FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

The Office of Prosecution Services, Office of Administration, Office of the State Treasurer, Office of the State Auditor, and the Office of the State Courts Administrator assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.

In response to a similar proposal, the Department of Revenue assumed the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agency.

Oversight assumes that there have been no transfers from the Missouri Office of Prosecution Services Fund to the General Revenue Fund pursuant to section 33.080, RSMo; therefore, no state fund balances would change.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

DESCRIPTION

This proposal allows any unexpended balances in the Missouri Office of Prosecution Services (MOPS) fund and revolving fund to remain in the respective account and not transfer to general revenue; names the state treasurer as custodian of the MOPS fund and states that any interest shall be credited to the MOPS fund; removes the restriction that no other moneys from general revenue or any other source shall be used to fund the office; and deletes the provision that the office staff shall consist of "not more than three persons".

DESCRIPTION (continued)

Assistant prosecuting attorneys are not required to meet the same qualifications as prosecuting attorneys. This proposal deletes provisions which are outdated due to demographic changes, and

makes other technical revisions to current laws concerning prosecuting attorneys.

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