ASSUMPTION
Officials with the Department of Transportation, Office of State Courts Administrator, Department of Public Safety, Office of Prosecution Services and State Public Defender's Office assume this proposal would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.
Officials with the Department of Corrections (DOC) assume that supervision by DOC through probation or incarceration created by the criminal penalty provisions of this act might result in some additional costs, but it is assumed to be a minimal amount that could be absorbed within existing resources.
Based upon data from FY03, officials with the Department of Revenue (DOR) estimates 1,499 replacement placard transactions per year. Raising the replacement placard fee to $4.00 would yield an estimated $1,124 in FY05 and $2,249 in both FY06 and FY07. City governments would receive $225 in increased revenue in FY05 and $450 in both FY06 and FY07. Counties would receive $150 in increased revenue in FY05 and $300 in both FY06 and FY07.
Officials with DOR assume there could be cost in FY05 to microfilm 26,867 transactions.
Additionally in FY06, DOR estimates there could be approximately 173,934 new transactions that would require physician's statements and any accompanying documents to be microfilmed. Additional cost could also be incurred for procedure changes, envelopes and postage to ensure
ASSUMPTION (continued)
the field is adequately notified of the proposed changes.
DOR could also require programming modifications to the General Registration System, renewal pulls, disabled placards system, and the Uniformed Field Office System (UFOS). ITB estimates they could incur costs in the amount of $36,799 for FY05 to complete the modifications for the
requirement physician statements every four years. In addition, the State Data Center has indicated that to store this data it could require approximate $1,000 annually. DOR does not anticipate significant costs stemming from the changes to the religious photograph exemption.
In FY05, the photography requirement changes prescribed in this legislation would require DOR to modify the Over-the-Counter (OTC) driver license issuance system. Additional program modifications will be required for the systems that support the OTC system. Those supporting systems are the Missouri Driver License (MODL) system, the Central Driver License Information System (CDIS), and the Missouri Transportation and Accounting System (MTAS). Cost to implement these modifications are estimated at $18,720.
