ASSUMPTION
| The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) states that this proposed
legislation would have no impact on their agency.
Officials from the Secretary of State's Office (SOS) assumed the rules, regulations and forms issued by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education could require as many as 8 pages in the Code of State Regulations. For any given rule, roughly half again as many pages are published in the Missouri Register as in the Code because cost statements, fiscal notes and the like are not repeated in the Code. These costs are estimated. The estimated cost of a page in the Missouri Register is $23. The estimated cost of a page in the Code of State Regulations is $27. The actual costs could be more or less the SOS's estimated cost of $492 for FY 2003. The impact of this legislation in future years is unknown and depends upon the frequency and length f rules, filed, amended, rescinded or withdrawn. Oversight assumes the SOS could absorb the costs of printing and distributing regulations related to this proposal. If multiple bills pass which require the printing and distribution of regulations at substantial costs, the SOS could request funding through the appropriation process. Any decisions to raise fees to defray costs would likely be made in subsequent fiscal years. |

DESCRIPTION
The proposed legislation asserts that when school districts develop an individualized education program for a student who has received services pursuant to Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the district shall consider giving preference to continuing services with that student's Part C provider, unless this would result in a cost which exceeds the average DESCRIPTION (continued)
cost per student in early childhood special education for the district responsible for educating the student.
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education may develop guidelines to govern the provisions of proposal.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
