FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) assume the component of the legislation (Section 327.171, RSMo) that states the board may establish, by rule, continuing education requirements as a condition to renewing the license of an architect could result in the DNR incurring additional costs relating to this training requirement.
Additionally, Section 327.461 provides that every contract for services entered into by a person that is not licensed for the related profession is not enforceable by the unlicensed person. This could result in contracts the state may enter into being unenforceable if the state employee contracting with a PE, architect or land surveyor was not also licensed. This provision could impact the state's procurement for these services; however, the related fiscal impact cannot be determined.
Officials from the Office of Administration (COA), Department of Transportation (DHT) and the Department of Economic Development-Division of Professional Registration (DPR) assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.

No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.
DESCRIPTION
The proposed legislation would make various changes to the architects, professional engineers and professional land surveyor's law.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
