ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Agriculture, Department of Transportation and Department of Revenue assume there would be no fiscal impact to their agency.
Officials from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) assume the proposal extends the sunset of land disposal fee that supports the hazardous waste program. Extension of the land disposal fee will not result in a fiscal impact. This legislation does not extend the category fee that also supports the activities of the hazardous waste program.
Current statute provides revenue of the land disposal fee through January 1, 2005 (first six months of FY05). The proposed legislation would extend the sunset date of the land disposal fee that supports the hazardous waste program to January 1, 2007. This proposal does not extend the category fee. Extension of the sunset date for the land disposal fee will continue the current revenue stream. This does not affect the department's authority regarding these issues. Therefore the program will not be impacted by this legislation
The proposal extends the sunset date of the land disposal fees only. Revenue received as a result of this legislation is projected to be $43,000 to the Hazardous Waste Remedial Fund and $28,500 to the Hazardous Waste Fund for the six month period of FY05 beginning January 1, 2005. The
ASSUMPTION (continued)
continued fee will generate about $86,000 annually into the Hazardous Waste Remedial Fund and $57,000 annually to the Hazardous Waste Fund.
Projected revenues for FY 2006 that would be generated are approximately $142,045 in land disposal fees only (60% to HWRF and 40% to HWF).
The department assumes the revenue will be used to support the regulation of hazardous waste in the state of Missouri. Revenue from the land disposal fee is a critical component of the funding that supports the regulation, compliance and enforcement activities conducted by the Hazardous Waste Program and Regional Offices. This funding also supports emergency response activities conducted bye the Environmental Services Program

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
Registered hazardous waste generators subject to the land disposal fee tax would be impacted. There would be no change to the current system, except that the obligation to pay these fees would be extended beyond January 1, 2005. Under current law, there is no obligation for these people to pay fees after that date.
DESCRIPTION
This act extends the sunset on hazardous waste fees from January 1, 2005 to January 1, 2007.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
