FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
§§320.111 320.116 and 320.147 – Provisions governing fireworks
Officials from the Department of Public Safety (DPS) – Division of Fire Safety (DFS) state
the DFS took the average of each type of permit over the past three fiscal years and multiplied it
by the current and proposed new fees. From the totals, the ATC figured the difference and
calculated the proposed 80/20 split between fund 0821 (Firefighter Training) and 0927 (Fire Safe
Cigarette). Since the fund split is a new proposal, the ATC then took the low and high revenues
over the past three fiscal years to calculate the split and add the fee increase. This would cause an
increase in revenues to the Firefighter Training Fund of approximately $37,480 to $39,594
annually and an increase to the Fire Safe Cigarette Fund of approximately $49,731 to $51,745
annually.
Oversight has no information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will present the fiscal impact
of this proposal as provided by DPS-DFS.
Officials from the Department of Natural Resources, the DPS - Missouri Highway Patrol,
the Missouri Department of TransportationCity of Kansas City, and the Fruitland
Area Fire Protection District 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.
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. L.R. No. 0805S.01I
