FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§407.932 – Tobacco products
House Amendment (HA) 1:
Oversight assumes HA 1 will have no fiscal impact as the amendment changes “minors” to
“individuals under twenty-one years of age”.
Officials from the Department of Mental Health, the Department of Revenue, the
Department of Public Safety – Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control, the City of Kansas
City and the each assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their
organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight
will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note.
In response to similar legislation, HB 2060 (2024), officials from Office of Administration -
Budget and Planning assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their organization.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions;
however, other cities and counties 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.
