FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§173.685 – STEM grant program for Access Missouri Financial Assistance Program award 
recipients
Officials from the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development (DHEWD) 
state this legislation would create a new statutory section (173.685) that would establish a 
“bonus” for undergraduate students that receive an Access Missouri Financial Assistance 
Program award and who are enrolled in certain fields of study identified in the bill as Science, 
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. Those fields are as follows.
• Agriculture and related sciences
• Computer science
• Information technology and information systems
• STEM-related education
• Engineering
• Biological and biomedical sciences
• Mathematics and statistics
• Physical sciences
In addition to receiving an Access Missouri award, individuals must maintain a minimum 
cumulative grade point average (2.5 on a 4 point scale) and otherwise maintain satisfactory 
progress as defined by the institution the individual is attending. Postsecondary institutional 
participation in the program parallels Access Missouri. The award can be renewed for five 
semesters at a two-year institution or ten semesters (or 15 quarters) at a four-year institution. The 
proposed program would sunset after six years unless reauthorized by the General Assembly.
The proposal establishes the maximum award amount, subject to appropriation, at $1,500. Based 
on the data available to DHEWD for the last two academic years, it is estimated that 19.7 percent 
of Access Missouri recipients are pursuing a postsecondary credential in one of the identified 
STEM program areas. Based on the number of Access Missouri recipients in the past three years 
(37,562), it is estimated that 7,400 (37,562 X 19.7%) individuals would be eligible for the STEM 
bonus award. It is assumed there will be little to no change in the number of Access Missouri 
recipients, or the percentage of recipients enrolled in eligible programs over the period of the 
fiscal note. The award amount is set at $1,500 a year, and section 2 limits the total award amount 
a student can receive at $6,000 (which is the equivalent of four academic years).
On that basis, for FY 2026, the cost to fully fund this proposal would be $11.1 million (7,400 X 
$1,500). Since the award amounts are subject to appropriation, the actual cost would be between 
zero and the amount identified above. Since the program is not dependent on tuition and fee 
changes, no inflationary increment is included, and the estimated amount would be constant 
across the years contained in this fiscal estimate. L.R. No. 0068H.06C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SB 150

In response to similar legislation, HB 168 (2025), DHEWD also stated no additional staff would 
be needed to implement this program and only relatively minor changes to the administrative 
system (FAMOUS) would be necessary, so no additional costs are included for those items.
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect 
DHEWD’s fiscal impact and range the impact to General Revenue from $0 to the amount 
provided as the program is subject to appropriation.
In response to similar legislation, HB 168 (2025), officials from the University of Missouri 
System assumed this legislation will have an unknown positive financial impact on the 
University of Missouri System due to the possibility of increased access to post-secondary 
education. 
In response to similar legislation, HB 168 (2025), officials from Southeast Missouri State 
University (SEMO) assumed there is a potential positive impact of an undetermined amount. 
Per data from the DHEWD, during the 2023-2024 academic year, there were nearly 1,800 
Access Missouri students at SEMO. The potential positive impact is based on the assumption 
that some of these students may benefit from the proposed program. 
In response to similar legislation HB 168 (2025), officials from the University of Central 
Missouri (UCM) assumed there is a $900,000 potential increase in revenue annually at UCM.
In response to similar legislation, HB 2313 (2024), officials from Northwest Missouri State 
University assumed the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Oversight assumes this program would 
have an unknown positive fiscal impact on Colleges and Universities as more students may 
attend college with this additional assistance. 
According to information available on DHEWD’s website, the average cost of tuition for a four-
year institution for Missouri residents for the 2024 - 2025 academic year is approximately 
$11,320.
One hundred additional students would account for approximately $1.1 million in additional 
tuition ($11,320 * 100 = $1,132,000).
§173.836 – Career-Tech Certificate Program
Officials from the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development state 
Section 173.836 creates the Career-Tech Certificate Program (CTC), which covers tuition and 
fees for students, who completed the requirements for A+ while in high school, and who attend a 
certificate program (currently not covered by A+).  It would also include students who earned the 
career and technical education (CTE) certificate while in high school; according to data from  L.R. No. 0068H.06C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SB 150  
Page 5 of 
April 17, 2025
GS:LR:OD
DESE, there are around 6,000 students annually who earn this certificate.
The department estimates that roughly 600 A+ eligible students would use this award annually. 
According to DESE data, there are, on average, 59,000 high school graduates each year, and that 
trend is anticipated to remain fairly steady for at least the next 10 years. Of those students, 80 
percent of them (47,200 students) will stay in the state, and 50 percent (23,600 students) will be 
A+ eligible. Additionally, around 2.5% of these students attend a technical postsecondary 
institution, which would leave around 600 A+ eligible students a year who might utilize this 
award.
Applying a similar methodology to CTE certificate graduates, around 80 percent (4,800 students) 
will stay in the state, and the department estimates that the utilization rate will be around 25 
percent, resulting in 960 students. Combined with the A+ students, this would result in 1,560 
students utilizing this program annually.
Because this legislation is limited to programs at two-year institutions and eligible training 
providers, but capped at the tuition rate of community colleges (based on service area), the 
department estimates that the tuition costs will be similar to the average Fast Track award 
amount at community colleges. As a result, the department estimates this will cost $3.75 million 
(1,560 students * $2,404 avg. award) for FY 2027.
Additionally, the CTC program will cover the costs of training programs up to 60 credit hours or 
the equivalent, which roughly equates to two academic years. The department estimates that 
about half of the students will complete programs within one academic year, but that the other 
half will need two years to complete, which will add an additional 780 students each year beyond 
FY 2027. The department also estimates the cost of books would be $500 a semester/term, which 
would equate to $1,000 an academic year. Additionally, ITSD estimates a fiscal impact for 
changes that would be needed to FAMOUS, which would be $147,420 in FY 2026, $30,221 in 
FY 2027 and $30,977 in FY 2028.
This program requires the DHEWD to review and authorize requests from private vocational or 
technical schools, virtual institutions, or eligible training providers, located within a community 
college service area, that offer the same or substantially similar program as that community 
college. This review and authorization process will require one additional FTE, at the assistant 
associate level, with an annual salary of $43,860. Additional costs include one-times costs, such 
as furniture and supplies ($3,331) and ITSD Equipment ($1,865.24, plus an additional monitor 
for $202.80), as well as ongoing expenses from ITSD ($4,494.74).
While the aforementioned costs are conservative estimates, the department is confident the fiscal 
impact of section 173.836 for FY 2026, in preparation for implementation, is between zero and 
$221,673, and for FY 2027 (first year of implementation) is between zero and $5.4 million. 
Assuming an annual inflationary increase of five percent per year for tuition, and including 
students who need more than one year to finish their programs, the impact for FY 2028 would 
range from zero to $8.3 million and for FY 2029 would range from zero to $8.6 million. L.R. No. 0068H.06C

Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Oversight notes the Career-Tech 
Certificate (CTC) program is subject to appropriations. If the expansion occurs but is not funded, 
the cost will be $0; however, the expanded CTC program could be funded any amount between 
$0 and the amount estimated by DHEWD (fully funded expansion).
In response to similar legislation HCS for HB 331 (2025), officials from the University of 
Central Missouri assume there is a potential increase in revenue but are unable to determine 
impact at UCM.
In response to a previous version, officials from Southeast Missouri State University assumed 
there is a potential negative impact of an undetermined amount on Southeast Missouri State 
University based on the assumption the program explicitly excludes public four-year institutions 
of higher education.
In response to similar legislation, HCS for HB 331 (2025), officials from the Northwest 
Missouri State University assumed the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their 
organization. 
In response to a previous version, officials from the University of Missouri assumed no fiscal 
impact from the proposal on their organization.
Oversight assumes this proposal may have a positive, but unknown fiscal impact to community 
colleges and technical schools. Therefore, for fiscal note purposes, Oversight will present a $0 to 
Unknown positive impact to Local Governments.
§173.1102, 173.1103, and 173.1105 - Minimum and maximum Access Missouri financial 
assistance awards
Officials from the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development assume 
this bill would modify Section 173.1105 and increase the maximum awards for Access Missouri 
recipients starting with the 2025-26 academic year. For those attending an institution in the 
public two-year sector, that maximum award amount would be $1,700 and the minimum would 
be $500; for those attending a public four-year institution (including State Technical College of 
Missouri), approved private institutions, or approved virtual institutions, that maximum amount 
would be $3,500 and the minimum would be $1,750.
All students with a Student Aid Index (SAI) of $12,000 or less will receive at least the minimum 
award, while maximum award amount for students with an SAI above $7,000 will be reduced by 
ten percent by SAI increment groups, which are set at $500 increments.
Using FY 2024 data (the most recent data available), and applying award levels by SAI 
increments groups for students with an SAI at or below $12,000, the DHEWD estimates this will 
cost an additional $12.7 million in FY 2026 above the current appropriation levels, impacting  L.R. No. 0068H.06C 
Bill No. HCS for SS for SB 150  
Page 7 of 
April 17, 2025
GS:LR:OD
over 35,000 students. Additionally, due to recent changes to the federal need methodology, 
which results in the SAI, there has been downward pressure on SAI levels, resulting in more 
students with lower SAIs, and therefore higher award amounts.
The DHEWD also estimates a two percent increase in participation each year. As a result, the 
department estimates these changes to cost between zero and $12.7 million in FY 2026, between 
zero and $13 million in FY 2027, and between zero and $13.3 million in FY 2028. No additional 
costs are needed for IT changes or additional staffing.
Oversight notes (from DHEWD’s 2025 budget request) the Access Missouri Financial 
Assistance Program is a need-based program designed to encourage low-income students to 
access and persist through higher education by reducing the cost of education. Within the pool of 
students determined to have financial need, award amounts are structured to provide the most 
assistance to the students with the greatest financial need. A student’s financial need, as 
represented by their expected family contribution (EFC), is calculated based on the standard 
federal needs analysis formula. Students with an EFC at or below the established cutoff are 
eligible for an award amount. Award amounts are graduated, using the statutory formula, based 
on the student's EFC. Within available funding, eligible students receive the highest award 
possible, up to the maximum established by statute. For FY 2023, based upon state 
appropriations received, the program provided average awards of $897 for students attending 
public 2-year institutions and $2,279 for students attending public 4-year institutions, 
independent institutions, virtual institutions and State Technical College of Missouri. In FY 2023 
35,717 students received grants (FY 2022 - 36,083 students; FY 2021 - 41,236 students).
Oversight has no information to the contrary. Oversight notes increase in financial assistance 
awards are subject to appropriations. Therefore, if the Access Missouri financial award increases 
are not funded, the cost will be $0. Therefore, Oversight will range the fiscal impact of this 
proposal from $0 to the amount provided by DHEWD. 
In response to similar legislation, HB 265 (2025), officials from the University of Central 
Missouri assumed UCM currently has roughly 1,683 eligible Access Missouri recipients. It is 
projected the minimal fiscal impact would be an increase in revenue of $1,093,950 (1,683 * 
$650/recipient) per academic year. 
In response to similar legislation, HB 265 (2025), officials from the University of Missouri 
assumed no fiscal impact from the proposal on their organizations.
In response to previous similar legislation, HB 2326 (2024), officials from Northwest Missouri 
State University assumed the proposal will have no fiscal impact on their organization. 
Oversight will show a $0 to Unknown increase in funding for 4-year colleges and universities 
(College & University Funds) as well as a $0 to Unknown increase in funding to Local 
Governments – Community Colleges. L.R. No. 0068H.06C

§173.1352 – Undergraduate course credits for students who score 4 or higher on international 
baccalaureate exams
In response to similar legislation, SB 243 (2025), officials from the Department of Elementary 
and Secondary Education, the Department of Higher Education and Workforce 
Development, the, and the University of Missouri System 
each assumed 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 2415 (2025), officials from Northwest Missouri State 
University assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their respective organizations. 
§§178.786 and 178.787 – Higher education core curriculum transfer act
Officials from the Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development state the 
proposed legislative changes will cause a fiscal impact to the DHEWD. DHEWD projects the 
following costs for Section 178.786 (4):
(1) To create clear transfer pathways, including common course numbering matrices, across 
Missouri’s public institutions in five degree program areas (general business, elementary 
education and teaching, psychology, registered nursing, and biology), they will need to gather 
degree program data from all institutions, analyze it, and work with faculty and senior leadership 
to make proposed changes to the programs. To accomplish this, they will need to secure a 
national expert to provide analysis and technical assistance. DHEWD estimates consultant costs 
at approximately $70,000, based on similar work done in Louisiana.
(2) The OPP will need 1.0 FTE at the Program Specialist level (estimated salary of $50,000 + 
$33,774.97 fringe = $83,774.89) to handle the increased workload resulting from creation of the 
pathways (including meeting preparation, creating common course equivalencies, additional 
course reviews, IT management, etc.).
(3) The Core Curriculum Advisory Committee, or similar committee established to handle the 
project, will need to meet monthly for the 18 months prior to the launch of the pathways, and 
then on an ongoing basis to manage the work each academic year. The committee would begin 
meeting in September 2025, and meet monthly until February 2027, at which time the new 
courses would be due for publication in institutional catalogs for the AY 2028 academic year. 
There are currently 37 members of the CCAC, and lunch per diem is $11 in Jefferson City, 
costing $407 per meeting and $7,326 over the course of the 18 months.
(4) The recently launched CORE 42 submission portal will need to be enhanced to accommodate 
additional requirements from the expanded transfer pathways. This will include building a new 
model to handle pathways instead of courses, and accommodations for different components 
including review structures and timelines. The DHEWD worked with Accenture to build the  L.R. No. 0068H.06C

current system using Service Now software. ITSD projects cost $150,000 for the first year and 
$200,000 in the second and third years, for a total of $550,000.
Oversight has no information to the contrary.  Therefore, Oversight will present the fiscal 
impact to the General Revenue Fund provided by DHEWD as $308,011 for FY 2026; $365,074 
for FY 2027 and $293,338 for FY 2028.
Officials from the University of Missouri System (UM) assume this legislation would require 
significant investment of resources to develop a 60-hour core curriculum for each of the five 
identified academic programs, including reaching consensus on the core across Missouri’s 14 
public community colleges and 13 public universities. They estimate that each institution may 
need at least one new FTE staff member (including salaries and benefits) to facilitate this 
process. At minimum, UM estimates a potential cost to the UM System of $400,000 per year.  
Oversight has no information to the contrary. Oversight will present unknown cost/losses as the 
fiscal impact to College and University Funds. It is assumed the impact could exceed $250,000 
annually. In addition, Oversight assumes these core classes would be classes potentially 
transferred from community colleges. The proposal will have no fiscal impact on local 
governments but would represent a loss in fees to four-year colleges and universities if students 
remain at community college longer.

Insurance, Department of Health and Senior Services, Department of Public Safety – 
Highway Patrol Department of Natural Resources, Department of RevenueDepartment

does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in 
the fiscal note for these agencies. 
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions;

Rule Promulgation
Officials from the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules assume this proposal is not 
anticipated to cause a fiscal impact beyond its current appropriation. 
Officials from the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) note many bills considered by the 
General Assembly include provisions allowing or requiring agencies to submit rules and 
regulations to implement the act. The SOS is provided with core funding to handle a certain 
amount of normal activity resulting from each year's legislative session. The fiscal impact for 
this fiscal note to the SOS for Administrative Rules is less than $5,000. The SOS recognizes that 
this is a small amount and does not expect that additional funding would be required to meet 
these costs. However, the SOS also recognizes that many such bills may be passed by the 
General Assembly in a given year and that collectively the costs may be in excess of what the 
office can sustain with its core budget. Therefore, the SOS reserves the right to request funding 
for the cost of supporting administrative rules requirements should the need arise based on a 
review of the finally approved bills signed by the governor.
