FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Economic Development and Missouri Department of
Transportation 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.
Oversight notes the Regional Planning Commissions receive funds from the Office of
Administration and are required to be matched with local funds. This proposal doubles those
limits and also provides for adjustments with the consumer price index beginning January 1,
2025. Oversight will reflect amounts “Up to” the proposed new amounts as these are caps, not
actual appropriations. Oversight will use an inflation rate of 2% to calculate the amounts for FY
2026 and beyond. Oversight notes the appropriation in the current budget cycle (Perfected HB 5
– Section 5.305) is $560,000, so there may be not additional fiscal impact in FY 2025.

Similarly, the maximum amount of state funds than can be allocated for the following regional
planning commissions is increased from $25,000 to $50,000 each: South Central Ozark, Ozark
Foothills , Green Hills , Bootheel ,Mark Twain ,Southeast Missouri, Boonslick, Northwest
Missouri, Mid-Missouri, Kaysinger Basin, Lake of the Ozarks, Meramec, Northeast Missouri,
Harry S. Truman, MO-Kan, Pioneer Trails, and Southwest Missouri. This bill removes the
regional planning commissions currently known as "Show-Me", "Missouri Valley, Ozark
Gateway", "ABCD" and "Lakes County".
Beginning July 1, 2026, and annually thereafter, the maximum grant amount for each regional
planning commission will be adjusted based on the consumer price index.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
