ASSUMPTION
Officials from Linn State Technical College and the St. Louis Community College System assume this proposal would have no fiscal impact on their organizations.
Officials from the Coordinating Board for Higher Education (CBHE) assume the following: Currently, community colleges receive five percent of the prior year's operating budget for maintenance and repair, and five percent for capital projects. This bill allows a full ten percent for maintenance and repair, regardless of capital projects, and the community college will still continue to request capital projects in addition to the maintenance and repair request. To provide an approximate impact if the bill is effective for FY 2003, the maintenance and repair request would be $9,182,084 instead of $1,823,447, and the capital project request would remain constant at $7,286,000 for a total of $16,468,084 for FY 2003. However, since these amounts are subject to appropriation, the fiscal impact could range from $0 to $16,468,084, assuming the amount appropriated for capital projects does not increase.
Oversight assumes the proposal would not require any change in appropriations for the community colleges.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
No direct fiscal impact to small businesses would be expected as a result of this proposal.
DESCRIPTION
This proposal would exclude capital appropriations from the amount of prior year's state appropriations for operating purposes, used to compute the community colleges' allowable maintenance and repair appropriation request of ten percent of prior year's operating appropriations. The community colleges would continue to request capital project appropriations in addition to the operating appropriation request, and the maintenance and repair appropriation request.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
