FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Section 208.151 - MO HealthNet benefits for persons who have been diagnosed with breast or 
cervical cancer
Officials from the Department of Social Services (DSS), MO HealthNet Division (MHD) 
state this legislation amends Chapter 208 and adds one new section that would create additional 
pathways for Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment (BCCT) participants to be screened. This 
legislation would apply to the MO HealthNet (MHD) Fee-for-Service state plan. MHD identified 
1,365 potential eligible participants that could enroll in this program. MHD projected that within 
the first year (FY25), this population would ramp up over the first 10 months. An average 
monthly cost of $1,238 for BCCT participants was determined. A 6.3% medical inflation rate 
was used for FY26 and FY27.   
FY25:  Total – $7,625,957 (GR - $2,645,444; Federal - $4,980,512)
FY26:  Total – $21,555,633 (GR - $7,477,649; Federal - $14,077,984)
FY27:  Total – $22,913,638 (GR - $7,948,741; Federal - $14,964,897)
Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect the 
estimates as provided by the DSS, MHD.
In response to a similar proposal from this year (HB 2875), officials from the Newton County 
Health Department 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.  
§§303.425 - 303.440 - Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility
Officials from the Department of Revenue assume no fiscal impact from the proposal.  DOR 
states the bill extends the implementation date of the provisions, and has some clean-up 
measures to ensure optimal implementation. 
Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI) believe the costs of this bill 
can be absorbed within current appropriations. However, should the cost be more than 
anticipated, the department would request an increase in FTE and/or appropriations as 
appropriate through the budget process.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero 
impact in the fiscal note.   L.R. No. 5286H.07T

Repeal of Sections 361.700- 361.727 and enactment of Sections 361.900– 361.1035 – Money 
Transmitter 
Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI) – Division of Finance 
(DOF) assume the following:
DOF assumes these sections these sections authorize the commissioner of the Division of 
Finance (DOF) to administer, interpret, and enforce Sections 361.900-361.1035. It provides 
rulemaking authority for the DOF and addresses confidentiality of information submitted by 
licensees and applicants. It further permits the commissioner to enforce sections and regulations 
pertaining to money transmitters, and outlines required submissions by applicants for a money 
transmitter license.
All revenue and expenses would be deposited and deducted from the Division of Finance Fund 
(0550).
Revenue Estimate
Money transmitter companies are currently licensed under Sections 361.700-361.727. If passed 
these sections would be repealed and replaced by Sections 361.900-361.1035. For the purposes 
of this estimate, DOF assumes all of the 171 entities currently licensed under 361.700-361.727 
would convert their license to that which is authorized by Sections 361.900-361.1035.
Section 361.921
This section allows DOF to charge each money transmitter licensed under these sections for 
costs associated with their annual examinations. DOF assumes the commissioner will set 
licensure and renewal fees at a level to sustain the program without charging for licensee 
examinations.
Section 361.936
An Initial Application Fee and a License Fee set by the commissioner is required with the 
submission of an application for license. The fee would be set based on the cost to sustain 
operation of the licensure program. Licenses would be effective on the date of issuance by DOF 
and would expire on December 31 of each year. Annual renewal fees would be set by the 
commissioner based on the total operating expenses of the program.
Section 361.951
A fee set by the commissioner is required to accompany a request to acquire control of a licensee 
along with an application for acquisition. DOF estimates that 10%, or 9 such transactions would 
take place each year. The fee would be set at an amount sufficient to sustain operation of the 
program based on estimated operating costs.
Section 361.1026
This section authorizes the director to assess civil penalties for violations of 361.900-361.1035. L.R. No. 5286H.07T 
Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed HCS for SS for SB 1359

Revenue Loss
Since all of those currently licensed under Sections 361.700-361.727 are assumed to transition to 
these new licenses, DOF expects a loss of revenue from renewals under 361.700-361.727. The 
fee for renewals is $400 annually, resulting in a revenue loss of an estimated $68,400.
Expense Estimate
Expense estimates include a 2% annual inflation rate.
Section 361.921.1(1) 
DOF assumes this section authorizes examinations of licensees which would be conducted by a 
Senior Consumer Credit Examiner. Regular examinations would take place biennially, with half 
of the licensees examined each year. This would require an estimated 86 examinations be 
performed each year. It is estimated that a Senior Consumer Credit Examiner would spend an 
average of forty hours to complete an examination. Completed examinations would be submitted 
to the central office of the Division for compilation and formatting by an Administrative Office 
Support Assistant (AOSA). Examinations would be reviewed and approved by the Supervisor of 
Consumer Credit, estimated to take three hours for each examination.
Based on the average salaries of $53.15 for a Senior Consumer Credit Examiner; $19.91 per hour 
for an AOSA; and $64.46 for the Supervisor of Consumer Credit. The personal service cost for 
each examination is estimated at $2,339. Travel expenses are estimated at $500 - $2,500 per 
examination depending on the location of the licensee. For this estimate, the median of $1,500 
per exam was used.
Applications submitted pursuant to Section 361.936 would be reviewed by a Senior Consumer 
Credit Examiner, requiring an estimated 8 hours each; the Supervisor of Consumer Credit would 
spend an average of 1 hour reviewing recommendations of the Senior Consumer Credit 
Examiner regarding licensure approval or denial. It would take an average of 1 hour for the 
AOSA to process the approval or denial of each application.
Renewal of licenses for money transmitters would be completed on an annual basis, beginning 
January 1 after of the date of original issuance. Because the number of money transmitters has 
been fairly stable, it is estimated that ten would opt not to renew their licenses in FYs 2026 and 
2027, but would be replaced by new licensees. Renewal requests would be reviewed by a Senior 
Consumer Credit Examiner, taking an average of 6 hours each. Review of the recommendation 
for approval or denial would be handled by the Supervisor of Consumer Credit taking 
approximately one hour. The AOSA would then process the renewal license or denial at one hour 
per license.
Those entities seeking to acquire control of a money transmitter license are required to submit an 
application for acquisition. DOF assumes approximately 10% of licenses would have an 
acquisition application filed each year. For these 9 applications, an average of eight hours would 
be required for review by a Senior Consumer Credit Examiner, one hour of review of the 
recommendation of approval or denial by the Supervisor of Consumer Credit, and one hour to  L.R. No. 5286H.07T 
Bill No. Truly Agreed To and Finally Passed HCS for SS for SB 1359  
Page 6 of

KC:LR:OD
process the approval or denial of the acquisition.
Sections 361.957 – 361.963 
DOF assumes these sections require money transmitters to submit several reports to the Division 
including financial statements, reports of condition, and special events that affect the licensee. 
DOF estimates it would take a Senior Consumer Credit Examiner six hours to review each report 
and the Supervisor of Consumer Credit an average of one hour each to address any concerns 
identified by the Examiner.
Fringe Benefits are estimated at the standard rate.  Supplies and expenses for employees assigned 
to this program are estimated at $11,261 per FTE annually. Because the majority of Consumer 
Credit examination staff are telecommuters, rent and janitorial expenses would only be necessary 
for the AOSA and Supervisor positions.
DOF administrative support services, including general administration, training, human 
resources, accounting, budget, legal, and information technology services are covered in a 15% 
administrative overhead rate. This includes promulgation of rules and development of forms and 
websites to support these sections.
Cost Savings
Since those currently licensed under Sections 361.700-361.727 would transition to these new 
licenses, DOF expects that 171 renewals will not be processed, saving an estimated $68,400.
DOF assumes that this workload would be picked up by existing staff since repealed Sections 
361.700-361.727 would eliminate some existing workload.
Because the commissioner determines the fees associated with licensures and renewals under 
361.900-361.1035, DOF assumes the fees would be set at a level sufficient to sustain the 
operations of the program. Therefore, the net effect on the Division of Finance Fund (0550) 
would be $0.
Listed below is a summary revenue and expenses expected by DCI-DOF as a result of this 
proposal.

Oversight notes the cost related to the FTE expense provided by DOF is for existing staff and 
not additional FTE.  Oversight assumes DOF will have some additional expense related to the 
proposal, however, Oversight also assumes DOF will set the associated fees of the newly created 
license sufficient enough to sustain the program without any additional cost or loss to the 
department.  Oversight will reflect an unknown revenue and an unknown cost to the Division of 
Finance Fund (0550), roughly netting to zero.
DOF assumes all of the 171 entities currently licensed under 361.700-361.727 would convert 
their license to that which is authorized.
Therefore, Oversight will reflect the fiscal estimate to the Division of Finance Fund (0550) as a 
net revenue of Unknown.
Officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) state the proposal modifies provisions 
relating to financial transactions. 
DOC assumes section 361.981 includes one class E felony penalty and one class A misdemeanor 
penalty applicable to instances in which an authorized delegate fails to remit money in 
accordance with the written contract required by subsection 2 of section 361.1275 or as 
otherwise directed by the licensee or required by law.
DOC assumes section 361.1023 associates two class E felony penalties and one class A 
misdemeanor penalty with violations of requirements under sections 361.900 to 361.1035. 
Misdemeanor penalties are not generally within the purview of the department.
The bill creates three new class E felonies.
For each new nonviolent class E felony, the department estimates one person could be sentenced 
to prison and two to probation.  The average sentence for a nonviolent class E felony offense is 
3.4 years, of which 2.1 years will be served in prison with 1.4 years to first release. The 
remaining 1.3 years will be on parole. Probation sentences will be 3 years. 
The cumulative impact on the department is estimated to be 6 additional offenders in prison and 
21 additional offenders on field supervision by FY 2027. L.R. No. 5286H.07T

* 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 does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect 
estimate provided by DOC to the General Revenue Fund for FY 2025, FY 2026 and FY 2027.
Officials from the Office of the State Courts Administrator (OSCA) assume there may be 
some impact but there is no way to quantify that currently.  Any significant changes will be 
reflected in future budget requests.  
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero 
impact in the fiscal note.  
In response to a similar proposal from this year (HCS/HB 2087), officials from the Office of 
Budget & Planning stated this proposal creates new class E felonies and class A misdemeanors. 
To the extent that any related fines are deposited into the state treasury, this proposal could 
increase total state revenue by an unknown amount.
The Division of Finance has previously assumed that all of the entities currently licensed would 
convert their license to that which is authorized under the new sections. Because the 
commissioner determines the fees associated with licensures and renewals under this legislation, 
DOF has previously assumed the fees would be set at a level sufficient to sustain the operations 
of the program and furthermore assumed the net effect on the fund balance would be $0. B&P 
notes that TSR may be impacted if fees and revenues are set at a level where the net impact on 
the fund is not $0.
Officials from the Missouri Sheriffs' Retirement System stated that this legislation may have a 
negative impact if this legislation passes.  The Retirement System hires investment managers to 
invest its assets based on the investment policy.  Setting constraints on investment guidelines has  L.R. No. 5286H.07T

a potential of limiting investment earnings used to finance the retirement system.  At the time the 
negative impact is unknown.
Oversight assumes because the potential of limiting investment earnings is speculative that the 
Missouri Sheriffs' Retirement System will not incur significant cost related to this proposal.  
Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note.  
Sections 362.1010 – 362.1117 - Missouri Family Trust Company Act
Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI) assume this bill transfers 
oversight of Family Trusts and Foreign Family Trusts from the Missouri Secretary of State’s 
Office to the DCI's Division of Finance (DOF).
Sections 362.1010-362.1117 assign oversight of Family Trust and Foreign Family Trusts to the 
Director or Designee of DOF. This would include registration of new trusts and annual renewal 
of existing trusts. According to the Secretary of State, there are currently three active Trusts in 
Missouri. Since those trusts will not be required to submit an initial application, DOF assumes 
that only an annual registration report accompanied by a $1,000 filing fee would be collected 
from each of these trusts, resulting in an income of $3,000 annually. This funding would be used 
to provide oversight of Family and Foreign Family Trusts in Missouri. DOF does not anticipate 
any new trusts filings. The net fiscal impact for this section would be $0.
The Director of DOF or Designee may perform examinations and investigate allegations of 
violations of these sections and may charge the trust company for salary and expenses of the 
examiner or investigator. Since the amount charged would be limited to actual expenses, this 
section’s fiscal impact would net to $0.
The Director may impose penalties and late fees and suspend registrations of a trust for failure to 
submit a timely registration report. Reinstatement of a trust would occur by submission of the 
annual registration report, a late fee, and any penalty imposed by the Director. DOF does not 
anticipate any reports will be submitted late, resulting in fiscal impact for this section as $0.
The Director shall issue a fee schedule based on the time and resources required to issue certified 
copies of documents as prescribed in Section 362.110. The section’s fiscal impact would net to 
$0.
All fees and penalties would be deposited to the Family Trust Company Fund (0810) and 
expenses relating to oversight of these companies would be paid from this fund via a transfer to 
the Division of Finance Fund (0550). Therefore, DOF assumes the net impact of this proposal is 
$0.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero 
impact in the fiscal note.   L.R. No. 5286H.07T

KC:LR:OD
Oversight assumes the Office of the Secretary of State could have a potential minor savings 
from the transfers of oversight of the Family Trusts and Foreign Family Trusts from the Missouri 
Secretary of State’s Office to the DCI's Division of Finance (DOF).  Oversight assumes the fiscal 
impact would ultimately net to $0 or be immaterial and therefore will not reflect a fiscal impact 
on the fiscal note.
Section 374.192 
Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI) assume the costs of 
provision can be absorbed within their current appropriations. However, should the cost be more 
than anticipated, the department would request an increase in FTE and/or appropriations as 
appropriate through the budget process.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero 
impact in the fiscal note for this provision.  
Section 427.300 – Financial Disclosure Law
Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance (DCI) state there are very few 
companies that provide the types of commercial financing products described in this section, 
though the Division of Finance (DOF) does not have an exact number. When California passed 
something similar, they had two companies; DOF assumes Missouri will have less than five. The 
initial registration would be set at $100 each, so up to $500 total revenue in the first year. If all of 
the companies renewed annually, at $50 each, subsequent years' revenue would be $250. The 
registration process is not work-intensive and would cost about $36.53 to process (½ hour for an 
AOSA @$19.91/hour + ½ hour for an Examiner @ $53.15/hour = $36.53). For five registrations, 
each year would cost $182.61. Since there is no review of enforcement authority granted in the 
language, that is the extent of the fiscal impact.
 FY 2024 FY 2025 FY 2026
Revenue $0-$500 $0-$250 $0-250
Expense ($183-$0) ($186-$0) ($190-$0)
Net Effect $0-$317 $0-$64 $0-$60
Oversight assumes these amounts are not material and will not reflect them in the fiscal note.
Oversight notes §427.300.6 requires that any person who violates this section shall be punished 
by a fine of $500 per incident, not to exceed $20,000 for all aggregated violations.  Any person 
who violates this section after receiving written notice of prior violation from the AGO shall be 
punished by a fine of $1,000 per incident, not to exceed $50,000 for all aggregated violations.  
Oversight will assume any potential fine revenue generated from this subsection will be 
distributed to local school districts instead of being credited to the state’s Merchandising 
Practices Revolving Fund.  For simplicity, Oversight will reflect a $0 or Unknown amount of 
fine revenue received by school districts.  Oversight notes these amount may act as a deduction  L.R. No. 5286H.07T

in the following year school funding formula; however, Oversight will simply reflect a possible 
positive impact to schools from the fine revenue.

Rule Promulgation
Officials from the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules assume this proposal is not 
anticipated to cause a fiscal impact beyond its current appropriation. 
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  L.R. No. 5286H.07T

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 schools and retirement systems 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.

KC:LR:OD
If a receiver continues policies of life or health insurance or annuities issued by an insolvent 
insurer, and the policies are not covered in whole or in part by a guaranty association, the 
receiver may elect to assume the liquidated insurer's rights and obligations under reinsurance 
contracts relating to the policies or annuities within 180 days of the order of liquidation as 
specified in the act, provided the contracts have not been terminated. In this event, premiums for 
the applicable reinsurance shall be chargeable against the estate of the insolvent insurer. (Section 
375.1183.4).
Between the order of liquidation and the time a guaranty association elects to assume the 
insolvent insurer's rights and obligations under a reinsurance contract as specified in the act, a 
guaranty association, receiver, or reinsurer shall not have any right or obligation under any 
reinsurance contract eligible for assumption under the act. (Section 375.1183.5).

procedures specified in the act. (Section 375.1183.6).

annuities, are transferred to an assuming insurer, associated reinsurance may be transferred to the 
assuming insurer as well, subject to certain limitations specified in the act. (Section 375.1183.7).

and Liquidation Act, the reinsurer and the receiver shall commence mandatory negotiation and 
arbitration procedures laid out in the act. (Section 375.1183.9).
This act shall be construed consistent with the existing power of the Missouri Life and Health 
Insurance Guaranty Association to assume the rights of insolvent insurers under reinsurance 
contracts. (Section 375.1183.11).
ASSIGNMENT OF INSURANCE BENEFITS (Section 376.427)
This act subjects certain payments to health care providers to the prompt pay statute, and

effective date of January 1, 2026 to be subject to such provisions".
METHODS OF REIMBURSEMENT TO HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS (Section 376.1345)
Currently, if a health carrier initiates or changes the method used to reimburse a health care 
provider to a method that requires the provider to pay a fee or remit some other form of 
remuneration, the carrier must notify the provider of the cost, provide clear instructions as to 
how to select an alternative payment method, and use that alternative method if requested by the 
provider. This act requires the health carrier or entity acting on its behalf to first receive approval 
from the health care provider before reimbursing the health care provider with such payment 
method. If a health carrier is currently reimbursing a health care provider with a payment  L.R. No. 5286H.07T

method, the health care provider can send one notice to the health carrier for all the health care 
provider's patients covered by such health carrier stating that the health care provider declines to 
be reimbursed with a payment method. The notice will remain in effect for the duration of the 
contract unless the health care provider requests otherwise. All payments made by the health 
carrier to the health care provider after receipt of the notice declining to be reimbursed with a 
payment method cannot require the health care provider to pay a fee, discount the amount of the 
provider's claim for reimbursement, or remit any other form of remuneration in order to redeem 
the amount of the provider's claim for reimbursement.

Insurance over Missouri mutual insurance companies, and the provisions of that chapter shall not 
be waived, provided that certain provisions pertaining to premium taxation and insurance 
holding companies shall still apply as described in the act. The act voids agreements between the 
Department and mutual insurers as to additional Department authority, but benefits, allowances, 
and concessions granted to the insurers shall remain in effect for the duration of the agreements.
The act further enacts provisions relating to reinsurance requirements and corresponding filings 
with the Department, Department review of proposed mergers between mutual insurance 
companies, and examinations of mutual insurance companies by the Department.
Lastly, the act describes when a mutual insurance company is considered "insolvent", and 
specifies that mutual insurance companies shall be subject to the Insurers Supervision, 
Rehabilitation, and Liquidation Act with the exception of certain provisions, and shall be subject 
to other provisions pertaining to the commencement of court proceedings by the Director of the 
Department of Commerce and Insurance.
REAL ESTATE LOANS - AGRICULTURE ACTIVITY (Section 408.035)
Current law prohibits parties from agreeing in writing to any rate of interest, fees, and other

be immune and exempt from attachment during the life of the surviving settlor to the extent that 
the property was held in a qualified spousal trust prior to the death of the first settlor and remains 
in a qualified spousal trust. Furthermore, property may be held in or transferred to a settlor's joint 
or separate share of a trust by designation under the current trust terms, pursuant to the specified 
titling of property or other designation that refers to such joint or separate share, or designation 
to the trustee as the owner as provided in current law.

require additional capital improvements or rental space.
