                              FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator assume the proposed
legislation may result in a slight increase in the number of cases filed;
however, they would not expect a significant increase in the workload of the
courts.

Officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) assume offenders charged
and convicted under the proposed legislation would most likely receive fines,
probation, local jail sentences or community-service sanctions.  Due to the
narrow scope of the crime, DOC officials assume any fiscal impact would be
minimal.

Officials from the Office of Prosecution Services and the Office of the
Attorney General assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact
on their respective budgets.

DESCRIPTION

The proposed legislation would delete the intent and time limitation language
contained in the lien fraud provisions of Section 429.014, RSMo.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
