FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Department of Transportation (MoDOT) assume that the proposal would provide that billboards can be repaired only if they meet the requirements of cities or counties as stated in section 71.288, RSMo, current state law and MoDOT rules. Officials indicate that if MoDOT is required to look at each local ordinance to ensure that repairs comply, there would be a significant increase in time and salary expense.
Oversight assumes that local governments now review billboards for compliance with local ordinances, and that the responsibility for ensuring compliance of maintenance, repairs and rebuilding of signs with local ordinances would rest with the local governments rather than MoDOT. Therefore, Oversight assumes there would be no fiscal impact to the department.

DESCRIPTION

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