ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator assume this proposal would have no impact on their agency.
Officials from the Department of Revenue assume the fiscal impact of this proposal is unknown.
The Driver and Vehicle Services Bureau attempted to obtain statistics from the Missouri State Highway Patrol regarding arrests for stealing fuel. The Missouri State Highway Patrol was unable to provide such data.
The Driver and Vehicle Services Bureau also contacted the Missouri Petroleum Marketers and was advised that they conducted a survey about two years ago with members of their organization. Those who responded indicated that prosecution on such cases is rare due to the dollar amount involved. Most cases involve a theft of less than $20.00 worth of fuel.
In order to implement this legislation, the Driver and Vehicle Services Bureau will have to develop new conviction codes and two new action types for the license withdrawal actions that will be imposed. These can be developed with existing resources.
Based on the undetermined number of violators, the fiscal impact of this legislation is UNKNOWN.
Oversight assumes the fiscal impact of this proposal is minimal.
