ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Office of State Courts Administrator assume this proposal may cause a minor increase in court caseloads, but it would have no significant fiscal impact on their agency.
Officials from the Department of Transportation assume no fiscal impact from this proposal.
In response to a prior version of this proposal, 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, DOR assumes the Driver and Vehicle Services Bureau would have to develop new conviction codes and 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, DOR assumes the fiscal impact of this legislation is unknown.
Oversight assumes the fiscal impact of this proposal is minimal and could be absorbed with existing resources.

DESCRIPTION
This legislation would require the director of revenue to suspend an individual's driving privilege if convicted of stealing fuel. A first offense would suspend the driving privilege for six months and a second offense would revoke the driving privilege for one year.
This legislation would also permit a suit against those who fail to pay for trucking services and would specify damages in certain cases.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
