FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of Administration (OA) stated the resolution creates the Missouri
USA Semiquincentennial Commission with support to be provided by the OA. While it is not
clear what level of support this Commission would actually require, OA assumes that at least 1
new FTE would be needed to be dedicated to providing support to this commission. OA provided
a salary of $65,000 and total costs of approximately $115,000 per year for the FTE.
Oversight assumes the FTE for OA will start in July 2024 (FY 2025) and will not reflect a cost
in FY 2024.
Oversight also notes according to SAMII, the Missouri Bicentennial Celebration had
expenditures of $350,000 in FY 2020, FY 2021 and again in FY 2022. The expenditures for that
celebration were from Fund 0274 – the Division of Tourism Supplemental Revenue Fund.
Oversight will reflect the FTE from OA as well as an unknown amount of other expenditures in
FYs 2025 and 2026 from the General Revenue Fund. Oversight assumes the cost of the
commission, including OA FTE and celebration expenses could exceed the $250,000 threshold
for those two years.
Officials from the Office of the Governor state this bill adds to the Governor’s current load of
appointment duties. Individually, additional requirements should not fiscally impact the Office of
the Governor. However, the cumulative impact of additional appointment duties across all
enacted legislation may require additional resources for the Office of the Governor.
Officials from the Missouri House of Representatives assume the proposal would not create a
fiscal impact. The legislation states that the expenses will be reimbursed by the joint contingent
appropriation. They defer to the Senate on the impact this legislation will have on the availability
of that appropriation.
Officials from the Missouri Senate state they anticipate a negative fiscal impact to the joint
contingent appropriation to reimburse 4 members for travel to the America 250 Commission
meetings. In summary, it will cost approximately $575.30 per meeting for the four members. The
Senate assumes no fiscal responsibility for the other commissioners.
Oversight assumes reimbursement of the 13 members’ actual and necessary expenses would be
reflected in the unknown other expenses incurred by the commission.
Officials from the Office of the Lieutenant Governor did not respond to our request for fiscal
impact. L.R. No. 1289S.01I
