ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Conservation, Department of Transportation and the Department of Agriculture assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.
Officials from the University of Missouri assume the proposed legislation would have little or no fiscal impact on the university.
Officials from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) assume at this point in time, feral hogs do not present a threat to Missouri's state parks. Therefore, this bill will not cause a fiscal impact to the DNR.
If, in the future, feral hogs cause a problem, additional funds may be necessary to eradicate the problem.
In addition, Section 271.400.3. allows any person to take or kill feral hogs on public land with the consent of the landowner. State park rules do not allow hunting in the parks, unless special controlled hunts are necessary to preserve deer population. Therefore, anyone other than state park personnel will not be allowed to take or kill feral hogs on state park property.

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