FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from Kansas City assume this legislation modifies the definition of video service
provider to exclude streaming devices. Limiting the definition might have a negative fiscal
impact if the City were allowed to include streaming in with video service.
In response to a similar proposal from 2022 (SB 1232), officials from the City of Springfield
anticipated a possible negative fiscal impact of an indeterminate amount from this bill if a court
case in pending litigation involving another city determines that streaming services are obligated
to pay video service licensing fees, since this bill would revise the definition of "video service"
to exclude businesses offering streaming content.
Oversight assumes this proposal may create a fiscal impact to local political subdivisions that
collect the franchise entity fee in Section 67.2689, as that fee utilizes the “video service”
definition, which is being amended by this bill. Oversight will reflect a $0 to potential unknown
revenue and potential unknown loss to local political subdivisions.
Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance assume 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.
