ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Missouri House of Representatives, the Department of Corrections, the Office of the Governor, the Department of Mental Health, and the Department of Social Services assume this proposal would not fiscally impact their agencies.
Officials from the Missouri Senate did not respond to our fiscal note request. In a similar proposal from last year, the Senate assumed no fiscal impact.
Officials from the Department of Health and Senior Services (DOH) assume the DOH would have a cost of $500 in FY 2005 for travel for two staff and $25,000 for a contract with a school of public health to conduct research and evaluation.
Oversight assumes the DOH could absorb the cost for staff travel. Oversight assumes if there would be a need for a contract, the costs would be paid for from the Joint Contingent Fund.
