ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Agriculture, Department of Transportation and Department of Revenue assume there would be no fiscal impact to their agency.
Officials from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) assume the proposal extends the sunset date of two fees that support the hazardous waste program. Extension of the sunset date for these fees will continue the current revenue stream. Revenue received as a result of this legislation is projected to be $800,000 to the Hazardous Waste Remedial Fund and $550,000 to the Hazardous Waste Fund for the six period beginning January 1, 2005. The continued fees will generate about $1.6M annually into Hazardous Waste Remedial Fund and $1.1M annually to the Hazardous Waste Fund.
Projected revenues for FY 2006 that would be generated are approximately $2,623,784 in category tax (60% to HWRF and 40% to HWF) and $140,441 in land disposal fees (60% to HWRF and 40% to HWF).
ASSUMPTION (continued)
The department assumes the revenue will be used to support the regulation of hazardous wastes in the state of Missouri. Revenue from these fees is a critical component of the funding that support the regulation, compliance and enforcement activities conducted by the Hazardous Waste Program and Regional Offices. This funding also supports emergency response activities conducted by the Environmental Services Program.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
Registered hazardous waste generators and treatment, storage, and disposal facilities subject to the category tax and land disposal fee tax would be obligated to continue paying these fees. There would be no change to the current system except that the obligation to pay these fees would be extended to January 1, 2010. The current sunset date is January 1, 2005. Failure to extend the fee will reduce the ability to provide technical assistance to small business. It will reduce the Department of Natural Resources ability to respond to emergencies where small businesses do not have emergency responsibility capability. Large businesses can call commercial hazardous material response companies, small businesses rely on the state.
DESCRIPTION
This act extends the levy and collection of the hazardous waste management fee to January 1, 2010.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
