ASSUMPTION
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) assumes the proposed legislation states the commission may provide training, programs and other assistance to the soil and water conservation districts for the identification and development of programs that respond to the character of the districts needs. This will not result in a fiscal impact to the department because staff currently provides training, resources and other assistance to soil and water conservation districts. The commission already has the authority through which the districts identify and request programs that respond to particular districts' needs.
The Department of Agriculture, the Department of Conservation, the Office of the Attorney General and the University of Missouri assume their agencies would not be administratively impacted by this proposal.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.
DESCRIPTION
This act reorganizes the Soil and Water Conservation Commission by expanding the number of farmer members from five to six with the three ex-officio members remaining the same. Three of the farmer members shall reside north of the Missouri River and three shall reside south. No senatorial district may have more than one farmer member.
DESCRIPTION (continued)
Four farmer members must be present in order to determine an action by the Commission. The chairman may vote only in the event of a tie.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
