FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



The Department of Revenue (DOR) assumes this proposal eliminates the additional fee for special plates issued to retired military personnel.



The DOR currently has issued 46 personalized retired military plates. Based on the current issue of retired military plates the DOR estimates this proposal would have minimal administrative impact and minimal revenue loss. However, there are approximately 30,000 retired military persons in Missouri that could qualify for this plate and if a significant number of retired military apply for this plate there would be administrative impact to the DOR to produce more sets of license plates.



The Department of Transportation (DOT) concurs with the Department of Revenues response to this proposal.

$0 $0 $0



FISCAL IMPACT - Local Government FY 2001 FY 2002 FY 2003

(10 Mo.)

$0 $0 $0



FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business



No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.



DESCRIPTION



This act exempts retired members of the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard from paying the personalized license plate fee when purchasing "RETIRED MILITARY" license plates.



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