FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Economic Development - Missouri Arts Council, the Department of Revenue and the State Treasurer stated that the proposal would not affect their agencies, administratively.



Oversight notes that transfers from the General Revenue Fund to the Missouri Arts Council Trust Fund were $4,974,655 in FY 2000, $5,194,060 in FY 2001, and $2,597,030 in FY 2002. There were no transfers from the General Revenue Fund to the Trust Fund in FY 2003 or FY 2004. HB 1007 from this session does not have a line item for such a transfer in FY 2005.



For fiscal note purposes, Oversight will show costs of zero ($0) to (Unknown) to the General Revenue Fund and corresponding gains to the Missouri Arts Council Trust Fund to reflect the possibility that if the estimate of income tax collected from athletes and entertainers were to exceed $16,666,667 the Trust Fund would receive more money than is allowed under current law and the General Revenue Fund would retain less.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. This proposal would not affect Total State Revenue.
