ASSUMPTION
Officials of the Division of Legislative Research assumed that the Subcommittee on Competition and Privatization would meet a minimum of five times before the Subcommittee expired at the end of the Ninety-second General Assembly. Although not stated, it is assumed that the meetings will be held in Jefferson City.
The resolution provides "for reasonable reimbursement of non-legislative members of the committee," from funds available to the committee. It is assumed that the reimbursement will not be greater than the daily legislative per diem plus mileage to and from Jefferson City and that the meetings will last no longer than one day each. Although reimbursement for the members of the Subcommittee, who serve in the legislature, is not specifically mentioned, it is assumed that those members will receive their necessary expenses while attending meetings as do all members of the Joint Committee on Legislative Research.
Based upon these assumptions, travel expenses for the eight representatives of private businesses will occur for all five meetings of the subcommittee and expenses for other eight members of the subcommittee will likely occur for three of the five meetings.
Estimated total expense for the full subcommittee to meet five times a year is estimated to be ASSUMPTION (continued)
$10,572.00.
Since the resolution states, "that within funds available to the committee, it may employ necessary consulting services to assist in its objectives," additional funding will be necessary if the subcommittee desires to employ a consultant or consultants. A broad estimate to contract for consulting services ranges from $10,000 to $50,000.
Therefore, the fiscal impact to the Joint Committee on Legislative Research to enact this legislation ranges from $10,572 to $60,572.
Officials of the following agencies/offices/commissions stated that their entities would not be directly impacted fiscally by this bill: Administration, Conservation, Elementary and Secondary Education, Mental Health, Natural Resources, Public Safety (Highway Patrol), Revenue, Social Services, Transportation and Tax Commission.
