ASSUMPTION
Officials with the Department of Transportation, Office of State Courts Administrator and Department of Health and Senior Services assume this proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.
Officials with the Department of Revenue (DOR) and the Department of Public Safety (DPS) assume their agencies could have fiscal impact associated with this proposal.
Section 301.138
Officials with DPS assume an unknown cost associated with this section of the proposal. DPS cannot determine the number of persons that would apply for a citation granting status. Oversight assumes that this proposal could require DPS to develop procedures, forms and collection means for persons to apply for the citation giving authority. Oversight also assumes this proposal could allow DPS to collect a fifty dollar fee per application and DPS would keep cost at a level equal to their fee collection and therefore create a net of zero for fiscal impact.
ASSUMPTION (continued)
Officials with DOR assume this section could allow a person to apply to DPS for the authority to issue citations. They assume a copy of the citations from a 'certified' person would be sent to the Director of Revenue. DOR assumes this could require their agency to incur cost for tracking the offenders movement through the judicial process and potential suspensions. DOR states the programming and General Counsel cost could be a significant unknown. Oversight notes that the legislation includes permissive language for DOR to give notice and suspend violators. However, this proposal does not make any specific demands on DOR for the tracking and revocation of offenders. Therefore, Oversight assumes that an unknown cost could be incurred by DOR to track the disposition information received from the prosecutor.
With information from the Office of Prosecution Services, Oversight assumes the fiscal impact to the local prosecutors to notify DOR of the disposition of these cases would be minimal.

ASSUMPTION (continued)
301.142
DOR assumes this section could require their agency to obtain and store physician statements regarding the eligibility of disabled persons to have a disabled placard. Their agency could incur cost for microfilming the statements and storage at the State Data Center. DOR notes that every four years there could be a surge in overtime cost for the microfilming due to the physician statement requirement every four years. DOR-Information Technology Bureau (ITB) assume they could incur cost for programming the modifications to the General Registration System, renewal pulls, disabled placards system and the Uniformed Field Office System (UFOS).
DOR assumes this section could require their agency to issue a certificate bound in plastic to the holder of a handicap placard. DOR assumes they could incur cost for certificates, laminating machines and pouches.
DOR assumes this section could require their agency to check with vital statistics before the annual renewal of placards. With information from DOR, Oversight assumes that if the FASTR system were available at this time then the cost would be a small unknown.

DESCRIPTION
This proposal could require DPS to develop a program and certify qualifying individuals to issue citations for parking in a disabled space without a valid placard. DPS could collect a fifty dollar fee application from those individuals interested in obtaining certification.
This proposal could require DOR to track the dispositions after the citation has been through the judicial system.
This proposal could require DOR to require and maintain physician statements for disabled placards
This proposal could require DOR to issue certificates bound in plastic at the time of renewal.
This proposal could require DOR to check with vital statistics at the time of renewal to prevent issuance of disabled placards to deceased individuals.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
