However, the AGO may seek additional appropriations if the proposal results in a significant increase in litigation or investigation. 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. Officials from the Department of Commerce and Insurance, the Missouri Department of Transportation, the Office of Administration, and the Office of the State Courts Administrator each assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations. Oversight notes that the above-mentioned agencies have stated the proposal would not have a direct fiscal impact on their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact on the fiscal note. FISCAL IMPACT – State GovernmentFY 2026 (10 Mo.) FY 2027FY 2028$0$0$0FISCAL IMPACT – Local GovernmentFY 2026 (10 Mo.)
