FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Oversight was unable to receive some of the agency responses in a timely manner due to the 
short fiscal note request time. Oversight has presented this fiscal note on the best current 
information that we have or on prior year information regarding a similar bill. Upon the receipt 
of agency responses, Oversight will review to determine if an updated fiscal note should be 
prepared and seek the necessary approval to publish a new fiscal note.
§42.022 – Missouri Veterans Commission
In response to a similar proposal from 2024 (SCS for SB 734), officials from the Department of 
Public Safety - Missouri Veterans Commission (MVC) stated for the suicide awareness 
program, the MVC is already appropriated an increase of $80K per year for salary and $40K per 
year for operations of a Veteran Suicide Awareness and prevention coordinator. That is what 
MVC determined to be the fiscal impact previously, but given that this is already appropriated 
and currently not being spent, the MVC sees no further fiscal impact. At the present time, the 
MVC has not filled this position because of cash flow concerns of the funding source (VCCITF 
Fund 0304). The Commission is concerned that distributions from the fund may be more than 
appropriations.
Oversight notes per the MVC, in the FY 2024 budget, MVC requested and received an 
appropriation of $120,000 ($80,000 PS; $40,000 E&E) for a prevention coordinator and the 
operation of a Veteran Suicide Awareness program. This was a new program within MVC, 
designed to oversee the statewide policy development, implementation, and operation of Veteran 
Suicide prevention, awareness, and education. The program includes coordinating with the 
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), state agencies and community programs to ensure the 
stakeholders have access to timely, quality services. The FTE will administer national grants and 
represent the MVC as a subject matter expert on a national platform to inform program policy. 
The program will utilize data analysis to develop strategies to decrease Veteran suicide in this 
state.
Per discussion with MVC officials, it is assumed the funding for the program authorized last year 
will cover any fiscal impact the provisions of this proposal may have on the MVC.  Therefore, 
Oversight will not reflect an additional fiscal impact from this proposal. L.R. No. 3361S.06P

§42.051 – Military Service Question On All State Agency Forms
In response to a similar proposal from 2024 (SCS for SB 734), officials from the Department of 
Labor and Industrial Relations (DOLIR) stated the current statute applies to forms “used to 
collect data from individuals.” The proposed legislation expands the application of §42.051.1 to 
forms “used to interact with members of the public.” In FY 2023, LIRC (Labor and Industrial 
Relations Commission) received 2,431 requests for review (2,288 unemployment, 125 workers’ 
compensation, 2 Tort Victims’ Compensation Fund). 
LIRC also responded to approximately 141 requests for the appellate court’s Form 8-B by 
providing the form and an LIRC informational cover sheet. Individuals wishing to appeal their 
unemployment case to the appellate court return the Form 8-B to LIRC for processing.
To the extent the proposed legislation applies to requests for administrative review by LIRC, 
LIRC’s informational cover sheets, and the recently enacted postsecondary reports and claims, 
the proposed legislation would require additional clerical work to process and manage responses 
to at least 2,500 documents each year. Based on 260 workdays in a year, an additional 0.50 
clerical FTE will be required to process and manage the additional information required by the 
proposed legislation.
Clerical
$88,745 annual salary plus fringe
$53,287 annual salary (current LIRC clerical salary)
$35,458 annual fringe (est. from HR Director)
$3,524.50 space/annual rent (est. from General Services 475 @$7.42)
$2,300 equipment (est. from recently purchased equipment for LIRC staff)
___________________
$94,569.50 Total Clerical x 0.50 = $47,284.75
Total estimated annual cost: $94,569.50 x 0.50 = $47,284.75
DWC (Division of Workers’ Compensation):
DWC has approximately 100 Forms that would require updating through DOLIR’s 
Communications Unit. During DOLIR’s modernization, those Forms will transition to Web 
Forms in the new WC System, WCConnect. Digital forms are included and will be developed. 
There could be a change request filed by the contractor if unable to include this change in current 
requirements. 1 FTE required (Program Assistant).
SB 734 would require that DOLIR include 3 questions regarding military service on "any form, 
including digital forms posted on an internet website" per §42.051 in the bill. Should the 
individual answering the questions indicate they desire information regarding veteran's benefits, 
the DOLIR must provide it to them. If the individual should authorize the DOLIR to do so, it 
shall also share the individual's contact information with the Missouri Veteran's Commission.  L.R. No. 3361S.06P 
Bill No. Perfected SS for SCS for SB 912  
Page 5 of 
March 13, 2024
KB:LR:OD
This must be done within 7 business days of receipt in a format the Commission is able to 
receive. An interface between the Missouri Veteran's Commission and DOLIR would need to be 
created, resulting in IT costs related to modifying UInteract.
The ITSD cost estimates to create an interface between the Veterans Commission and DOLIR 
would be $109,375.
Oversight has no information to the contrary. Oversight assumes the DOLIR will not hire 0.5 
FTE and that current staff will absorb the additional duties. Oversight will present the one-time 
ITSD fiscal impact of $109,375 as provided by DOLIR as costs to General Revenue.
In response to a similar proposal from 2024 (SCS for SB 734), officials from the Office of 
Administration (OA) stated § 42.051. 1. provides that every state agency shall [ensure that] 
include on any form, including digital forms posted on an internet website, used to [collect data 
from individuals include] interact with members of the public the following questions in 
substantially similar form: (1) Have you ever served on active duty in the Armed Forces of the 
United States and separated from such service under conditions other than dishonorable? (2) If 
answering question (1) in the affirmative, would you like to receive information and assistance 
regarding [the agency's] veteran benefits and services? 3 2. Every state agency shall provide the 
contact information of those individuals who answer question (3) in subsection 1 of this section 
in the affirmative to the commission within seven business days of receipt and shall provide the 
contact information in a format readily accessible by the commission. 3. Every state agency shall 
prepare information regarding the agency's applicable services and benefits that are available to 
veterans and provide such information to those individuals who answer [the] questions (1) and 
(2) provided in subsection 1 of this section in the affirmative and to the commission. Such 
information shall be available in a format readily accessible and identifiable to members of the 
public and to the commission. 4. On January first of every year, the commission shall post a 
report on the commission's website that includes: (1) The total number of individuals whose 
contact information has been submitted to the commission from each state agency pursuant to 
subsection 2 of this section; and (2) The total number of individuals contacted by the 
commission as a result of the submission of contact information by a state agency. [3.] 5. The 
provisions of subsection 1 of this section shall only apply to any form first created on or after 
August 28, [2021] 2024, or any form created before August (3) If answering question (2) in the 
affirmative, may the agency share your contact information with the Missouri Veterans 
Commission in order to provide you with information regarding available veterans benefits and 
services? General information may also be found on the Missouri Veterans Commission's 
website. 4 28, [2021] 2024, and subsequently modified on or after August 28, [2021] 2024.
For the Division of Personnel (DP) to comply with the proposed legislation, the DP would need 
to update all forms, including digital, to include the revisions as requested. The DP would also 
need to make updates to the MoCareers, the State's centralized application platform, to include 
the revisions. The Division of Personnel would also have to add additional staff time to comply 
with providing the requested information within the time frame listed.  L.R. No. 3361S.06P 
Bill No. Perfected SS for SCS for SB 912  
Page 6 of 
March 13, 2024
KB:LR:OD
DP staff would need 5 hours to complete the updates, and an additional 6.5 hours yearly to 
complete the report for the requested information.
The fiscal impact of this bill is determined by the total number of hours estimated (11.5 hours) 
multiplied by the average salary of Division of Personnel team members ($34.16). Therefore, the 
total fiscal impact would be $393.
The General Services Division (GS) state §42.051.1 of the legislation requires all public 
interacting forms to be updated with Veterans questions. This change would require changes to 
LEF (Legal Expense Fund) forms to be completed by OA-GS. General Services assumes that 
these changes would take approximately 10 hours of OA/GS staff time. 
The average hourly rate for General Services’ employees likely to devote time to these changes 
is $22.95 per hour based on an average of $47,728 annually. Therefore, this would result in an 
estimated cost of $230.
Oversight has no information to the contrary. Oversight assumes the OA will be able to absorb 
the minimal fiscal impact of this proposal ($393 + $230 = $623) with existing resources and will 
present no fiscal impact for this proposal OA.
§42.312 – Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Freedom’s Sentinel and Operation Allies 
Refuge Program
In response to a similar proposal from 2024 (SCS for SB 734), officials from the Missouri 
National Guard (MONG) estimated there are 73,000 veterans eligible to receive this award. HB 
1496 will have an approximate $1,000 - $1,095,000 fiscal impact to the Veterans Recognition 
program, which is funded by the Veterans Commission Capital Improvement Trust Fund (0304). 
The wide range of estimated fiscal impact is due to the uncertainty of how many veterans will 
apply and be approved for the award. The estimated cost per award (medal, medallion, and 
certificate), including postage, is $15. The total estimated cost would be an accumulated cost, 
spanning future fiscal years over the life of the program.
There are several other programs currently in place to recognize veterans of previous conflicts. A 
summary of program activity is contained in the table below: L.R. No. 3361S.06P 
Bill No. Perfected SS for SCS for SB 912

KB:LR:OD
Oversight contacted the MNG to inquire how many personnel deployed to Operation Enduring 
Freedom, Operation Freedom’s Sentinel, and Operation Allies Refuge Program. However, 
Oversight did not receive that information. Therefore, using MNG’s estimate of 73,000 current 
Missouri veterans, Oversight will assume approximately 40 percent of those served during this 
timeframe (10/7/2001 – 8/30/2021). Oversight also assumes approximately half or 14,600 
(73,000 * 0.40 * 50%) service members and registered veterans will apply for the medal.  14,600 
x $15 = $219,000
Based on the implementation of other similar programs, Oversight will reflect this cost spread 
over three years ($219,000 / 3 = $73,000) of the fiscal note to the Veterans Commission Capital 
Improvement Trust Fund. Oversight notes the ending balance in the Veterans Commission 
Capital Improvement Trust Fund (0304) as of February 27, 20243, is $25,909,949.
§227.854 - POW/MIA SSG Paul Hasenbeck Memorial Highway
In response to a similar proposal from 2024 (HB 1908), officials from the Missouri Department 
of Transportation (MoDOT) stated HB 1908 is estimated to have a total negative impact on the 
State Road Fund of $4,000.  This would be a one-time expense as the language requires MoDOT 
to fund this designation with no costs for sign fabrication and installation recouped through the 
participation fee.  The estimated cost is $2,000 per sign, with 2 total signs for this designation.
Oversight has no information to the contrary.  Therefore, Oversight will present the fiscal 
impact of this proposal as provided by MoDOT.
§§301.142, 301.3030 & 301.3180 – Disabled Persons/Military License Plates
In response to a previous version, officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assumed 
the following regarding this proposal:
Administrative Impact
In order to implement the proposed changes, the Department will be required to: L.R. No. 3361S.06P

KB:LR:OD
• Update procedures, manuals, Department website, and correspondence letters;
• Design/Create specialty plate;
• Programming and user acceptance testing;
• Updates to forms; and
• Train staff.
There is a $125 design fee and an additional $45 fee when creating a new plate design.
FY 2025 – Motor Vehicle Bureau
Associate Research/Data Analyst 281 hrs. @ $25.22/hr. = $7,087
Research/Data Analyst 70 hrs. @ $27.00/hr. = $1,890
Administrative Manager 35 hrs. @ $29.31/hr. = $1,026
FY 2026 – MVB Systems Analysis Support
Associate Research/Data Analyst 281 hrs. @ $21.64/hr. = $6,081
Research/Data Analyst 70 hrs. @ $27.00/hr. = $1,890
Administrative Manager 35 hrs. @ $29.31/hr. = $1,026
FY 2026 – Strategy and Communications Office
Associate Research/Data Analyst 70 hrs. @ $21.64/hr. = $1,515
Administrative Manager 20 hrs. @ $29.31/hr. = $586
Total Cost = $21,101
Oversight assumes DOR will use existing staff and will not hire additional FTE to conduct these 
activities; therefore, Oversight will not reflect the administrative costs DOR has indicated on the 
fiscal note.
DOR notes, in equalizing the workload, DOR will start to see a cost savings of $115,941 
beginning in the fifth year from disabled placards being renewed every 8 years instead of 4. The 
cost savings will be in inventory and postage at $1.23 per placard.
Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, will reflect the cost savings 
indicated by DOR starting in FY 2029.
DOR notes OA-ITSD services will be required at a cost of $78,497 in FY 2025 (747.59 hours x 
$105 per hour).
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary in regards to DOR’s assumptions; 
therefore, Oversight will reflect DOR’s OA-ITSD costs on the fiscal note.
Fusion Impact
DOR also noted costs for an implementation consultant $250/hour x 100 hours = $25,000 L.R. No. 3361S.06P

The costs associated with these legislative changes may be outside of the current contract and 
identified programming work for the incoming integrated system. As such, the department has 
included the potential costs associated with making the changes to the integrated system by the 
department’s current vendor.
Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect the 
implementation consultant costs as provided by DOR.
Revenue Impact – Section 301.3030
DOR notes the following:
FY 2022 1,648 military plates were reserved that had a fee of $15 per reservation.
Loss of $24,720
FY 2023 1,805 military plates were reserved that had a fee of $15 per reservation.
Loss of $27,075
On average 1,726 plates of the type are reserved that is an estimated $25,890 loss each year.
This is just for the initial application for the last two fiscal years.
Currently there are 11,972 plates involving military actions or personnel that are registered. The 
customer pays $15 a year for personalization fees.
Of those 2,210 are currently registered for one year, which is a $33,150 loss to the department.
9,762 are currently registered for two years, which is a $292,860 loss to the department.
Total loss is estimated to be $351,900
DOR notes, with their current system, they are unable to determine if someone has more than 
one set of special plates; however, they estimate that this occurrence would be minimal.
Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect the 
estimates as “Up to…” the amounts provided by DOR.  Oversight will reflect the $292,860 loss 
from military plates that are registered for two years as half that amount ($146,430) per year as if 
they were registered for one year for a more accurate estimate.  Therefore, the total loss to DOR 
will be “Up to $205,470” ($25,890 + $33,150 + $292,860/2) per year.
In response to a previous version, officials from the Missouri National Guard and Missouri 
Veterans Commission each assumed the proposal would 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.   L.R. No. 3361S.06P

§§301.3061 – Missouri Disabled American Veterans License Plates
In response to a previous version, officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assumed 
the following regarding this proposal:
Administrative Impact
It is assumed that by removing the layout restrictions that the Disabled Veterans organization 
will redesign the plate.
The release of the new plate will start with the sale of the new plate to new customers and allow 
current Disabled Vets the ability to surrender old configuration for the new one.
To implement the proposed changes, the DOR will be required to:
• Update procedures, correspondence letters, forms, and the Department website;
• Update the Missouri Titling manual;
• Send communications to stakeholders as applicable; and
• Train Staff.
FY 2025 – Motor Vehicle Bureau
Lead Administrative Support Assistant 10 hrs. @ 18.54 per hr. = $185
Research/Data Assistant 60 hrs. @ $27.00 per hr. = $1,620
Administrative Manager 20 hrs. @ $29.31 per hr. = $586
FY 2025 – Strategy and Communications Office
Associate Research/Data Analyst 30 hrs. @ $21.64 per hr. = $649
Total Costs = $3,040
The DOR anticipates that it will be able to absorb these costs. If multiple bills are passed that 
require Department resources, FTE may be requested through the appropriations process.
Oversight assumes DOR is provided with core funding to handle a certain amount of activity 
each year. Oversight assumes DOR could absorb the costs related to this proposal. If multiple 
bills pass which require additional staffing and duties at substantial costs, DOR could request 
funding through the appropriation process.
§302.188 – Required Documents for Veteran Designation on Licenses
Oversight assumes this section will have a minimal impact on the Department of Revenue; 
therefore, Oversight will not reflect a fiscal impact from this section. L.R. No. 3361S.06P

§442.560 – §442.571 – Foreign Ownership of Real Estate (Senate Amendment 1)
In response to a similar proposal from 2024 (SB 734), officials from the Missouri Department 
of Agriculture (MDA) stated this proposal would require 1 FTE for the first year with 
geographic information system (GIS) experience to map the state and create a database to 
determine proximity to military installations. It is assumed salary, fringe benefits and equipment 
and expenses would cost $106,528 for FY 2025. Once the state is mapped, this FTE would no 
longer be necessary but there would be on-going expenses of approximately $5,300 annually to 
update information.
Oversight assumes the new 500 mile restriction (as opposed to the 50 mile restriction in SB 734) 
would encompass the entire state; in effect restricting aliens or foreign businesses from owning 
agricultural land. Therefore, Oversight assumes the MDA will not require an additional FTE.  
For fiscal note purposes, Oversight assumes the provisions of this section will have no fiscal 
impact on state government. 
§§143.174 & 143.175 – Income Tax Deduction for Members of the Armed Forces (Senate 
Amendment 2)
In response to a similar proposal from 2024 (SCS for SB 734), officials from the Department of 
Revenue (DOR) noted members of the military can deduct 100% of the income they receive as 
salary or compensation if that income is taxable at the federal level from the calculation of their 
Missouri adjusted gross income. This is the military income deduction. Additionally, they can 
receive the deduction for income received from certain training programs. This proposal is 
adding to this Missouri military income deduction income they receive from signing bonuses.  
The Department found that the military does issue signing bonuses to soldiers based on their 
branch of service, length of enlistment and specific job specialties. The more specialized the job, 
the more likely to be issued a signing bonus. The DOR also found that signing bonuses are often 
paid out over a number of years rather than a single lump sum.
The federal government designates certain military pay and benefits as taxable. Information 
found by the Department indicates that all income received by members of the military serving 
in a combat zone is tax free at the federal level, which includes their signing bonuses.  
Additionally, depending on their rank a portion of non-combat pay may be tax exempt.  
The Department notes that while Missouri is home to Whiteman Air Force Base, Fort Leonard 
Wood, and Fort Crowder, DOR is unable to determine how many of the soldiers stationed there 
are eligible for signing bonuses. DOR is also not able to determine how many of them actually 
file returns as a Missouri resident. L.R. No. 3361S.06P 
Bill No. Perfected SS for SCS for SB 912

March 13, 2024
KB:LR:OD
The Department is unable to locate any single source that can show how much is paid to soldiers 
filing Missouri individual income tax returns and the amount of signing bonuses they receive that 
would be taxable. DOR assumes that should a soldier filing a Missouri return receive a taxable 
signing bonus, they would qualify for this deduction and that income would be excluded from 
tax per this proposal. DOR notes this proposal could result in an unknown loss to general 
revenue but assumes it would be minimal. 
In response to a similar proposal from 2024 (SCS for SB 734), officials from the Office of 
Administration (OA) - Budget and Planning (B&P) stated §§173.174 and 173.175 clarifies 
that military signing/reenlistment bonuses are to be included within the definition of 
"compensation" for both active duty, reserve, and National Guard income tax exemptions. Based 
on information from the Department of Revenue, such bonuses should already be included under 
the existing income tax deductions.
If this proposal extends the deductions to additional bonuses not already excluded, this proposal 
could result in an unknown, likely minimal loss to TSR and GR.
Oversight has no information to the contrary. For fiscal note purposes, Oversight will present an 
unknown loss to General Revenue for potential additional military signing bonus income tax 
deductions. Based on B&P and DOR responses, Oversight assumes the fiscal impact will be less 
than $250,000 annually.
Bill as a Whole
In response to a similar proposal from 2024 (SCS for SB 734), officials from the Department of 
Commerce and Insurance (DCI) stated the department believes the costs of this bill can be 
absorbed within its current appropriations. However, should the cost be more than anticipated, 
the DCI would request an increase to its FTE and/or appropriations as appropriate through the 
budget process.
Oversight has no information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will present no fiscal impact 
for this proposal as provided by the DCI.
In response to a similar proposal from 2024 (SCS for SB 734), officials from the Department of 
Corrections (DOC) deferred to the Office of Administration for response relating to the fiscal 
impact of this proposal on their organization for §42.051; all other sections have no fiscal impact 
on the DOC.

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 
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. L.R. No. 3361S.06P
