ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on the courts.
Officials from the Office of State Public Defender assume existing staff could provide representation for those few cases arising where indigent persons were charged with allowing a person under 21 to dance in an adult cabaret or charged with being less than 21 and dancing in an adult cabaret. Passage of more than one bill increasing penalties on existing crimes or creating new crimes would require the State Public Defender System to request increased appropriations to cover the cumulative cost of representing indigent persons accused in the now more serious cases or in the new additional cases.
In response to an identical proposal from the current session, officials from the Department of Public Safety - Missouri State Highway Patrol assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agency.
ASSUMPTION (continued)
In response to an identical proposal from the current session, officials from the Office of Prosecution Services assume prosecutors could absorb the costs of the proposed legislation within existing resources.
Officials from the Department of Corrections (DOC) assume they cannot predict the number of new commitments which may result from the creation of the offense(s) outlined in this proposal. An increase in commitments depends on the utilization by prosecutors and the actual sentences imposed by the court.
If additional persons are sentenced to the custody of the DOC due to the provisions of this legislation, the DOC will incur a corresponding increase in operational cost through supervision provided by the Board of Probation and Parole (FY02 average of $3.10 per offender per day, or an annual cost of $1,132 per offender).
The DOC does not anticipate the need for capital improvements at this time. It must be noted that the cumulative effect of various new legislation, if passed into law, could result in the need for additional capital improvements funding if the total number of new offenders exceeds current planned capacity.
In summary, supervision by the DOC through probation or incarceration would result in some additional costs, but it is assumed the impact would be $0 or a minimal amount that could be absorbed within existing resources.

DESCRIPTION
The proposed legislation would make it a class A misdemeanor for a person under 21 years of age to dance in an adult cabaret or for a proprietor of an adult cabaret to permit a person under 21 years of age to dance in an adult cabaret.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
