FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the following regarding this
proposal:
Administrative Impact
Driver License Bureau
The Department currently requires the ignition interlock for any second or subsequent
intoxicated-related enforcement contact (administrative and point accumulation actions) added to
a driver’s record. This includes Administrative Alcohol suspensions and revocations; chemical
refusals; point suspensions, and revocations; and any limited or restricted driving privileges
granted to these offenders.
This legislation is requiring the Department to add the ignition interlock device (IID)
requirement to any person with a blood alcohol content .15% or more for a first time offense.
This proposed legislation would require programming to the Missouri Driver License (MODL)
system to evaluate both administrative actions and convictions being processed, and add the
ignition interlock requirement to those actions even if there is not a prior alcohol-related
enforcement contact to the drivers’ record if the blood alcohol content is .15% or more.
This language is changing requirements for all restricted driving privileges to have the ignition
interlock installed before these privileges are issued. Currently, a sixty-day restricted privilege is
issued without the ignition interlock requirement for first time offenders and are automatically
generated systematically without the driver having to request one from the department. This
would require multiple additions to existing MODL evaluation routines that exist today. This
would also require the Department to revise all correspondence that is generated to the driver and
notices issued roadside by law enforcement.
In FY 2023, the department issued 2,285 sixty-day Restricted Driving Privileges (RDP) for first
time offenders.
DOR records indicate that 20,822 records currently require the installation of an ignition
interlock device for reinstatement monitoring or to comply with a court order.
In FY 2023, DOR received 4,181 administrative alcohol cases that showed a blood alcohol
content (BAC) of .15% or more as a first-time offense. L.R. No. 4068H.01I
Bill No. HB 1476
Page 4 of
January 17, 2024
KB:LR:OD
Passage of this bill will add IID requirements and monitoring to approximately 6,466 additional
records.
Ignition interlock manufacturers are required by State Code of Regulations, 7 CSR 60-2, to
submit all device status’ (installs, de-installs, and failure to maintain) and certification of
completion of the monitoring period. The Department expects an influx of telephone inquiries,
correspondence both through mail and email; and additional communications required between
their office and the ignition interlock manufacturers to ensure the integrity of the data and meet
the current department auditing processes. The department already answers approximately
32,000 calls a year regarding reinstatement requirements. The Department anticipates a
significant increase in calls due to this proposed language.
The impact to the Department is estimating a 25% to 50% increase in call volume; therefore,
DOR is requesting one FTE to answer these additional telephone inquiries. If the increase is
more significant than anticipated, additional FTE may be requested through the appropriations
process.
Telephone Inquiries
A telephone operator is expected to process 60 telephone inquiries daily.

/ 60 Telephone inquiries processed per day
1.05 1 FTE needed to answer telephone inquiries
Total of 1 Customer Service Representative ($3,426 month)
To implement the proposed legislation, the Department will be required to:
• Complete business requirements and design documents to modify the Missouri Driver License
System (MODL)
• Complete programming and user acceptance testing for the new evaluation for ignition
interlock requirement for first time offenders based on .15% BAC or higher
• Revision of MODL generated notices
• Revision of CTG notices
• Conviction routine evaluation
• Update policies, procedures, reports, forms, and the Department website
• Training for employees L.R. No. 4068H.01I

Oversight assumes DOR will use existing staff and will only hire the one additional FTE to
conduct these activities; therefore, Oversight will only reflect the cost for the additional FTE as
administrative costs DOR has indicated on the fiscal note.
DOR notes OA-ITSD services will be required at a cost of $3,720 in FY 2025 (35.42 hours x
$105 per hour).
Oversight assumes DOR is provided with core funding to handle a certain amount of activity
each year. Oversight assumes DOR could absorb the OA-ITSD 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.
DOR notes, the costs associated with these legislative changes may be outside of the current
contract and identified programming work for DOR’s incoming integrated system. As such, the
department has included the potential costs associated with making the changes to the integrated
system by the department’s current vendor.
Fusion Impact
Implementation Consultant 300 hrs. @ $250 per hr. = $75,000
Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect the
implementation consultant costs as provided by DOR.
Officials from the Missouri Department of Transportation and Missouri Highway Patrol
each assume the proposal will 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. L.R. No. 4068H.01I

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
Currently, a person who has had his or her driver's license suspended or revoked because of an
assessment of points for an intoxication-related traffic offense conviction and who has a prior
alcohol-related enforcement contact must show proof to the Director of Revenue that any motor
vehicle driven by the person has a certified ignition interlock device installed, and the ignition
interlock device must be installed for at least six months. L.R. No. 4068H.01I
Bill No. HB 1476
Page 7 of

KB:LR:OD
Under this bill, the requirement applies only to a person who has an intoxication-related traffic
offense conviction in which the person's blood alcohol content was at least .08 but less than .15
and who has a prior alcohol-related enforcement contact or to a person who has an assessment of
points for an intoxication-related traffic offense conviction in which the person's blood alcohol
content was found to be .15 or more.
The bill also prohibits restricted driving privileges to be issued to any person whose driving
record shows an intoxication-related traffic offense in which the person's blood alcohol content
was found to be .15 or more, until the person files proof with the Department of Revenue that
any motor vehicle operated by the person is equipped with a functioning, certified ignition
interlock device.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
