ASSUMPTION
Section 34.140 - Commissioner of Administration distributing surplus property:
In response to similar legislation, officials from the Office of Administration - Design and Construction state this would not fiscally impact their agency.
In response to similar legislation, officials from the Office of Administration - Purchasing and Material Management (COA - PMM) state this allows the Commissioner of Administration to distribute state surplus property to nonprofit organizations that assist military veterans chartered by the federal government. The State Agency for Surplus Property would need to review information submitted by these organizations and determine if they are chartered by the federal government. COA - PMM assumes this proposal would not fiscally impact their agency.
Officials from the Missouri Veterans Commission assumed this proposal would not fiscally impact their agency.
Section 313.835 - Issuance of matching fund grants for veterans' service officer programs:
Officials from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Missouri National Guard assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.
In response to similar legislation from this year, the Missouri Gaming Commission assumed the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agency
Officials from the Department of Social Services (DOS) stated that the proposed legislation expands the projects that can be funded from the Veterans' Commission Capital Improvement Trust Fund to include veterans service officer programs, but does not change the share of money going to the Early Childhood Development, Education, and Care Fund. Therefore, DOS assumes there will be no fiscal impact to their agency.
Officials from the Missouri Veterans Commission (VET) assume that each year, qualified agencies will reach their desired goal for matching funds. Therefore, the VET will match their fund dollar-for-dollar and have a impact of ($750,000) to the Veterans' Commission Capital Improvements Trust Fund in each fiscal year, starting with FY 2002.
ASSUMPTION (continued)
Oversight assumes a portion of the veterans' commission capital improvements trust fund's annual $3 million allotment of gaming revenues shall be earmarked for grants to federally-chartered veterans' organizations. Oversight has ranged the fiscal impact of this proposal from $0 to ($750,000) depending on the number of grants issued. Oversight also assumes the Veterans Commission can process the applications for grants with existing resources.
