ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Transportation and Department of Public Safety - Missouri State Highway Patrol assume the proposed legislation would have no fiscal impact on their agencies.
Officials from the Department of Revenue assume the proposed legislation would have minimal impact on their department. Officials noted that this proposal will only require procedure changes that can be handled with existing resources.
Officials from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) assume department rule 10 CSR 10-5.380(2)(B) will have to be revised to reflect the exemption of historic vehicles from emissions testing. Historic vehicle license plates are not renewed once issued. Therefore, emissions tests are only required on initial registration as a historic vehicle and not thereafter. This bill will reduce the number of emissions tests required by a small number. By reducing the number of vehicle inspections, state revenue and air reduction credits would also be reduced.
If this bill becomes law, the DNR's State Implementation Plan for the reduction of VOC emissions in ozone non-attainment areas would likely be minimally impacted. If this results in fewer emissions reductions, those reductions would have to be made up with new strategies.
The DNR anticipates minimal fiscal impact would result from this proposal.

DESCRIPTION
