ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education indicated this proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agency.
Officials from the Office of Administration - Division of Budget and Planning (BAP) stated this proposed legislation should not result in additional costs or savings to BAP.
Officials from the Mexico School District anticipated no fiscal impact on the school district since the language is permissive and also has a provision which allows for charging individuals for the transportation service.
Officials from the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) assume statewide newspaper publication of constitutional amendments would cost approximately $1,161 per column inch based on an estimate provided by the Missouri Press Service. Three printings are required by the Constitution and state statute; therefore publication cost of a proposal would total $3,485 per column inch. SOS estimates the total number of column inches for this amendment to be 10 inches including title header and certification paragraph. ($3,485 x 10 = $34,850) Costs are based on 2003 figures and are subject to change.
