ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Health and Senior Services, Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and the Department of Agriculture indicated this proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agencies or on school districts.
Officials from the Secretary of State's Office (SOS) assumed the rules, regulations and forms issued by the State Board of Education could require as many as 4 pages in the Code of State Regulations. For any given rule, roughly half again as many pages are published in the Missouri Register as in the Code because cost statements, fiscal notes and the like are not repeated in the Code. These costs are estimated. The estimated cost of a page in the Missouri Register is $23. The estimated cost of a page in the Code of State Regulations is $27. The actual costs could be more or less the SOS's estimated cost of $246 for FY 2004. The impact of this legislation in future years is unknown and depends upon the frequency and length of rules, filed, amended, rescinded or withdrawn.
Oversight assumes the SOS could absorb the costs of printing and distributing regulations related to this proposal. If multiple bills pass which require the printing and distribution of regulations at substantial costs, the SOS could request funding through the appropriation process. Any decisions to raise fees to defray costs would likely be made in subsequent fiscal years.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
Increased use of agricultural products produced in Missouri could have a fiscal impact to small businesses as a result of this proposal.
DESCRIPTION
This proposal requires the State Board of Education, in consultation with the Department of Health and Senior Services and the Department of Agriculture, to promulgate rules regarding model school district healthy dietary guidelines.
School districts may adopt the guidelines as part of a program to promote awareness of healthy lifestyle choices. The guidelines shall be based upon documented scientific and medical research concerning healthy diet choices and shall, to the extent consistent with such research, consider options for including agricultural products produced in Missouri.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
