the purchaser at the time of titling a vehicle.  Motor vehicle dealers are 
to begin collecting and remitting the sales tax after the development of DOR’s integrated motor 
vehicle system.  
B&P notes that motor vehicle dealers would be eligible for the 2% timely filing discount under 
Section 144.140.  Therefore, B&P estimates that this provision may reduce revenues to state and 
local taxing jurisdictions.
B&P also notes that the 3% tax on motor vehicles is deposited into the State Road Bond Fund 
(50%); the State Road Fund (36.5%); the State Transportation Fund (1%); and the Fuel Local 
Deposit Fund (FLOYD) (12.5%) which is then distributed to local jurisdictions.  
In addition to the 3% general tax, a tax of 1% is levied for education, 0.125% for Conservation, 
and 0.1% for Parks, Soil and water. L.R. No. 1413H.07C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SCS for SB 398  
Page 5 of

KB:LR:OD
In FY 2022, state 3% MV sales tax collections were $365,264,400.  Based on the 3% amount, 
B&P estimates that total taxable sales were $12,175,480,006.  Therefore, B&P estimates that 
granting the 2% timely filing discount to MV dealers would reduce state tax collections by up to 
$9,070,733 (includes state sales tax minus FLOYD distributions) annually.  In addition, B&P 
estimates that this would reduce local sales tax collections by up to $11,128,389 (includes both 
local sales tax plus FLOYD distributions) annually.  
Table 1 shows the impact by fiscal year by impacted fund.  B&P notes that the estimated impact 
is “up to” the amounts shown as not all MV businesses may choose to actually collect and remit 
the sales tax and not all businesses may qualify for the timely filing discount throughout a full 
fiscal year.

Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect the 
revenue loss estimates as provided by B&P.  In addition, Oversight will reflect an “Unknown” 
increase in revenue as indicated by DOR for the potential increase in sales tax collections due to 
motor vehicle dealers having the ability to collect the sales tax at the time of sale – if those sales 
taxes would not have otherwise been collected.
Oversight notes, DOR has indicated that the average estimated time to implement the new 
integrated system is between three and five years; therefore, Oversight will reflect the fiscal 
impact as $0 (new system has not been implemented yet) up to the estimates indicated by B&P 
(new system has been implemented).
Officials from the Missouri Highway Patrol
their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, 
Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for the Missouri Highway Patrol.  
In response to a similar proposal from 2023 (SCS for HB 15), officials from the Missouri 
Department of Transportation deferred to the DOR for the potential fiscal impact of this 
proposal. 
Rule Promulgation
Officials from the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules assume this proposal is not 
anticipated to cause a fiscal impact beyond its current appropriation. 
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  L.R. No. 1413H.07C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SCS for SB 398  
Page 7 of

KB:LR:OD
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.
§304.822 – Siddens Bening Hands Free Law
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the following regarding this 
proposal:
§304.822.3
Current law already provides for convictions for commercial vehicle operators who operate 
mobile phones or text while driving. In fiscal year 2022, the Department added 59 convictions on 
record. The Department assumes the new language would not result in a significant increase in 
these convictions.
The Department does not have available data to determine the potential increase, however 
officials assume it to be minimal enough to not require additional FTE. If the increase is more 
significant than anticipated, or additional laws are passed that impact the staff who process 
expungements, additional FTE will be requested through the appropriations process.
Administrative Impact
To implement the proposed legislation, the Department would be required to:
• Work with Missouri State Highway Patrol to create new charge codes for the new convictions.
• Develop new conviction codes in the Missouri Driver License (MODL) system.
• Work with OA-ITSD to add the new felony conviction code to the commercial disqualification 
routine.
• Work with OA-ITSD to create an evaluation routine for the increased point assessment for 
subsequent convictions in a 24 month period, and add the new conviction codes into the current 
point evaluation routine.
• Update commercial disqualification routines as required.
• Work with OA-ITSD to apply edits to the new convictions codes for violation date and non-
allowance of a driver improvement program.
• Complete system programming and user acceptance testing of MODL and the Missouri 
Electronic Driver License (MEDL) system.
• Update interactive applications for automated responses to customers through telephone system 
(current vendor Genesys) or online (DORA).
• Update forms, the Department website, and the Missouri driver guide.
• Work with the Public Service Bureau to develop a communication plan.
• Train internal staff and affected external agencies. L.R. No. 1413H.07C

Total = $32,824
FY 2024 – Public Service Bureau
Associate Research/Data Analyst 80 hrs. x $20.54 per hr. = $1,643
Total = $34,467
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.
DOR notes OA-ITSD services will be required at a cost of $33,653 in FY 2024 (354.24 hours x 
$95 per hour).
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary in regards to DOR’s assumptions; 
therefore, Oversight will reflect DOR’s OA-ITSD costs on the fiscal note.
DOR notes the fiscal impact estimated above is based on changes in the current system 
environment. The implementation of this legislation will be coordinated with the integration of 
the Department’s Motor Vehicle and Driver Licensing software system approved and passed by 
the General Assembly in 2020 (Senate Bill 176). To avoid duplicative technology development 
and associated costs to the state, it is recommended a delayed effective date be added to this bill 
to correlate with the installation of the new system.
Officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) assume this proposal enacts provisions 
relating to the operation of motor vehicles.  
Section 304.820 is repealed with section 304.822 replacing it, adding a class D felony offense.
As these are new crimes, there is little direct data on which to base an estimate, and as such, the 
department estimates an impact comparable to the creation of a new class D felony. 
For each new nonviolent class D felony, the department estimates three people will be sentenced 
to prison and five to probation.  The average sentence for a nonviolent class D felony offense is 5 
years, of which 2.8 years will be served in prison with 1.7 years to first release. The remaining 
2.2 years will be on parole. Probation sentences will be 3 years. 
The cumulative impact on the department is estimated to be 8 additional offenders in prison and 
22 additional offenders on field supervision by FY 2028. L.R. No. 1413H.07C

Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect the 
estimates as provided by DOC.
Officials from the Office of the State Public Defender (SPD) assume the creation of a new 
offense under Section 304.822 would have an unknown fiscal impact on SPD.  It is unknown 
how many additional cases would be eligible for SPD representation.
Oversight notes in FY 2022, 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 2023 (Perfected SS for SCS for SB Nos. 56 & 61), 
officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance, Department of Elementary and 
Secondary Education, Missouri Department of Transportation and Missouri Office of 
Prosecution Services each assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on 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.  
In response to a similar proposal from 2023 (Perfected SS for SCS for SB Nos. 56 & 61), 
officials from the Office of the State Courts Administrator
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 for OSCA.  
Oversight notes, according to data provided by the Office of the State Courts Administrator, 
there were 46 infractions (guilty pleas) in FY 2022 for the offense of 21 years of age and under 
texting while driving and 39 infractions (guilty pleas) for operating a CMV while texting, 
currently both with an approximate fine of $83 per ticket.
Of the $83 fine, $20.50 goes to local schools as fine revenue and the remaining $62.50 goes to 
various state and local funds for court costs. 
This proposal establishes fines for convictions starting at $50 (no prior conviction within the 
preceding 24 months) up to $250 (conviction for violation that occurred in a work zone or school 
zone).  This proposal also establishes misdemeanor and felony classes for certain violations.
Oversight is unable to determine how many violations, and which class of violation, will occur 
as a result of this proposal; therefore, Oversight will reflect an “Unknown, less than $125,000” 
fiscal impact to the state.  Oversight will reflect an unknown amount of fine revenue and court 
costs to local political subdivisions.  
Oversight will not show the fiscal impact until FY 2025 (6 months) as the proposal mandates 
prior to January 1, 2025, law enforcement shall only issue a warning to noncommercial motor 
vehicle drivers for any of these violations. 
Additional fine revenue received by local school districts may count as a deduction in the 
following year in determining their state aid apportionment, if the district is not a 'hold harmless' 
district.  For simplicity, Oversight will only reflect the increase in fine revenue as a positive 
impact to local political subdivisions.

To implement the proposed legislation, the Department will be required to:

• Make changes to procedures, correspondence letters, forms, and the Department website;
• Provide License Offices and stakeholders these changes as applicable; and
• Train staff

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 and Missouri 
Department of Transportation each assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their
