FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Section 115.615 – County and City Committee Meeting Location
Officials from the Jackson County Election Board, Platte County Election Board, St. Louis
City Board of Elections and the St. Louis County Election Board 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.
Rule Promulgation
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
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.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions;
however, other cities and counties were requested to respond to this proposed legislation but did
not. A listing of political subdivisions included in the Missouri Legislative Information System
(MOLIS) database is available upon request.

FISCAL IMPACT – Small Business
No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.
FISCAL DESCRIPTION
The proposed legislation appears to have no direct fiscal impact.
This bill repeals the requirement that county committees hold their meetings within the seat of
the county in advance of primary elections, and repeals the requirement that the St. Louis City
committee chair may designate where that committee will meet on the same day as the county
committee.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
