FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials of the Missouri Department of Revenue assume no administrative impact from this proposal.



Missouri Department of Transportation officials assume no fiscal impact from this proposal.



City of St. Louis officials assume no fiscal impact to their city.



Officials of the Kansas City Manager's Office stated that the sales tax flows through the city, however, this proposal does not impact the city. Officials assume this proposal only affects the distribution of funding within the ITA for capital, operations, and fare-a-share.



Oversight assumes this proposal does not increase nor decrease funds to the "Public Mass Transportation Trust Fund" of Kansas City, and does not add any additional duties to the Interstate Transportation Authority. Oversight assumes this proposal only affects the distribution of funding within the authority by removing the limits on the amount of money in the fund that could be spent on motor pool operations. Therefore, Oversight assumes no fiscal impact to the Public Mass Transportation Trust Fund of Kansas City.

DESCRIPTION



This legislation allows funding of motor pool operations by the Mass Transportation Trust Fund. The Public Mass Transportation Trust Fund is for the primary benefit of a public mass transportation system in Kansas City.



Currently, the law limits the amount of sales tax collected to six and one-half percent of the moneys deposited in the fund to motor pool operations. Motor pool operations is a special transportation service provided by a city to certain residents of a city including transporting elderly persons and persons with disabilities. This act eliminates the six and one-half percent limitation on motor pool operations funding. The public Mass Transportation Trust Fund is financed by a sales tax imposed on personal property or taxable services.





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