                              FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials of the Department of Revenue (DOR) state this proposal extends a
tax already in effect; therefore this proposal would not fiscally impact
their agency.  Tax collections from this tax in FY 96 were approximately
$27,745,000.

Officials of the Kansas City Manager's Office state the extension of the
Kansas City Transportation Sales Tax would generate approximately $30 million
in revenues for FY99 and $31.1 in FY2000.  The revenues collected from this
tax are used to fund the Kansas City Area Transportation Authority and
transportation planning.

The Missouri Department of Revenue Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for
Fiscal Year Ended 6/30/94 showed tax collections of $25,372,224 for the
Kansas City Transportation Sales Tax and for Fiscal Year Ended 6/30/95 of
$26,390,169.  Based on the pattern of these tax collections, Oversight has
assumed a 4% annual growth rate.

This proposal would result in an increase in Total State Revenues since
Collection Fees are included in the General Revenue Fund and general revenues
are included in the calculation of Total State Revenue.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

Small businesses would be expected to be fiscally impacted to the extent that
they pay local sales tax on taxable items.  The extension of the Kansas City
transportation sales tax would cause small businesses to continue to pay the
local rate for such taxable items.


DESCRIPTION

This proposal extends the sunset provision of the Kansas City transportation
sales tax from December 31, 1997, to December 31, 1999.

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