FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§27.170 – Committee on Sex and Human Trafficking Training
Oversight notes the provisions of this section, which become effective January 1, 2025, and 
expire December 31, 2029, establish the Committee on Sex and Human Trafficking Training. On 
an annual basis, the committee will establish guidelines for the training, which is to be produced 
and distributed in digital platform, required under sections 56.265, 190.142, 198.082, 211.326, 
335.059, 337.618, and 590.050. The legislation provides that agencies may provide the training, 
and funding for the training is subject to appropriations. 
Oversight will reflect the possibility that the General Assembly could appropriate moneys to this 
training from the General Revenue Fund and assumes a $0 to unknown cost to produce and 
develop the training in a digital platform.
§190.142 – Ambulance services and emergency personnel 
Officials from the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) state section 
190.142.2(5) of the proposed legislation requires emergency medical technicians (EMTs), 
including paramedics, to receive four hours of sex and human trafficking training as part of the 
continuing education requirements for re-licensure with the DHSS every five years. The Division 
of Regulation and Licensure’s Bureau (DRL) of Emergency Medical Services will have the 
ability to verify the sex and human trafficking continuing education requirement during the EMT 
and paramedic re-licensure process.
DHSS assumes they can absorb the costs of this section with current resources. However, if the 
workload significantly increased or other legislation was enacted, additional resources would be 
requested through the appropriation process.
§210.1505 – Statewide Council Against Adult Trafficking and the Commercial Sexual 
Exploitation of Children
Officials from the Missouri Senate (SEN) anticipate a negative fiscal impact to reimburse two 
senators for travel to Statewide Council Against Adult Trafficking and the Commercial Sexual 
Exploitation of Children Council meetings.
The SEN assumes meetings will be held in Jefferson City during the interim. The average of the 
total round trip miles for current sitting senators is 256 miles and the current mileage rate, as set 
by the Office of Administration is $0.655 cents per mile. Therefore, the SEN estimates a total 
cost for senator mileage of approximately $335. The SEN assumes no fiscal responsibility for the 
other committee members. L.R. No. 3338H.03C 
Bill No. HCS for HB Nos. 1706 & 1539
Page 4 of 
February 5, 2024
DD:LR:OD
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Oversight notes extrapolating the 
SEN’s anticipated expenses to the entire task force (21 people) would be approximately $3,521 
per meeting. Oversight assumes four meetings per year for a total cost of $14,085. 
In response to similar legislation from 2024 (HB 1450), officials from the Attorney General’s 
Office (AGO) assumed the need for one (1) Council Chair/Executive Director (210.1505.1(1)) 
and one (1) administrative support staff to fulfill the duties of section 210.1505.3.
Oversight does not have any information contrary to that provided by AGO. Therefore, 
Oversight will reflect AGO’s impact for fiscal note purposes.
Oversight notes the provisions of this section establish the Anti-Trafficking Fund, which 
consists of moneys appropriated by the General Assembly as well as any gifts, donations, grants, 
and bequests.  Moneys in the fund shall be used solely to pay for the position of the executive 
director of the statewide council, education and awareness regarding human trafficking, and anti-
trafficking efforts through the state. 
Oversight will reflect the possibility that the General Assembly could appropriate moneys to this 
new fund from the General Revenue Fund. For fiscal note purposes, Oversight assumes services 
provided under this proposal will equal income/appropriations and net to zero.
§§566.151 and 567.030 – Criminal offenses involving a child
Officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) state this proposal modifies provisions 
relating to human trafficking. The bill modifies the age under which a vulnerable person's 
statements out of court may be admissible as evidence in court. It also modifies ages in sections 
566.151 and 567.030 that expand the applicability of the offenses of enticement of a child and 
patronizing prostitution, respectively. While these changes have the potential to impact DOC 
offender populations, DOC does not have the data on past offenses needed to estimate an impact. 
Therefore, the impact for 566.151 is an unknown cost. 
The bill also changes penalties for the offense of patronizing prostitution under section 567.030. 
The existing class B misdemeanor could be changed to a class E felony, the existing class E 
felony could be a class D felony, and the existing class D felony could be a class B felony.
There were eight convictions under section 567.030 in FY 2023 with class B misdemeanor 
penalties. For each new nonviolent class E felony, the department estimates one person could be 
sentenced to prison and two to probation. Therefore, DOC estimates that two of the eight 
additional sentences could be prison sentences and six could be probation sentences. The average 
sentence for a nonviolent class E felony offense is 3.4 years, of which 2.1 years could be served 
in prison with 1.4 years to first release. The remaining 1.3 years could be on parole. Probation 
sentences could be 3 years. L.R. No. 3338H.03C 
Bill No. HCS for HB Nos. 1706 & 1539

February 5, 2024
DD:LR:OD
There were three new court commitments to prison and five new probation cases under section 
567.030 during FY 2023. Of the three new commitments to prison, one was a class D felony and 
two were class E felonies. Of the five new probation cases, one was a class D felony and four 
were class E felonies. The three new prison commitments could be changed to one class B felony 
and two class D felonies. The five new probation cases could be changed to one class B felony 
and four class D felonies.

If this impact statement has changed from statements submitted in previous years, it could be due 
to an increase/decrease in the number of offenders, a change in the cost per day for institutional 
offenders, and/or an increase in staff salaries.
If the projected impact of legislation is less than 1,500 offenders added to or subtracted from the 
department’s institutional caseload, the marginal cost of incarceration will be utilized.  This cost 
of incarceration is $26.545 per day or an annual cost of $9,689 per offender and includes such 
costs as medical, food, and operational E&E.  However, if the projected impact of legislation is 
1,500 or more offenders added or removed to the department’s institutional caseload, the full 
cost of incarceration will be used, which includes fixed costs.  This cost is $99.90 per day or an 
annual cost of $36,464 per offender and includes personal services, all institutional E&E, 
medical and mental health, fringe, and miscellaneous expenses.  None of these costs include 
construction to increase institutional capacity.
  
DOC’s cost of probation or parole is determined by the number of P&P Officer II positions that 
are needed to cover its caseload.  The DOC average district caseload across the state is 51 
offender cases per officer. An increase/decrease of 51 cases would result in a cost/cost avoidance 
equal to the salary, fringe, and equipment and expenses of one P&P Officer II. 
Increases/decreases smaller than 51 offender cases are assumed to be absorbable.
In instances where the proposed legislation would only affect a specific caseload, such as sex 
offenders, the DOC will use the average caseload figure for that specific type of offender to 
calculate cost increases/decreases.  
Oversight notes, from information provided by the State Courts Administrator, the following 
number of felony convictions under §566.151 and §567.030: L.R. No. 3338H.03C

§567.030 felonies      1     0      2     3    10
Oversight notes the felony convictions under §566.151 are a class F felony.  
Oversight does not have any information contrary to that provided by DOC. Therefore, 
Oversight will reflect DOC’s impact for fiscal note purposes.
§589.700 – Human trafficking offenses
Oversight notes the provisions of this bill state in addition to any fine imposed for a violation of 
section 566.203, 566.206, 566.209, 566.210, 566.211, or 566.215, the court shall enter a 
judgment of restitution payable to the Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation Fund 
established under section 589.700, upon a plea of guilty or a finding of guilt for a violation of 
this section in the following amounts:


Upon receipt of the moneys from the fund, a county shall allocate the disbursement as follows:

local rehabilitation services such as mental health and substance abuse counseling; 
parenting skills, housing relief, vocational training, and employment counseling; and

increasing the number of local law enforcement members charged with enforcing human 
trafficking laws.
Oversight notes OSCA reported the following number of guilty convictions in 2019 – 2023:
         2019        2020        2021        2022        2023

§566.215 0 0 0           0 0
Oversight has no way to determine the number of victims associated with each guilty conviction 
listed above; therefore, Oversight will assume an (unknown) impact to the new Human 
Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation Fund. For fiscal note purposes, Oversight assumes services 
provided by the counties will equal income and net to zero. L.R. No. 3338H.03C

Bill as a whole
Officials from the Office of the Governor (GOV) 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 Office of State Courts Administrator (OSCA) state there may be some 
impact but there is no way to quantify that currently. Any significant changes will be reflected in 
future budget requests.
Officials from the St. Louis County Police Department state the proposed legislation would 
have a fiscal impact.  If passed, the Department would be required to update policy and conduct 
training to inform officers of the changes in law. Policy creation and updating would require 8 
hours of policy research and 4 hours of policy authoring. The average hourly wage of the policy 
development position is $46.69. The total cost of policy development is $560.28. The training 
development would require 8 hours at the same hourly wage of $46.69.  The total cost of training 
development is $373.52.
All 820 commissioned officers would be required to attend the two-hour training. The average 
rate of a police officer is $53.03.  The total cost of attending training is $86,969.  This cost does 
not include covering shifts for officers at the training, which will likely result in required 
overtime. 
Oversight notes because the training is provided on a digital platform and since the language is 
permissive, Oversight assumes the St. Louis County Police Department will be able to absorb the 
costs associated with this proposal.
Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance, the Department of Elementary 
and Secondary Education, the Department of Mental Health, the Department of Public 
Safety – (Office of the Director and Missouri Highway Patrol), the Department of Social 
ServicesMissouri House of Representatives, the Missouri Office of Prosecution 
ServicesOffice of AdministrationOffice of the State Public Defender, the Branson 
Police Department, and the Kansas City Police Department each assume the proposal will 
have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations.  
In response to similar legislation from 2024 (HB 1450), officials from the Office of the State 
Treasurer assumed 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 for these agencies.  
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions; 
however, other counties, county prosecutors, nursing homes, local law enforcement,  L.R. No. 3338H.03C
