FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§§217.451 and 221.108 – Telephones in correctional facilities
Officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) assume the proposal will have no fiscal
impact on their organization. The DOC states the current phone services contract charges
offenders $0.05 per minute.
Officials from the Phelps County Sheriff’s Department, the Kansas City Police Department,
and the
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.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions;
however, other local law enforcement agencies 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.
