FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials of the Office of Administration, Division of Purchasing (DPMM) assume this bill would apply to all contracts awarded by the DPMM. To ensure that all the additional requirements are met, DPMM would need one additional FTE - a Buyer III position.



Oversight has, for fiscal note purposes only, changed the starting salary for the Buyer III position to correspond to the second step above minimum for comparable positions in the state's merit system pay grid. This decision reflects a study of actual starting salaries for new state

employees for a six month period and the policy of the Oversight Subcommittee of the Joint Committee on Legislative Research.



Officials of the Department of Transportation (MoDOT) assume this legislation requires every vendor or affiliate of a vendor seeking to contract to provide goods and services to the State of Missouri to collect and pay all sales and use taxes. The proposal authorizes the Department of Revenue to disclose such information to the Commissioner of Administration. There is no fiscal impact to MoDOT.



Department of Conservation (MDC) officials state this proposal requires sales and use tax compliance from vendors selling to the state. This proposal would not appear to have significant fiscal impact on the MDC.



ASSUMPTION (continued)



Officials of the Department of Revenue (DOR) did not respond to our fiscal note request. However, in response to HB 600, DOR stated this legislation requires every vendor or affiliate of a vendor seeking to contract to provide goods and services to the State of Missouri to collect and properly pay all sales and use taxes. For several years, DOR has provided lists to the Office of Administration of noncompliant vendors. Therefore, this will have no additional impact to DOR.

DOR anticipates an UNKNOWN increase in revenues from this legislation.



This legislation will increase Total State Revenue.
