ASSUMPTION
Officials with the Division of Budget and Planning, Department of Public Safety - Fire Safety, Capitol Police, Water Patrol, Missouri Highway Patrol, State Emergency Management System, Office of the Governor, Missouri Senate, Department of Agriculture
Department of Mental Health, Department of Transportation, Division of Facilities, Management, and Public Service Commission assume no fiscal impact to their agencies.
Officials with the Department of Public Safety - Homeland Security assume the current SEMA budget has three (3) FTE to administer Homeland Security. The office, as currently structured, is not adequately staffed to effective manage the workload. As homeland security has evolved at federal level with the creation of the US Department of Homeland Security, the requirements for state participation has grown and this proposal identifies a few critical positions that are required for Missouri to maximize the relationship with a growing and funded US Department of Homeland Security.
Oversight assumes funding for additional staffing should be requested through the normal budgetary process.

| FISCAL IMPACT - Local Government | FY 2005 | FY 2006 | FY 2007 |
| $0 | $0 | $0 |
FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.
DESCRIPTION
This act would codify the Office of Homeland Security and the Missouri Security Council in statute, rather than by Executive Order as it currently exists. Further, the Office of Homeland Security and the Missouri Security Council shall terminate ninety days following the dissolution of the Federal Department of Homeland Security.
The act requires that the Joint Committee on Terrorism, Bioterrorism, and Homeland Security meet regularly but must meet once annually, current law requires a quarterly meeting.
The act would establish a Joint Committee on Communications Interoperability and Efficiency which would make recommendations to the General Assembly concerning the need and feasibility of a state commission on communications.
This act contains an emergency clause.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
