FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§§301.020 & 307.350 – Motor Vehicle Inspections
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assumed the following regarding these
sections of proposal:
Administrative Impact
To implement the proposed language the Department will be required to:
• Update procedures, manuals, public correspondence, and website materials
• Update department systems to incorporate changed registration requirements
• Train current employees
FY 2026 – Systems Analysis & Support
Associate Research/Data Analyst 254 hrs. @ $26.03/hr. =$6,612
Research/Data Analyst 64 hrs. @ $27.87/hr. =$1,784
Administrative Manager 32 hrs. @ $35.10/hr. =$1,123
FY 2026 – Strategy & Communications Office
Associate Research/Data Analyst 80 hrs. @ $26.03/hr. =$2,082
Research/Data Analyst 60 hrs. @ $27.87/hr. =$1,672
Total = $13,273
The Department anticipates that they will be able to absorb these costs and that there will be
minimal impact. If multiple bills are passed that require Department resources, FTE may be
requested through the appropriations process.
FUSION Impact
Implementation: 10 hrs. @$225/hr. = $2,250
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. L.R. No. 2064H.02P

§§301.190 & 307.380 – Motor Vehicle Inspections
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the following regarding these
subsections of the proposal:
The provisions added to this bill in Section 307.380, specifically the requirement to bring in the
safety inspection at the time of registration when required by this section, conflicts with the
safety inspection requirements found in the introduced bill. Additional system and administrative
costs could apply. Until this is fixed, the additional costs, if applicable is unknown.
Administrative Impact
To implement the proposed language the Department will be required to:
• Update procedures, manuals, public correspondence, and website materials.
• Train current employees.
FY2026 – Strategy & Communications Office
Associate Research/Data Analyst 40 hrs. @ $26.03/hr. =$1,041
Research/Data Analyst 40 hrs. @ $27.87/hr. =$1,115
Total = $2,156
The Department anticipates that they will be able to absorb these costs and that there will be
Minimal Impact. If multiple bills are passed that require Department resources, FTE may be
requested through the appropriations process.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero
impact in the fiscal note.
The fiscal impact estimated above is based on changes in the current Department's Motor
Vehicle system environment. The implementation of this legislation will be coordinated with the
integration of the Department's Motor Vehicle and Driver Licensing system approved and passed
by the General Assembly in 2020 (SB 176). To avoid duplicative technology development and
associated costs to the state, it is recommended a delayed effective date be added to this bill to
correlate with the installation of the new system.
DOR notes OA-ITSD services will be required at a cost of $70,873 in FY 2026 (674.98 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. L.R. No. 2064H.02P

Officials from the Missouri Highway Patrol (MHP) assume the following regarding this
proposal:
For each safety inspection performed, one dollar is deposited into the Highway Fund (0644) and
fifty cents is deposited into the Highway Patrol Inspection Fund (0297), which would be reduced
with this proposed legislation.
This bill removes the requirement for vehicles over 10 years old to be safety inspected prior to
registration unless there is an odometer reading of 150,000 or more. Starting with model year
2012 vehicles, the vehicle will only require a safety inspection after reaching 150,000 miles.
Each year of registration renewals, starting August 28, 2025, a particular group of vehicles will
be exempted from the safety inspection process, which would have been required to be inspected
under current law. Each year will add a group of vehicles to that list of exempted vehicles. Every
two years, a new group will be added while simultaneously subtracting a percentage of vehicles
based on mileage accrued in that year. The projected fiscal impact will have many variables and
unknowns.
The methodology used for the calculations are as follows:
a. Sample data from the Department of Revenue was used to estimate the number of
registrations for a given model year (2011) vehicle. The data indicated that 120,000 was a
reasonable base number and this model year is the most comparable year for accurate
comparison.
b. Inspection data was utilized to determine that 60% of 2011 model year vehicles inspected in
2023 were under 150,000 miles. 72,000 will be the base number used for estimating newly
annual-exempted vehicles.
c. Each cycle of the biennial inspection would add a percentage of vehicles that were previously
exempted by mileage (under 150,000), but are now not exempted. This rate is estimated at
62% of the base number, so that would be added each cycle. On the third cycle, it is assumed
20% of the base can be reasonably added.
d. Under current law, the safety inspection for registration is only applicable if the vehicle year
and the registration year are even/even or odd/odd and will split the amount of vehicles being
added as exemptions at the calendar year mark.
e. The above-referenced projections were utilized to project “exemptions added” by this bill,
which would begin on August 28, 2025. This will involve 2015 model vehicle exemptions
until December 31, then 2012 and 2014 model vehicle exemptions for 2026 calendar year.
1. Base annual accrual: 120,000 x 0.60 = 72,000
2. FY 2026: August 28 - December 31, 2025
72,000 x 0.33 = 23,760 will use 24,000 +
January 1 - June 30 (72,000 + 44,600) 116,600 will use 116,000 x.5 = 58,000 = L.R. No. 2064H.02P

24,000 + 58,000 = 82,000 total estimated exemptions FY 2026
3. FY 2027: will exempt 2 models for the entire FY, 72,000 + 44,000 = 116,000 total estimated
exemptions FY 2027
4. FY 2028: will exempt 2 models 1st half 116,000 x .5 = 58,000 +
will exempt 3 models 2nd half (2012, 2014, 2016)
(base annual accrual x 0.20) + (0.62 x 72,000) + 72,000 = 14,400 + 44,640 + 72,000 = 131,040 x
.5 = 65,520 (using 65,000)
58,000 + 65,000 = 123,000 total exemptions
5. FY 2029: will exempt 3 models entire FY, 65,000 x 2 = 130,000
6. FY 2030: unknown but will use 131,000 as an estimate, assuming remaining vehicles in model
year are either out of operation, not going to reach 150,000
miles etc.
Oversight does not have information to the contrary; however, Oversight assumes there are too
many variables to accurately estimate a specific fiscal impact. Therefore, Oversight will reflect
an “Unknown, less than $250,000” loss to the Highway Fund and the Highway Patrol Inspection
Fund for each fiscal year.
Officials from the Missouri Department of Transportation assume the proposal will have no
fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary.
Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note.
§301.448 – Military Specialty Plates (HA 2)
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the following regarding this
proposal:

To implement the proposed legislation, the Department will be required to:
• Update charts, procedures and the Department website
• Update the Application for Missouri Personalized and Special License Plate (DOR-1716 and
DOR-4601)

Commission assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight

§32.056 – Confidential Driver Records (HA 3)
Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume the following regarding this
proposal:
Proposed language expands the persons eligible to request to have their driver and motor vehicle
records marked to prohibit release of personal information to include active and retired persons
in eligible occupations and such person’s immediate family members.
Administrative Impact
The proposed change will require a modification to the current request form and related policies
and procedures for processing such requests. This change will not require any system
modifications in the current driver license system environment.
