FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Insurance, the Department of Revenue, and the University of Missouri stated the proposal would not affect their agencies, administratively.



In response to a similar proposal, the Department of Public Safety and the Office of the State Treasurer assumed the proposal would not affect their agencies, administratively.



The Governor's Budget for FY 2001 shows General Revenue Insurance Tax receipts of $145,801,930 in FY 1999 and estimates receipts of $147,000,000 for FY 2000 and $148,190,000 for FY 2001. One-half of these collections are retained by the General Revenue Fund. This proposal would allow transfers to the Fire Education Trust Fund of approximately $147,000 in FY 2001 and $148,190 in FY 2002. Oversight assumes receipts would remain constant at $148,190,000 per year, subsequently.
