FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§173.1352 – Undergraduate course credits for students who score 4 or higher on international
baccalaureate exams
Officials from the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development,
University of Missouri System, Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and
the University of Central Missouri 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.
In response to similar legislation, HB 2051 (2024), officials from Northwest Missouri State
University assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective organization.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions;
however, other colleges and universities 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.
