FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials of the Office of Administration - Division of Facilities Management stated that they could carry out their duties under terms of this proposal with current resources.



Officials of the Secretary of State (SOS) stated that this proposal would change regulations regarding signs in the Capitol. The Office of Administration would promulgate rules to implement the proposal. Based on experience with other divisions, the rules, regulations and forms issued by the Office of Administration could require as many as 16 pages in the Code of State Regulations. For any given rule, roughly half again as many pages are published in Missouri Register as in the Code because cost estimates and fiscal notes are not repeated in the Code. The estimated cost of a page in the Missouri Register is $23. The estimated cost of a page in the Code of State Regulations is $27. The estimated cost of publication in FY 2005 for this proposal is $984. Actual cost could be more or less and costs in future years would depend upon frequency and length of rules filed, amended, rescinded or withdrawn.



Secretary of State officials do not anticipate the need for additional staff as a result of this proposal; however, enactment of more than one similar proposal could, in the aggregate, require additional staff.



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.

DESCRIPTION



This proposal would require the Office of Administration to issue rules and regulations prohibiting the display of signs, placards and other items placed on the walls in the public areas of the state capitol. The proposal would not apply to interior offices of public officials and state employees who work in the capitol. It would also not apply to official signs or displays.



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.
