FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education assume the proposal
will have no fiscal impact on their organization. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact
in the fiscal note for this agency.
Officials from the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations assume the Human Rights
Commission (MCHR) could absorb the increase in complaints with existing resources. However,
if the number of additional cases was significant or additional legislation was enacted which
increased other types of MCHR complaints, the impact could be substantial enough that the
MCHR could not absorb additional work without additional resources and would request such
through the appropriations process.
Oversight assumes DOLIR-MCHR is provided with core funding to handle a certain amount of
activity each year. Oversight assumes DOLIR could absorb the costs related to this proposal. If
multiple bills pass which require additional staffing and duties at substantial costs, DOLIR could
request funding through the appropriation process.
Officials from the Office of Attorney General (AGO)
arising from this proposal can be absorbed with existing personnel and resources. However, the
AGO may seek additional appropriations if there is a significant increase in litigation.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight assumes the
AGO will be able to perform any additional duties required by this proposal with current staff
and resources and will reflect no fiscal impact to the AGO for fiscal note purposes.
In response similar legislation, HB 1900 (2024), officials from the King City R-1 School
District and both assumed the proposal will have no fiscal impact
on their organization.
In response to a similar proposal, HB 361 (2023), officials from the Gordon Parks Elementary
Charter School assumed the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization.
In response to a similar proposal, HB 503 (2021), officials from the High Point R-III School
District assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their organization. L.R. No. 1159H.01I

Oversight does not anticipate a fiscal impact to school districts; however, Oversight received a
limited number of responses from school districts related to the fiscal impact of this proposal.
Oversight has presented this fiscal note on the best current information available. Upon the
receipt of additional 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. Oversight only
reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions; however, other
school districts 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.
