Officials of the Department of Public Safety - Missouri State Water Patrol
assumed that this proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agency.

Officials of the State Courts Administrator assumed that there could be a
small increase in the number of cases prosecuted; however, after a period of
adjustment, they would not expect the increased numbers of criminal
prosecutions to be significant.
