FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Department of Health assume this proposal would not fiscally impact their agency.



Officials from the Missouri Consolidated Health Care Plan did not respond to our fiscal impact request.



Oversight does not have a basis on which to form a fiscal impact on local public entities. Therefore, Oversight has reflected a zero fiscal impact.



FISCAL IMPACT - State Government FY 2001

(10 Mo.)

FY 2002 FY 2003

FISCAL IMPACT - Local Government FY 2001

(10 Mo.)

FY 2002 FY 2003
$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 proposal would eliminate governmental instrumentalities from participating in the Missouri Consolidated Health Care Plan. This proposal would also establish an annual effective date of January 1 as the date in which to begin a newly enrolled participating member agency's coverage.

Currently, new agencies can begin coverage on the first day of any given month as requested by the agency and approved by the board. The proposal would also remove the board's ability to allow a participating member agency to come back into the state plan until two years have expired. Currently, an agency terminating its coverage is not eligible for participation in the state plan for two years unless a majority of the board votes otherwise.





DESCRIPTION (continued)



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