FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



The Joint Committee on Public Employee Retirement indicates that the proposed legislation is not a "substantial proposed change" in future plan benefits, as defined by Section 105.660(5). As such, no actuarial cost statement is required.



Officials with the Prosecuting Attorneys' Retirement System assume the proposal will have no impact on the system or on local governments, as the provision applies only to counties which elect to designate the position of prosecuting attorney as full-time. If counties elected to do so, they would be required to make a larger contribution to the retirement fund.

(10 Mo.)

FY 2003 FY 2004
$0 $0 $0



FISCAL IMPACT - Local Government FY 2002

(10 Mo.)

FY 2003 FY 2004
$0 $0 $0



FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business



No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.



DESCRIPTION



This act requires counties which, after August 28, 2001, elect to have a full-time prosecuting attorney, to pay the same amount into the Missouri Prosecuting Attorneys and Circuit Attorneys' Retirement System Fund as counties of the first classification.



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