FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§§455.010, 455.035, and 455.513 – Court proceedings involving juveniles
Officials from the Clay County Auditor estimate this proposal will cost their county
approximately $5,000 per year due to the increase in age for appointing a Guardian ad Litem
from 17 to 18 years of age (§455.035.3).
Oversight has no information to the contrary. However, Oversight assumes Clay County will be
able to absorb the minimal cost associated with this proposal and will present no fiscal impact for
this organization.

however, various county officials 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.
