FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Corrections, Department of Public Safety - Missouri State Highway Patrol, and the - Capitol Police assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.



Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on the courts.



Officials from the Office of Prosecution Services assume prosecutors could absorb the costs of the proposed legislation within existing resources.



Officials from the Office of State Public Defender (SPD) assume existing staff could provide representation for those few cases arising where indigent persons were charged with prostitution related offenses. Passage of more than one bill increasing penalties on existing crimes or creating new crimes would require the State Public Defender System to request increased appropriations to cover the cumulative cost of representing indigent persons accused in the now more serious cases or in the new additional cases.
