ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of the State Courts Administrator (CTS) stated the proposed legislation would expand the crime of ticket scalping to all entertainment events. CTS assumes there may be some small increase in the number of cases filed, but did not anticipate a significant impact on the workload of the judiciary.
Officials from the Office of the State Public Defender (SPD) assumed that existing staff could provide representation for those 25-50 cases arising where indigent persons were charged with ticket scalping to entertainment events. However, passage of more than one similar proposal would require the State Public Defender System to request increased appropriations to cover cumulative cost of representing the indigent accused in the additional cases.
Officials from the Office of Prosecution Services, and Department of Public Safety - Missouri Highway Patrol assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their respective agencies.
In response to identical legislation from last session, officials from the Office of the Attorney General assumed the proposal would not have a fiscal impact on their agency.
