FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§§41.890 and 173.1153 – Military personnel eligible for in-state tuition
Officials from Northwest Missouri State University (NWMSU) assume the proposal will have
no fiscal impact to their organization unless the State does not reimburse for tuition and fees (e.g.
Returning Heroes Program).
Officials from the University of Central Missouri (UCM) assume the proposal will have no
fiscal impact on their organization as UCM already provides in-state rates for all services
members, veterans, and their dependents for undergraduate and graduate programs.
Officials from the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development, the
Missouri National Guard and the University of Missouri System 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.
Due to the limited number of responses received from colleges and universities, Oversight
assumes Colleges and Universities may experience a reduction in tuition and fees received from
military personnel and relatives and will reflect a potential ($0 or) negative unknown fiscal
impact for College and University Funds. Oversight has no information on the number of
military personnel or their family members that take advantage of this benefit, or if any of them
are paying out of state tuition for undergraduate or graduate degree programs. Oversight assumes
this proposal clarifies that the benefit applies to both undergraduate and graduate degree
programs. For fiscal note purposes, Oversight assumes if some colleges are not applying the
benefit to both, there could be a reduction in tuition revenue to colleges and universities with the
passage of this proposal; however, Oversight assumes any decrease in tuition and fees would not
reach the $250,000 threshold per year. L.R. No. 3219H.01I

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
This bill clarifies that specified military service personnel, their spouses, and their
unemancipated children under 24, individuals serving in the Missouri National Guard, and any
individuals serving in a reserve component of the Armed Forces of the United States, be
considered Missouri residents for the purposes of any undergraduate or graduate degree program
in Missouri institutions of higher education.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space. L.R. No. 3219H.01I
