FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DOL) assume no fiscal impact to their department.
Officials of the Missouri Ethics Commission (MEC) assume this proposal will require their commission to print authorization forms, receive and file authorization forms and retain for future use. Officials stated that to perform these duties would require one part-time clerk (.50 FTE) and necessary office equipment and expense and fringe benefits, (see Fiscal Impact-State Government page 2).
