FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Attorney General's Office assume the proposal would result in no fiscal impact to the agency.



Officials from the Department of Natural Resources state that pursuant to Article IX, Section 7, of the Missouri Constitution, all penalties received as a result of the department's regulatory action are required to be deposited in the appropriate county school fund. The bill would not impact the department's authority; therefore, DNR would not be impacted by the legislation.



Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) assume the proposal would be cost neutral to the state. DESE officials assume money received from penalties paid by a concentrated animal feeding operation is not a deduction in the basic state aid formula. Since it is not a deduction, placing the revenue in the Capital Projects Fund would have no impact on the basic state aid formula. The proposal would give the district the authority to place the revenue in the Incidental or Capital Projects Funds. Currently, the revenue must be placed in the Teachers Fund.
