ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume no administrative impact for their department. Officials assume the State's General Revenue Fund would have fiscal impact. The DOR would retain a 1% fee for collection of the tax, and is directed to deposit it into the State's General Revenue Fund. The amount of revenue generated is indeterminable and will be shown as Unknown.
Officials of the City of Excelsior Springs estimate that the sales tax would generate $125,000 in FY 2004; $500,000 in FY 2005; and $500,000 in FY 2006.
Oversight has prepared this fiscal note as though voters of the City of Excelsior Springs approved the imposition of a sales tax for public safety. Income to the State's General Revenue Fund is based upon withholding a 1% collection fee from figures provided by the City of Excelsior Springs.

This act enables the governing body of Excelsior Springs in Clay County to submit to its qualified voters a ballot question authorizing up to one-half cent sales tax.

The Department of Revenue will collect the tax and submit it to the City Treasurer. The act contains contingencies for when, if ever, the sales tax is abolished, or when, if ever, any erroneous payments or overpayments are made.
DESCRIPTION (continued)
