                              FISCAL ANALYSIS


ASSUMPTION

Staff from the Department of Revenue Motor Vehicle Bureau stated there would
be costs for new application forms and materials to manufacture the new
Jaycee License plate.  There would also be costs to revise policies and mail
the revisions to the Branch and Field Offices.

Information received from the Missouri Jaycees indicate there are
approximately 5,000 members which would be eligible for the license plate.
It is assumed 7% of these individuals would apply for the special license
plate.

5,000 x 7% = 350 Jaycee license plates x $15 = $5,250
$5,250/12 months = $437 x 10 months = $4,375 for 10 months of FY 98 and
$5,250 for FY 99 and FY 00.  This increase would be distributed in accordance
with Article IV, section 30 (b) of the Missouri Constitution.

DOR stated the legislation would allow exempt inter-divisional transfers of
motor vehicles, trailers, boats, and outboard motors within a motor vehicle
leasing company if the company is also registered as a motor vehicle or boat
dealer.  Currently, all transfers of vehicles between divisions of a motor
vehicle leasing company are subject to sales tax unless otherwise exempted.
This change would result in a modest loss to the Highway Fund, General
Revenue Fund, School District Trust Fund, Conservation Fund, Parks & Soil
Funds and city and county sales tax funds.

The revenue impact of this provision would result in an Unknown loss which
would be less than $100,000 to any one fund.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of
the legislation.


DESCRIPTION

The legislation would allow for an active member of the Junior Chamber of
Commerce to purchase a special license plate bearing the shield of the
Missouri Junior Chamber of Commerce for an additional fee of $15.

The legislation also adds a provision that would allow exempt
inter-divisional transfers of motor vehicles, trailers, boats, and outboard
motors within a motor vehicle leasing company if the company is also
registered as a motor vehicle or boat dealer.

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