FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials from the Senate, House of Representatives, Governor's Office, Coordinating Board For Higher Education and State Auditor's Office assume the proposal would result in no fiscal impact to them.

Officials from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) state they are responsible for programs of the state relating to environmental control and the conservation and management of natural resources. DNR officials assume that any procedures established for the selling, trading or permitting the severance of minerals or other natural resources would be in compliance with the department's statutes and corresponding regulations.

Officials from the University of Missouri (MU) assume the proposal would have no fiscal impact on the university.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business


Small businesses could be negatively impacted if the University would no longer be required to advertise or solicit bids for the sale of timber, mineral or other natural resources.

DESCRIPTION

The proposal would require the University of Missouri to comply with bidding procedures established by rule that mandate notice of the transaction be provided in a manner reasonably calculated to apprise prospective purchasers when selling or severing timber, minerals or other natural resources. Such rule(s) would at a minimum require at least one notice of the transaction be published in a newspaper of general circulation where the resources are located.

The proposal would remove the requirement that notice of the proposed sale would be provided



DESCRIPTION (Continued)

to the Governor, State Auditor, Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives and Secretary of the Senate.

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