FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials from the Missouri House of Representatives, Missouri Senate, Department of Public Safety, Office of the Governor, Department of Economic Development and Department of Social Services assume the proposed legislation will not fiscally impact their organizations.



Officials from the Department of Health and Senior Services (DOH) stated the proposed legislation would not be expected to significantly impact the operations of the DOH. If the proposal were to substantially impact the DOH programs, then the DOH would request funding through the legislative process. The DOH would make information available to associations through the department's web-site and by communication through association newsletters if changes to the legislation are made. The associations can then make the information available to the related organizations.

DESCRIPTION



This act creates a food recovery program for restaurants to provide food to needy persons. A new Section 192.081 is created and defines the term "donor" to include restaurants, cafeterias, delis or

other facilities selling food for consumption. Donors and organizations may make reasonable efforts to

contact each other for the collection of food. The Department of Health and Senior Services must develop a brochure regarding food recovery and must report to the Governor, Pro Tem, and Speaker by November 1, 2003.



DESCRIPTION (continued)



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