ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Economic Development - Division of Professional Registration stated this proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agency.
In response to the introduced version of this proposal, officials from the Office of Administration - Division of Budget and Planning and the Department of Revenue assumed the proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.
In response to the introduced version of this proposal, officials from the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) stated this proposal establishes licensing requirements for athletic trainers. Rules could be published by the Department of Economic Development, Board for the Healing Arts to carry out the requirements of the proposal. Based on experience with other divisions, the rules, regulations and forms issued by the Board for the Healing Arts could require as many as 8 pages in the Code of State Regulations. For any given rule, roughly one-half again as many pages are published in the Missouri Register as are published in the Code because cost statements, fiscal notes and notices are not published in the Code. The estimated cost of a page in the Missouri Register is $23.00. The estimated cost of a page in the Code of State Regulations is $27.00. The actual costs could be more or less than the numbers given. The fiscal impact of this legislation in future years is unknown and depends upon the frequency and length of rules filed, amended, rescinded and withdrawn. The SOS estimates the cost of this legislation to be $492 [(8 pp x $27) + (12 pp x $23)].
ASSUMPTION (continued)
Oversight assumes the SOS could absorb the costs of printing and distributing regulations related to this proposal. If multiple bills pass which require the printing and distribution of
regulations at substantial costs, the SOS could request funding through the appropriation process. Any decisions to raise fees to defray costs would likely be made in subsequent fiscal years.
