FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§67.646 – Sports Complex Authorities
Officials from the Office of Administration - Budget and Planning (B&P) assume this section
creates a new "Clay County Sports Complex Authority" (CCSCA) in Clay County, MO. The
language used to create this bill is based on similar language in cross-referenced sections that
created the "Jackson County Sports Complex Authority" in sections 64.920 to 64.950, RSMo,
and falls under the authority that created the “Convention and Sports Complex Fund” (CSCF) in
sections 67.638 to 67.645. It allows the General Assembly (GA) to appropriate $3M GR into the
CSCF to be utilized by the new authority, but only after Clay County has created the CCSCA
and the authority has entered into a contract or lease with a professional sports team affiliated
with the NFL, NBA, NHL, or AL or NL of the MLB on or after January 1, 2026. Additionally,
no funds shall be expended from the CSCF until the county has matched 100% of the GR
appropriation to the fund. Matching funds from the county may be from any source.
Therefore, the fiscal impact to GR is up to $3M, and the fiscal impact to Clay County may be
$3M.
Officials from the Office of Administration (OA) state per §67.646, RSMo, the general
assembly may annually appropriate up to $3,000,000 from the state general revenue fund to the
convention and sports complex fund. The fiscal impact would be $0-$3,000,000.
Oversight does not have information to the contrary and therefore, Oversight will reflect the
estimates as provided by the OA. Oversight notes from §67.646.3(2) that the funds may be
appropriated annually provided that the county or authority has entered into a contract or lease
on or after January 1, 2026. Oversight will assume this appropriation may be in the budget
starting in FY27. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a transfer out of $0 (no appropriations) or up
to $3 million starting in FY27.
Oversight also notes that in subsection 3(4), the money would not be appropriated by the state
until the county contributes into their Convention and Sports Complex Fund the sum of $3
million per calendar year. B&P notes that the appropriation may be up to $3 million from the
state’s GR and may be $3 million from Clay County. It is possible that the state’s GR
appropriation could be less than the $3 million and Clay County would still need to contribute $3
million should the CCSCA go forward. Therefore, for fiscal note purposes, Oversight will reflect
a $0 or $3 million dollars into County Convention and Sports Complex Fund. L.R. No. 2320S.01I

Officials from the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume this proposal would allow Clay
County to create a County Sports Complex Authority. This proposal would allow the General
Assembly to appropriate general revenue up to $3 million annually for the Clay County Sports
Complex Authority. The $3 million appropriation can continue for up to 40 years.
This is no impact on DOR as the General Assembly would make the appropriation and the State
Treasurer would do the transfer of the funds.
Officials from the Office of the Governor assume this bill adds to the Governor’s current load
of appointment duties. Individually, additional requirements should not fiscally impact the Office
of the Governor. However, the cumulative impact of additional appointment duties across all
enacted legislation may require additional resources for the Office of the Governor.
Officials from the Department of Economic DevelopmentOffice of the State Treasurer,
Kansas City, the Office of the State Auditor, the Missouri House of Representatives, the
Joint Committee on Administrative Rules and the Missouri Senate each assume 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.
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.

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
This act authorizes Clay County to establish a county sports complex authority for the purpose of
developing, maintaining, or maintaining sports, convention, exhibition, or trade facilities. The
authority shall consist of five commissioners to be appointed by the Governor from a panel of
nine candidates submitted by the county commission. Commissioners shall serve five year terms,
as described in the act. The authority shall have the same powers as other county sports complex
authorities as provided in current law.
The county is authorized to establish a Convention and Sports Complex Fund, which shall be
separate from the general funds of the county. The General Assembly may annually appropriate
an amount not to exceed $3 million into the fund, provided that the county or the authority has
entered into a contract or lease with a professional sports team on or after January 1, 2026. In
order to receive appropriations of state money pursuant to the act, the county shall enact
ordinances for the purchase of goods and services and for construction of capital improvements
administered by the authority and shall commence paying into the fund an amount sufficient for
the county to contribute at least $3 million per calendar year. In no case shall appropriations of L.R. No. 2320S.01I
Bill No. SB 713

state money exceed the amounts contributed by the county into the fund. The county shall submit
an annual report to the General Assembly, as provided in the act.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
