ASSUMPTION
Officials with the Department of Public Safety - Highway Patrol assume no fiscal impact to their agency.
Officials with the Department of Revenue (DOR) - Driver and Vehicle Services Bureau (DVSB) assume their division could need 667 hours of programming overtime to process additional plate applications including editing, correspondence, validation, key entry, telephone and customer walk-in assistance.
Officials with the Department of Revenue (DOR)-Information Technology Bureau (ITB) assume their division could need 180 hours of programming overtime to modify the special plate reservation system, renewal pull program for fees and the Uniform Field Office System (UFOS).
FY 05(10 Months) Income and Cost
Plate fees ($15) $93,750
Procedures and forms ($1,928)
Postage ($64,651)
Plates and Tabs ($62,400)
Programming Cost (308 hours) ($15,707)
Total ($50,936)
FY 06 Income (no cost applicable)
Plate fees (7,500*$15) $112,500
FY 07 Income (no cost applicable)
Plate fees (7,500*$15) $112,500
To implement this legislation, the DOR could require additional funds. In the past, the programs included in this legislation have been paid for with highway funds. This year, however, highway funds may not be available for this purpose as a result of legislation enacted by the General Assembly in 2000 that limits the use of highway funds.
This limitation is found in Section 226.200.3, RSMo. It places a cap on the highway funding available to state departments other than the Department of Transportation. The total amount of highway funds appropriated to these other state departments (including DOR) cannot exceed the total amount of their fiscal year 2001 highway appropriations. This cap limits the highway funds that will be available for the implementation of this legislation.
If highway funds are not available, then another source of funding must be identified to pay for the cost of implementing this legislation.
This proposal could increase state revenue through plate fees.

DESCRIPTION
This act creates the NRA special license plate. Any member of the NRA desiring such a plate shall pay a $25 emblem-use contribution to the NRA and pay the Department of Revenue a $15 fee in addition to regular registration fees. The emblem-use contributions shall be used by the NRA for the Eddie Eagle Gun Safe Program, youth programs, and education and training in the state of Missouri.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
